Apple will open the doors to developers at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) next week. Beyond a big push on AI and new OSes focused on stability and performance, what should developers expect? Mostly it’s about new APIs, Foundation Models, and App Intents; here’s what I’ve been able to figure out so far.
Foundation Models
Apple has been building new Apple Intelligence APIs. One way it is achieving this is to take models made with Google Gemini, then distill and shrink them to fit inside (and run on) its devices. The progression will be to introduce these as a new crop of Foundation models developers can use in their apps. There’s more:
New APIs mean developers will be able to run Apple Intelligence tools such as summarization directly on the customer device, all offline, all private.
Developers that use Apple’s standard text editing/entry views will gain access to improved Apple-developed tools inside their apps without custom-coding.
Because intelligence takes place on the us

Topline Nvidia on Monday unveiled its new RTX Spark chip for consumer Windows laptops and desktops, which it touted as being capable of running “personal AI agents,” marking the company’s first foray into making a fully integrated consumer chip as it looks to take on the likes of Intel, AMD, Apple and Qualcomm. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduces the RTX Spark laptop during his keynote speech at Computex 2026 in Taipei. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts The RTX Spark is a cut-down version of the chips Nvidia uses on its AI supercomputers and the company claims it will be able to run powerful local AI agents, along with popular games and productivity software like Adobe’s Photoshop. Nvidia has been making consumer laptops and desktop GPUs for decades, but unlike the RTX Spark—which uses the AI giant’s own custom-made CPU—those computers had to be paired with either an Intel o

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn. Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of jo
Bitcoin’s market cap has dropped to roughly $1.46 trillion, pushing it below several major technology companies and commodities in global asset rankings.

The drop reflects mounting pressure on the cryptocurrency from multiple fronts — including rising inflation, geopolitical conflict, and weakening investor sentiment. Ki Young Ju, chief executive of crypto analytics firm CryptoQuant, now says the bear market could stretch into early 2027. His assessment is based on an on-chain profitability model that tracks how long investor losses typically drag on once profit-taking begins to unwind. Once profit-taking cascades, Bitcoin investors’ PnL typically falls for about 18 months. S
More than 172,000 traders were liquidated in a single day as Bitcoin’s losses piled up, pushing the cryptocurrency out of the world’s top 10 largest assets by market cap. Bitcoin now sits at 13th place, trailing gold, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and silver, among others.

Ethereum followed at $241 million, while XRP, ZEC, HYPE, SUI, DOGE, and NEAR recorded the remaining losses. Long positions made up more than 90% of all liquidations, a sign that traders had bet on a price recovery that never came — resulting in forced selling rather than new bearish bets. Four-hour liquidations hit $95 million, with longs at $55 million and shorts at $39 million. Across exchanges, Hyperliquid and Bybit saw heavy long liquidations, OKX leaned toward short liquidations, and Binance recorded equa

Apple is planning to sponsor and present 14 AI research papers at the annual IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Denver next week, just days before it introduces major new AI features at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC).
The fresh research explores topics such as using LLMs in image generation, quality testing, and user interface prototyping. For months, supply chain rumors have hinted at a radical evolution for the ubiquitous AirPods in the form of built-in ambient cameras. With this in mind, it’s noteworthy that one of the research papers, “From Where Things Are to What They’re For: Benchmarking Spatial–Functional Intelligence for Multimodal LLMs,” specifically seems to cater for such use cases.
