APPLE

The Rundown: Apple just started rolling out new developer tools for upcoming Siri screen awareness features with Apple Intelligence, signaling a major enhancement to the digital assistant's contextual understanding capabilities.

The details:

  • New ‘App Intent APIs’ allow developers to make their apps' onscreen content accessible to Siri and Apple Intelligence.

  • The system will enable direct interactions with visible content across browsers, documents, photos, and more — all without screenshot workarounds.

  • Early ChatGPT integration testing is already available in the iOS 18.2 beta, though full-screen awareness features are expected in a future update.

  • The feature will look to compete with recent releases from competitors like Claude’s computer use feature and Copilot Vision.

Why it matters: Apple Intelligence has underwhelmed so far, but evolving Siri beyond voice commands into a context-aware assistant will be a welcomed improvement. Given the lackluster rollouts, these upgrades may require a ‘see it to believe it’ mindset before adding Apple to the AI leaderboards.

TENCENT

The Rundown: Tencent just released Hunyuan-Large, a new open-source language model that combines scale with a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture to achieve performances on par with rivals like Llama-405B.

The details:

  • The model features 389B total parameters but activates only 52B for efficiency, using innovative routing strategies and learning rate techniques.

  • Hunyuan-Large was trained on 7T tokens (including 1.5T of synthetic data), enabling SOTA performance across math, coding, and reasoning tasks.

  • Tencent’s model achieved 88.4% on the MMLU benchmark, surpassing LLama3.1-405B's 85.2% despite using fewer active parameters.

  • Through specialized long-context training techniques, the model also supports context lengths up to 256K tokens, double that of similar rivals.

Why it matters: Large open-source models are continuing to accelerate. Tencent’s impressive results with fewer active parameters could reshape how we think about scaling systems — potentially offering a more efficient path forward instead of simply making models bigger.

AI TRAINING

The Rundown: v0 can transform screenshots of your favorite interfaces into fully functional code with custom enhancements and interactive features.

Step-by-step:

  1. Take a clear screenshot of the interface you want to replicate.

  2. Upload the image to v0 and write a prompt describing what you want to build.

  3. Enhance your interface by requesting additional features like animations or responsive layouts.

  4. Export the production-ready code and customize it as needed.

Pro tip: You can paste the code provided into Cursor Composer, which adds it to your project. To learn more about it, check out this tutorial.

The Rundown: Apple is reportedly taking its first serious steps toward potential smart glasses development with a new internal research initiative called ‘Atlas’, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The details:

  • The internal 'Atlas' research program is reportedly currently gathering employee feedback on existing smart glasses products and use cases.

  • The research follows Meta's growing success in the category with its Ray-Ban smart glasses and recent prototype demos of ‘Orion.’

  • Apple’s Vision Pro headset has faced major adoption challenges since debuting in February, with recent reports of scaled-back production.

  • While a product would be years away, entering the category could align with efforts to reduce the cost and bulkiness of the Vision Pro.

Why it matters: While the Vision Pro had all the hype, Meta’s glasses have had far more success—and this research may be recognition that the future of AR may be everyday glasses rather than bulky headsets. While just an idea for now, Apple glasses could be more appealing as an accessory rather than a complex new system to learn.
