Even before its launch, it has already attracted interest online, from investors, and “tens of thousands” of users, according to its creator — a sign that consumers might want a more AI-conscious iPhone.

But their embrace may be a bit tight, as the cost of building a facility has risen 66% in the past two years, according to a new report from BloombergNEF.

Built with AWS Strands Agents SDK and Tauri. You ask Tendril to do something. It checks its capability registry. If a tool exists, it uses it. If not, it writes one, registers it, and executes it — all without asking. Next time you need the same thing, the tool is already there.

However, France is taking steps to reduce its reliance on Windows, while the local intelligence agency recently renewed its contract with an increasingly controversial data analysis company. This paradox represents Europe's messy disconnect from American technology.
