X Launches Custom Timelines AI-Curated Feeds Powered by Grok.
X Unveils "Custom Timelines": A New Way to Curate Your Feed with Grok

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, has officially introduced Custom Timelines, a new feature that allows users to create personalized sub-feeds based on specific topics of interest. Bier describes this as "one of the most significant architectural changes to the X experience" marking the culmination of months of intensive development.

How It Works: Precision Curation

Users can now navigate to the Home tab and select specific topics to generate a dedicated feed. The content displayed in these timelines is powered by a sophisticated blend of Grok’s AI intelligence and the user's individual engagement history.

  • The "Learning" Effect: Bier emphasizes that the Custom Timelines become increasingly accurate the more users engage with the posts within them. The AI actively learns from your likes, replies, and reposts, refining the relevance of future content.

Availability and Access

At launch, X is offering 75 distinct topics ranging from food, art, and photography to business, finance, and movies.

  • Subscription & Platform: The feature is currently exclusive to Premium subscribers and is rolling out first on iOS and Web. An Android rollout is scheduled to follow in the coming weeks.

The biggest problem with X over the years has been "noise," or junk information cluttering the main news feed, making users feel overwhelmed. Implementing Custom Timelines was a very clever strategy, transforming X from a "general news" platform into a "niche community" where users can choose to consume only what they truly want to see.

This feature is a "killer feature" for Grok. Competitor algorithms often base their content selection on popularity, but Grok has the ability to analyze the context of posts in greater detail, resulting in a deeper and more relevant feed than feeds curated using conventional methods.

For Premium subscribers, this is well worth the money. It makes X a tool for work or knowledge gathering, rather than just entertainment. This helps reduce the churn rate and fosters greater loyalty among paying premium users.

[Rumors] Google Caps Meta Gemini Access as AI Inference Demands Push Cloud Capacity to Its Limits.

-
Image
Google Restricts Meta Access to Gemini AI, Citing Severe Infrastructure Bottlenecks and Compute Shortages Highlighting the compounding infrastructure strains across the artificial intelligence sector, The Financial Times (initially reported via The Information ) has revealed that Google formally notified Meta Platforms around March 2026 that it could no longer allocate sufficient compute resources to fulfill Meta's massive purchase orders for its Gemini AI models. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that this severe capacity bottleneck has directly disrupted and delayed multiple internal AI projects at Meta. To mitigate the ongoing compute drought, Meta executives have been forced to implement strict token rationing , encouraging engineers and internal teams to optimize and scale back their automated AI token consumption to reduce processing overhead. This computational deficit is not isolated to the Facebook parent. Several other major Google Cloud enterprise clients hav...

Netflix Intensifies Anti-Sharing Crackdown Enforcing Mandatory Emails for Individual Profiles.

Netflix Escalates Password-Sharing Crackdown, Mandates Individual Email Addresses for Account Profiles In a strategic move to further tighten control over credential sharing, Netflix has initiated a global rollout of a new verification mechanism, forcing individual user profiles within a single household account to link their own dedicated email addresses. Historically, Netflix’s architecture has operated on a two-tier system: Account Level: The primary administrative tier, which has always required a master email address and credit card linkage. Profile Level: Sub-accounts tailored for individual family members under the same household, which previously required nothing more than a custom name and avatar. Under this new compliance wave, users clicking into their unlinked sub-profiles are now greeted with mandatory prompt screens instructing them to register a distinct, individual email address. While Netflix officially frames this implementation around enhanced personalization, sim...

The End of an Era: Sony Announces Phase-Out of Physical PlayStation Discs by January 2028 In a definitive move that signals the twilight of physical gaming media, Sony  has officially announced it will cease production of all physical disc-based software starting January 2028 . The sweeping mandate will apply to all newly released titles across the PlayStation console ecosystem. Sony cited shifting consumer behavioral patterns and a broader transformation within the entertainment sector where reliance on physical media has precipitously declined in favor of instant digital distribution as the primary catalysts for this historic transition. Following the January 2028 hard deadline, all subsequent game releases will be distributed exclusively via the digital PlayStation Store and authorized third-party digital storefronts. Sony clarified that legacy titles manufactured and released prior to this cut-off date will not be impacted, and back-catalog physical discs will continue to func...

Polestar Hit by U.S. Ban Under 'Connected Vehicle Rule' Over Chinese Software Risks; Volvo Cars Spared Under Special Exemption In a major geopolitical blow to the premium electric vehicle (EV) sector, Polestar  the EV manufacturer under China's Geely Holding Group has formally announced that the U.S. Department of Commerce has banned the sale of its upcoming vehicle lineup in the United States. The federal embargo targets the brand's integrated software architecture, citing potential national security vulnerabilities linked to technological ties with mainland China. Polestar, which originally spun out from Volvo Cars (itself a subsidiary of Geely), fell directly into the crosshairs of the stringent Connected Vehicle Rule . Enacted by the U.S. government in early 2025, this regulatory framework grants Washington the sweeping authority to ban any vehicle utilizing hardware or software modules connected to China or Russia. The mandate operates on a strict compliance timel...

SpaceX Reportedly Briefs Pre-IPO Investors on Sleek AI Hardware Prototype Powered by xAI and Qualcomm The Wall Street Journal , citing inside sources familiar with the matter, reports that SpaceX has internally engineered a prototype for a dedicated, ultra-thin AI-native handheld device. The aerospace giant reportedly showcased the experimental hardware to a select group of institutional investors during recent high-profile, pre-IPO financial briefings. Sources noted that the physical form factor of the device is remarkably sleek, measuring noticeably thinner than a flagship Apple iPhone. Preliminary details indicate that the handheld device operates on a proprietary, custom-built operating system engineered from the ground up. Rather than relying on third-party cloud models, the device’s core cognitive intelligence is driven natively by xAI (SpaceX’s sister artificial intelligence firm), while the underlying silicon brain processing the on-device workloads is supplied by Qualcomm ....

Tech Giants Under Fire: Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron Face New Antitrust Class-Action Over 700% DRAM Price Hikes A high-profile antitrust class-action lawsuit has been officially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California , accusing the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers of illegal market manipulation. The lawsuit, spearheaded by 17 individual plaintiffs, alleges that Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Micron Technology conspired to artificially restrict the supply of Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM), leading to an exponential price surge of over 700% over the past four years . According to the complaint, the semiconductor triumvirate leveraged the explosive artificial intelligence boom to orchestrate a coordinated production shift. The plaintiffs assert that the companies intentionally reallocated their primary manufacturing capacity away from legacy consumer memory formats specifically DDR3 and DDR4  toward highly lucrative High Ban...
