Google Reinvents Android With Gemini, Google and SpaceX Eye Orbital AI, Amazon's Token Problem

Today we're covering the biggest AI stories of May 13th, 2026. Google unveiled Gemini Intelligence — a new cross-device AI platform for Android — alongside a new line of Googlebook laptops built with Dell, HP, Lenovo, and others that run Android apps, feature a Magic Pointer AI cursor, and ship this fall as the first truly Gemini-native consumer devices. Google is also in talks with SpaceX to launch orbital data centers, with Google already holding a 6% stake in SpaceX and its own Project Suncatcher targeting satellite prototypes by 2027 — putting both companies on the same side of a race that Anthropic and Elon Musk's Colossus deal already set in motion. Plus, Amazon's internal push to get 80% of developers using AI weekly is backfiring — with employees gaming their token usage scoreboards by burning compute on unnecessary tasks just to hit the numbers — and today's community workflow comes from a man who lost his brother unexpectedly, and on the morning of the funeral vibe-coded and deployed a live photo wall site overnight so hundreds of guests could upload memories in real time, giving his mother a collection she never would have had.
