It's a funny predicament for Eggers, given that he's arguably the city's biggest proponent of the written word... Now age 56, Eggers' latest book... Read more

Enterprise architects evaluating agentic workloads have had to choose between capable cloud-dependent models and limited on-device ones. Apple's third-generation foundation models, announced at WWDC26, break that constraint by moving the weight set off DRAM entirely.The AFM 3 family was developed in collaboration with Google...
