Apple will let third-party developers use Apple Intelligence models to empower their apps

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-16 11:32:17

Apple today announced a new framework, called Foundation Models, that will allow developers to access the same models that power on-device Apple Intelligence. This will let third-party apps easily offer AI features. Because these models run locally using the Apple Silicon chips on your iPhone or iPad, they can be made available wholly offline, and with no associated cloud API costs. This is the first time Apple is giving developers direct access to the power of these on-device foundation model

At Augmented World Expo 2025, Snapchat announced a next-generation version of Snap Spectacles. These new spectacles should have a more lightweight and immersive design, and will be launching to the public next year. I had the opportunity to go hands on with the fifth generation Snap Spectacles towards the end of last year, and they were quite impressive.

The best part of Apple’s keynote yesterday, for me, was the introduction of iPadOS 26. Apple finally opened up the floodgates and gave iPad users everything they wanted. We have an actual multitasking window manager, new menu toolbars, better background tasks, and a revamped files app. All this has transformed how people will view iPads moving forward. But the fantastic thing is that this is not just reserved for the $1300+ iPad Pro; this now works on the $299 entry-level iPad. Apple just made t

One of the very first announcements on this year’s WWDC was that for the first time, third‑party developers will get to tap directly into Apple’s on‑device AI with the new Foundation Models framework. But how do these models actually compare against what’s already out there? With the new Foundation Models framework, third-party developers can now build on the same on-device AI stack used by Apple’s native apps.

There's a Steven Universe sequel series in the works at Prime Video

It's been five years since the Steven Universe saga ended, via a final season and movie that took the story into the future. Now, it's coming back, according to a report by Deadline . Prime Video is working on a sequel series, with franchise creator Rebecca Sugar in tow as an executive producer (and hopefully as a songwriter.)
