## Resource

In this episode of The Circuit, Ben and Jay dive deep into Apple's WWDC announcements , unpacking the "applied AI" strategy behind the newly indexed Siri, system-level CPU scheduling updates, and Apple's surprising embrace of Nvidia for private cloud compute. Ben also shares his takeaways from the Nebius conference in San Francisco, analyzing their unique custom server racks and their positioning as a highly capable neo-cloud infrastructure provider. Finally, Jay reports back from his recent trip to China , sharing ground-level observations on why US entity list restrictions are losing their impact, how IoT chipmaker Espressif creatively markets globally via Reddit and YouTube despite domestic blocks, and the real-world manufacturing bottlenecks facing humanoid robot actuators.
