According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple created a team called "Answers, Knowledge and Information" earlier this year that's tasked with developing a "stripped-down rival to ChatGPT." Forming this team represents a major change in direction from Apple's earlier stance on artificial intelligence when the co

I am building as a side-project a tool called SuperVM.

19 Best Barefoot Shoes for Running or Walking (2025), Tested and Reviewed
