Starbucks is developing internal AI-driven tools to replace parts of the software it currently buys from vendors including Microsoft and IBM, an internal presentation shows. Work includes homegrown alternatives to Microsoft’s inventory-tracking system and IBM’s maintenance-management tools; some projects could be deployed by the end of next year pending test results. CTO Anand Varadarajan told staff earlier this year Starbucks spends about $400m a year on software and sees clear opportunities to reduce that spend. Starbucks says AI is lowering the barrier to building bespoke applications and accelerating employees adoption.

Guangdong’s draft 15th Five-Year Plan for the information and communications sector, released for public comment, proposes provincial support for satellite and space‑ground network development. The draft calls for organizing firms to join national satellite‑IoT commercial trials and planning an integrated communications‑navigation‑remote‑sensing LEO constellation for the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area. It seeks deployment of ground‑space interconnection centers and gateway stations as key fusion nodes, integration of satellite and terrestrial mobile infrastructure, and exploration of network coverage for low‑altitude airspace above 300m and for remote areas. The plan promotes direct‑to‑phone satellite services and satellite IoT, targeting a satellite‑communications user base of 1 mln, and launches a ‘Broadband Guangdong Sea’ initiative to build a maritime 5G/5G‑A + subsea fiber + satellite communications and sensing network.

Military and defense analyst Alex Alfirraz Scheers said Iran is prepared to accept a return to large-scale conflict with the United States if control of the Strait of Hormuz requires it. He said the waterway is both a wartime prize and Iran's largest bargaining chip in future negotiations with the US. Scheers added: "The US also faces pressure from Gulf Cooperation Council states to ensure the Strait of Hormuz does not become Iran's exclusive waterway." He said a memorandum of understanding may not be entirely void but is on life support, and warned that both sides must recognize that a new round of escalation would benefit neither party.
