What Apple's Swift Team Said in the WWDC26 Lab
Apple's Swift Group Lab at WWDC26 ran without captions. We transcribed it locally. Candid engineer answers on concurrency, ~Sendable, and the roadmap.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
The HTML <model> Element Comes to Every Apple OS
The HTML model element now renders drop-in 3D in Safari on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with stagemode, entityTransform, baked animation, and AR Quick Look.
Web DevelopmentFoundation Models Image Input in iOS 27
iOS 27 gives the on-device Foundation Models LLM Vision: drop a UIImage, CGImage, or pixel buffer into a prompt as an attachment, and reason over it.
AI & TechnologyCSS Grid Lanes: Native Masonry in Safari
CSS Grid Lanes brings native masonry layout to Safari 26.4 in three lines of CSS, with a flow-tolerance dial that fixes masonry's old tab-order problem.
Web DevelopmentFoundation Models from Python: the fm CLI
macOS 27 ships the fm command line tool plus a Foundation Models SDK for Python, so you can script Apple's on-device model and build evaluation pipelines.
AI & TechnologyMetricKit Rebuilt: State-Aware Telemetry in iOS 27
MetricKit is rebuilt in iOS 27: async metric and diagnostic streams, Codable reports, and a StateReporting framework that splits metrics by app state.
AI & TechnologyRunning Agentic AI on the Mac with MLX
WWDC 2026: run the full agentic AI loop locally on the Mac with MLX, scale it across multiple Macs, then secure and profile it with Apple's frameworks.
AI & TechnologyMeet Music Understanding: On-Device Audio Analysis
Music Understanding is Apple's on-device framework for analyzing a song's key, rhythm, structure, pace, instrument activity, and loudness in Swift code.
AI & TechnologyCustomizable Select: Style the Real <select> at Last
Safari 27 and Chrome 135 let you style the real select element: appearance: base-select, ::picker(select), rich HTML in options, and a swappable button.
Web DevelopmentGame Porting Toolkit 4: Agentic Game Ports on Mac
Game Porting Toolkit 4 ships agentic porting skills as a Claude Code plugin plus gpucapture and gpudebug CLI tools. Cyberpunk's manual port set the bar.
AI & TechnologyApp Schemas: Make Your App Available to Siri
App Schemas describe an app's content and actions in terms Siri already understands, so Siri reasons over your data and acts on it, no training phrases.
AI & TechnologyUSDKit: Swift-Native OpenUSD on Apple Platforms
USDKit brings first-class OpenUSD to Swift: open a stage, reference assets via composition, author accessibility, and export with mesh compression in 2026.
