TOP STORY

Apple opens its on-device AI to developers

The Summary: At WWDC25, Apple announced the Foundation Models framework, giving app developers direct and free access to its on-device AI. This OS-level integration is Apple’s pivot toward private, offline-first AI. Unlike rivals focused on massive cloud models, Apple is letting developers build features directly into apps using on-device models, without API fees or user data leaving the device.

Key details:

• Apple’s current on-device model can handle summarization, extraction, and generation in just three lines of code

• Live Translation enables real-time, on-device translation in Messages, FaceTime, and Phone

• The Foundation Models framework includes tool calling and format-constrained outputs for safe, structured AI responses

• Visual Intelligence expands to screen content: users can search or query what they’re viewing

• Xcode 26 adds ChatGPT integration for code generation

• Core apps like Mail, Calendar, Reminders, and Wallet get new AI features like summaries, delivery tracking, suggestions, and event extraction

• Coming this fall on iOS 26 and macOS 26

Why it matters: Apple isn’t trying to beat OpenAI or Google in benchmarks. Instead, it’s charting its own path, embedding local AI into the OS and developer tools, and focusing on user experience and privacy. Apple is betting on frictionless, on-device AI that fits its identity as a hardware and software company.

REPORT

New report quantifies how fast AI is moving

The Summary: Legendary tech analyst Mary Meeker published a 340-slide report on the state of AI. Known for calling major tech shifts before they happen, Meeker shows with detailed data how AI’s rise is off the charts. The data shows AI adoption outpacing all past revolutions like the web or mobile, with China gaining ground, costs collapsing, and foundational models approaching human-like performance.

Key details:

• Meeker calls the AI era “unprecedented” 51 times, backed by precise growth data, usage stats, and cost curves.

• ChatGPT hit 800M weekly users in 17 months; Google took over a decade to reach similar engagement

• ChatGPT app top markets: India 13.5%, USA 8.9%, Indonesia 5.7%

• DeepSeek now holds 21% of global share and beats many western models at a fraction of the cost

• Generation costs dropped by 99.7% in two years; Nvidia’s latest chips are 105,000x more energy efficient than a decade ago

Why it matters: The data shows AI isn’t just another tech hype cycle but a full-speed rebuild of the internet economy. Infrastructure is scaling and open-source AI is decentralizing. Companies are investing billions to grab share, and no one knows who will win profits. The report is a snapshot of how fast the AI landscape is moving.
