It matters because, just like when the App Store launched in 2008, it's up to developers to build the apps that get Apple users excited about AI. At this point, they're not ready to talk about the more advanced AI they're likely working on. The good news is they have a couple of years to figure it out.</a> </div> <div class="tweet" style="padding: 1px 0;"> <img class="tweet_image" width="12" src="https://techmeme.com/img/twitter_x.png" style="width: 12px;"> <a class="tweet_cite" href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=e387d7d195&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: black;">@gilbert:</a> <a class="tweet_body" href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=95554441ee&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: black;">.@benthompson Apple listened to you opening up on-device models!! “Experiences that are smart, available when you're offline, and protect your privacy.” ...and offers developers the value that Apple uniquely can with a billion devices at the edge with free compute</a> </div> <div class="tweet" style="padding: 1px 0;"> <img class="tweet_image" width="12" src="https://techmeme.com/img/twitter_x.png" style="width: 12px;"> <a class="tweet_cite" href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=771d8dd87b&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: black;">@drbarnard:</a> <a class="tweet_body" href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=c2e41abd41&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: black;">I debated this with @_chuckyc recently, the idea of free AI use sounds great, but for mosts tasks, you want the best model possible, and that's not an Apple model on device.</a> </div> </td></tr> </table> <table class="clustered_items" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> <tr><td style="padding:0px 10px 0 32px;"> <ul style="padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;"> <li class="sub_item" style="margin:10px 0 0;"> <span class="title" style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=0f076e335b&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: #004860;font-weight: bold;">Apple unveils Xcode 26, which will integrate ChatGPT for coding, doc generation, and more, and says devs can use API keys to add AI models from other providers</a></span> <span class="cite" style="color: #888;display: inline-block;white-space: nowrap;">(<span class="author">Ivan Mehta / </span><span class="pub_name">TechCrunch</span>)</span> </li> </ul> </td></tr> </table> </div> <div style="width:100%;border-top:1px solid lightgray;padding:14px 0;background-color:#f4f4f4;" class="story sponsor"> <table class="leading_item" style="width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;"> <tr> <td style="padding-left:10px;vertical-align:middle;"> <span class="label" style="display: block;color: #686860;font-size: 12px;font-weight: bold;padding: 2px 0;">SPONSOR</span> <span class="title" style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="https://techmeme.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ccd3ae223561415b05892ab&id=7c57259d1b&e=06cea4a9e4" style="text-decoration: none;color: #004860;font-weight: bold;">Ship with AI: The Future of Coding is Here</a></span> <span class="excerpt" style="color: black;font-size: 16px;"> — Use natural language in Slack to trigger real PRs, docs, dashboards, infra & more.
