The European Commission issued the fine in April, saying that Apple failed to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules to allow developers to accept payments for their apps outside Apple’s ecosystem.

Optimizing Tool Selection for LLM Workflows with Differentiable Programming

Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls. A typical pattern looks like: Use an LLM to decide which tool to invoke Call the tool (e.g. search, calculator, API) Use another LLM call to interpret the result and generate a final response This structure is easy to reason about, simple to prototype, and generalizes well.

Apple puts its products through a lot of tests during the development process, intended to ensure they have a long and reliable life even in challenging conditions. The company tests at least 10,000 iPhones prior to launch in an attempt to cover all the bases.
