My go-to LLM tool just dropped a super simple Mac and PC app for local AI - why you should try it

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-18 02:45:37

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways Ollama AI devs have released a native GUI for MacOS and Windows. The new GUI greatly simplifies using AI locally. The app is easy to install, and allows you to pull different LLMs. If you use AI, there are several reasons why you would want to work with it locally instead of from the cloud. First, it offers much more privacy. When using a Large Language Model (LLM) in the cloud, you never know if your queries or results are b

Google mocks Apple's Siri AI delays in new Pixel 10 ad

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-12-18 06:31:00

What just happened? If there's one thing that stays the same in the ever-changing tech world, it's companies mocking Apple in their ads. The latest comes from Google, which goes straight for Cupertino's throat in the new Pixel 10 ad. Google's ad for its upcoming Pixel 10 suggests that if you buy "a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon, but it's been coming soon for a full year," you might want to change your definition of soon or "just change your phone."

Apple Music for Android gets redesigned with lyrics and translation

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-18 06:00:27

Apple has released the beta version of Apple Music version 5.0 for Android, and as 9to5Google reports, it doesn't feature a Liquid Glass redesign like its counterpart for iOS 26. Liquid Glass is what Apple calls its new visual language, so it's not quite clear whether the Android iteration of the app will ever get the same visual overhaul. It did get a handful of elements from the iOS 26 version, though, including new pill-shaped buttons for play, shuffle and repeat at the top of albums, playlis

Say Goodbye to Spam Calls With Call Screening in iOS 26

Apple released the first public beta of iOS 26 on July 24. The beta brought a handful of new features, like a new Liquid Glass design and the ability to change your alarm's snooze length, to the iPhones of developers and beta testers. It also gave developers and beta testers the ability to screen incoming unknown calls, that way spam callers don't bother you as much.
