NVIDIA has released Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550B total (55B active) open Mixture-of-Experts hybrid Mamba-Transformer for long-running agents. It pairs a 1M-token context with up to ~6x higher inference throughput than comparable open LLMs at on-par accuracy, and ships with open weights, training data, and recipes under OpenMDW-1.1.

Meta may have one found one way to slash its massive data center bill: tents.

Poke, the startup that lets people use AI agents through simple text messages, has become the first AI agent approved for Apple’s Messages for Business platform.

Apple in recent years has opened Apple Developer Centers in Cupertino, CA, Shanghai, Singapore, and Bengaluru to allow developers to meet, exchange ideas or get help from trained staffers. It is now clear a new developer center will open in Europe, specifically in the German capital of Berlin, later this year. “Europe is home to an extraordinary community of developers who build apps that connect people, encourage creativity, and drive innovation,” says Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations, said in a statement. Developers will be able to receive support for their apps, regardless of whether they are built for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, macOS, or watchOS. The announcement comes just a few days before the company’s big Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) gets under way.

The systems, powered by Cosmos 3, are designed to accelerate development of autonomous vehicles, robots and vision AI systems.

On Election Day, people living in Monterey Park, Calif., became the first in the nation to ban data centers by a public vote. Their decision can only be overturned by another ballot measure.

Apple's WWDC nears: here's what you can look forward to.

Apple’s latest Safari privacy campaign is more than pre-WWDC marketing. It is an early signal of how the company plans to frame artificial intelligence (AI): as something that only works if users trust the platform behind it. The week before WWDC is often significant, as Apple tends to make announcements it simply can’t fit into the keynote itself. This year’s first pre-show reveal is a new campaign focused on privacy that shows how much more private Safari is than rival browsers; there’s even a highly entertaining video that makes the point.

The browser protects you from malicious scripts that might attempt to access passwords or credit card information. Safari also tells you what data an extension wants to access and can restrict access to match your settings. It blocks third-party cookies by default, detects and removes trackers, and has measures in place to prevent data companies from identifying —
