World’s first $4T company, a see-through phone, and a geofence that looks like a 🍆

Byte Size Buddy is here!

Hey buddy,
July’s tech news came in hot: loud, chaotic, and weirdly obsessed with trillion-dollar valuations and robot companions. Here’s what we’re byte-ing into this week:

Nvidia Hit $4 trillion. Just Casual Things.

Nvidia officially became the first company ever to hit a $4 trillion market cap. Shares cooled a little afterward, but as of now, they’re still sitting comfortably on the global throne, sipping champagne from a GPU fan blade.

Meanwhile, regulators are probably wondering, “Did we accidentally let one company control everything?”
(Yes. Yes, you did.)

Nothing Phone (3) - Game Boy Energy with a Magic 8 Ball

The Nothing Phone (3) is still transparent. It still glows. But now it has LED tricks built into the back like a Magic 8 Ball, spin-the-bottle, and a pixelated selfie preview.

Something Neo would use

Other cool features include:

  • A red recording light for full main character energy

  • An AI button that pulls context straight from your screen

  • A brighter, more efficient silicon-carbon battery

  • Matching KEF headphones with noise-cancelling, a clicky volume wheel, and a feature called Channel Hop that switches between your audio apps like it can read your mind

    It’s not trying to be the fastest phone on the market. It’s trying to be the one you flex like a new tattoo.

    WIRED has the full breakdown

Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2 Just Flexed on Everyone

Moonshot AI (China) dropped Kimi K2, a trillion-parameter open-source model that claims to outperform both Claude Opus 4 and GPT‑4.1 on coding and reasoning benchmarks.

It’s like the model looked at Silicon Valley and said, “That’s cute.”

This isn’t just a flex. It’s a warning shot:

  • China is building next-gen models that are lightning-fast and open-license

  • The West could lose its lead while chasing its own echo

  • Open-source AI is officially growing fangs

Sam Altman Wants ChatGPT to Remember Your Entire Life

At a recent Q&A, Sam Altman said his dream is a small AI that remembers everything about you. Like… everything everything.

Every convo, every book, every email, every weird Google search you hoped was anonymous.

The model becomes your life partner. Your second brain. Your memory.
Kinda cool? Kinda terrifying?

As Sam put it, Gen Z already treats ChatGPT like a life advisor. Boomers use it like Google.

We use it like therapy with a subscription button.

Tesla’s New Geofence Looks Like a…

Tesla launched a new geofence map for its robotaxis in Austin.
And it… Looks exactly like a p**is.

I swear I didn’t draw this

Or, depending on your vibe, a middle finger.

Elon hasn’t commented. Honestly, how do you top something that already says everything?

Meet Reachy Mini: The Cutest Robot You'll Ever Code With

Hugging Face announced Reachy Mini, a tiny, programmable AI robot with Python support and a surprising amount of charm.

This is not Optimus Bot with uncanny vibes.

This is a lil desktop buddy who nods while you chop veggies. Maybe sings lullabies.

Maybe becomes your sidekick while you learn to code.

Lite version? Check. Battery-powered version? Check.
Unreasonable levels of joy? Also check.

You could buy a cat. Or you could build a robot with built-in emotional support.
