These are the Daily Tech Headlines for Thursday, June 5th, 2025. I'm Sarah Lane. Nintendo's Switch 2 sold out at launch worldwide with long lines and midnight openings highlighting strong Demand. Despite that $450 price tag, the company received over 2.2 million online pre orders and says expects to sell 15 million units this fiscal year. Analysts see the console as the only real major hardware growth story in gaming Reddit is suing Anthropic for using Reddit content to train its models without permission or payment. The lawsuit alleges anthropic ignored Reddit's robots txt files and and scraped the site over 100,000 times even after being warned. Reddit licenses data to OpenAI and Google under specific terms, but says Anthropic refused to engage. Anthropic denies these claims. OpenAI added new connectors to ChatGPT for third party services like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint and Box. They're available in Deep Research mode for all paid users except in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, and more broadly for Team, Enterprise and edu plans. OpenAI says connector data from those plans will not train its models. A new macOS record mode for transcribing meetings is also rolling out 9 to 5. Mac reports that Apple is planning several new AirPods features and possibly debuting them at WWDC on Monday, including new head gestures, sleep detection, camera control to trigger iPhone or iPad cameras, and better mic quality. These updates could reportedly come to current models, not just new hardware. Meta shared more details on its upcoming Aria Gen 2 smart glasses with upgraded eye tracking that can detect blinks and estimate pupil centers. They have four computer vision cameras for 3D hand and object tracking, a heart rate sensor in the nose pad, a contact microphone optimized for noisy settings, and an ambient light sensor. But the Aria Gen 2 is aimed at researchers. It's not a consumer product. Not yet. A US Appeals court rejected Apple's request to pause a judge's order, forcing it to open its app store to more competition as part of the ongoing antitrust case brought on by Epic Games. The judge had found Apple in contempt for circumventing an earlier injunction, including by charging a 27% fee on out of store purchases. Apple will continue appealing. Hugging Face released a new open robotics model called Small VLA, designed to be efficient enough to run on a MacBook or a single consumer GPU. It has 450 million parameters, is trained on community contributed data sets, and is said to outperform larger models in virtual and real world robotics tasks. Small VLA also has an asynchronous inference stack to help robots respond more quickly to changing environments. In a bit of Hollywood news, AMC Networks signed a deal with Runway to use Runway's generative tools for marketing assets and pre visualizing unproduced shows. AMC wants to cut production costs but keep quality amid declining profits and just a change in viewer habits overall. Lionsgate, Fox and others previously announced partnerships with Runway as well. And meanwhile, the Hollywood Reporter sources say that Amazon's MGM Studios is fast tracking a film called artificial about OpenAI's 2023 boardroom drama, the one where CEO Sam Altman was abruptly fired and then rehired days later, right before Christmas. Filming may start as early as this summer.
