The deal, Anthropic’s first with a publication, was struck ahead of the midterms, Adweek reports. Thanks to the deal, if you “opened Claude on Election Night and asked it for an update on the latest polling data, you would have been treated to a novel sight: up-the-minute information, provided by and attributed to the Associated Press,” according to the publication.

Apple now lets apps show subscription retention messages.

When you’re trying to cancel a subscription, apps can show messages that “remind subscribers of your subscription’s value as they decide whether to cancel,” and they can even include a “special offer,” Apple says. I have a hunch these messages are going to be showing up in a lot of apps very soon. [Image: https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/11/2048.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all]

How many giveaways have odds this good?

I know, I know, I’m about to spoil it by saying something, but… if you entered the Today I’m Toying With giveaway last week, you had roughly a 1 in 150 chance of winning a prize because few people entered. (To be fair, I think many of us were a little distracted.) If you live in the US, you can enter every Wednesday!

Snap’s AR glasses are apparently on track to ship this fall.

CEO Evan Spiegel, discussing the Specs on today’s Q3 2026 earnings call: “We’re really looking forward to beginning to ship Specs later this fall.” That’s not exactly news, as Snap has been talking about a fall target since it revealed the Specs in June. But I want to point out that it’s already November. If you want to read about what it’s like to actually use the Specs, here’s my impressions.

Meta bought an AI coding startup.

First, xAI spent $60 billion on Cursor, and now Meta picked up Conductor for an undisclosed amount, as reported previously by Axios, as they all compete with the likes of Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. Conductor’s product is built to let software engineers manage multiple agents at once, and says it will wind down its existing setup: * Conductor Cloud goes read-only on November 13 and shuts down on November 20. * Local Conductor keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes until early 2027.
