Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.
Google's Pixel eleven is one week out, and the leaks keep coming. Marketing materials suggest the previously rumored Pixel Glow feature may actually launch under the name HiLight, with apparent ties to both Gemini and the phone's notification system. Prices are expected to climb, though how far remains an open question.
From a very different corner of tech, a cautionary tale out of the crypto world. The ElizaOS token, which once carried a market cap of two point four billion dollars, is now officially dead. Founder Shaw Walters told holders to sell, closing the book on a project that survived a lawsuit and a rebrand only to lose ninety-seven percent of its value.
And on a quieter but genuinely interesting note, MacPaw is partnering with Liquid AI to bring on-device inference to developers building on its app platform. The goal is a local version of its AI assistant Eney that runs without phoning home to the cloud — a meaningful step for privacy-conscious builders who want capable AI without the data exposure.
That's today's signal through the noise. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
