The Android 15 Source Code Has Been Released
The latest version of the operating system has arrived a month later than expected, but should roll out to Pixel devices very soon.
We usually hear about the latest Android versions at Google Pixel launch events, but the source code for Android 15 has finally been released on the Android Open Source Project. It was oddly absent from last month’s Google Pixel launch, but at least it’s available now. You can check out the developers’ go-live link here.
Android 15 will soon be available on select Pixel models. Additionally, devices from brands like Samsung, Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, Motorola, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi will receive support in the coming months.
Notable features include smart volume adjustment and dynamic range compression for apps using AAC audio with loudness metadata. Other updates and fixes include better split-screen app access and edge-to-edge app display for apps targeting SDK 35.

The developers are also launching a series called Spotlight Weeks to delve into technical topics related to the mobile operating system. They’ll kick off by discussing what’s new in Android 15.
Since Android 10, Google has moved away from naming its releases after desserts. After ending this tradition with Android 9 Pie, the focus has shifted to more straightforward branding and regular feature updates. While these changes reflect a more mature operating system, some of us miss the excitement of those earlier days. Maybe we’ll get a nostalgic nod to the older naming scheme buried somewhere in the settings?

NVIDIA Puts GPT-5.5 Codex In Hands Of 10,000 Staff
The chipmaker has significantly expanded OpenAI’s latest model across teams from engineering to HR under tight internal controls.
NVIDIA has started rolling out OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 model through the Codex coding agent to more than 10,000 employees, extending the tool well beyond software teams and into core business functions.
The deployment covers engineering, product, legal, marketing, finance, sales, HR, operations and developer programs. Staff are using Codex for coding, internal research and routine knowledge work as companies test whether AI agents can move from demos to daily use.
GPT-5.5 is running on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 rack-scale systems, linking OpenAI’s newest model directly to the chipmaker’s latest infrastructure push. NVIDIA said the systems cut cost per million tokens by 35 times and raise token output per second per megawatt by 50 times versus earlier generations.
Inside the company, it says the effects are immediate. Debugging work that once took days is being finished in hours and experiments across large codebases that used to stretch over weeks are now handled overnight. Teams are also building features from natural-language prompts with fewer failed runs.
In a company-wide note urging staff to adopt the tool, CEO Jensen Huang wrote: “Let’s jump to lightspeed. Welcome to the age of AI.”
Security remains central to the rollout. Codex can connect through Secure Shell to approved cloud virtual machines, allowing agents to work with company data without moving it outside approved environments. NVIDIA said it assigned cloud VMs to employees so agents run in isolated sandboxes with full audit trails.

The company added that the setup uses a zero-data-retention policy. Access to production systems is read-only through command-line tools and internal automation layers.
The move also highlights NVIDIA’s long relationship with OpenAI. NVIDIA said the partnership began in 2016, when Huang personally delivered the first DGX-1 AI supercomputer to OpenAI’s San Francisco office.
The two companies have since worked across hardware and model deployment. NVIDIA also said OpenAI plans to deploy more than 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems for future AI infrastructure.
For Gulf markets pouring money into sovereign AI and enterprise automation, the signal is clear: internal AI agents are moving from pilot phase to standard tooling.
