Core AI: Running Models on Apple Silicon
Core AI is iOS 27's low-level model-execution framework: asset vs model, NDArray tensors, compute-unit targeting, and inference functions on Apple silicon.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
What's New in Swift (2026): The WWDC26 Update
Swift 6.3 and 6.4 from WWDC26: anyAppleOS availability, module selectors, borrow/mutate accessors, the Iterable protocol, Swift Testing interop, and MLX.
AI & TechnologyFoundation Models on Private Cloud Compute
iOS 27 adds a server-scale Foundation Model on Private Cloud Compute with on-device privacy, plus a protocol to plug in your own LLM provider.
AI & TechnologyYour Agent Has Two Untrusted Inputs
AI agents have two untrusted inputs: code the model writes and tool output it reads. One now has a real WASM sandbox; the other, MCP tool poisoning, does not.
AI & TechnologyApple's Translation Framework: Free, On-Device, and Sharper Than It Looks
Apple's Translation framework: free on-device translation via translationPresentation and TranslationSession, plus the offline-download edges demos skip.
AI & TechnologySwift 6.2 Concurrency in Practice: Default to MainActor, Escape on Purpose
Swift 6.2 inverts concurrency: default your module to MainActor (SE-0466), run nonisolated async on the caller (SE-0461), escape with @concurrent.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Mark Shuttleworth
Mark Shuttleworth built Ubuntu on one idea -- Linux for human beings, free software for everyone -- grounded in ubuntu: humanity to others, shipped on a clock.
Engineering & CraftApple Foundation Models: The On-Device LLM Framework, Explained
Apple's Foundation Models framework: LanguageModelSession, @Generable guided generation, tool calling, availability, and when to leave the on-device model.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Sophie Wilson
Sophie Wilson designed the ARM instruction set -- now in nearly every phone on Earth -- with a tiny team and a ruthless RISC efficiency that made low power almost an accident.
Engineering & CraftEngineering Philosophy: Roberto Ierusalimschy
Roberto Ierusalimschy designed Lua around one principle -- mechanisms, not policy -- a small, fast, embeddable language that hands you the levers instead of the rules.
Engineering & CraftThe iOS 26 Widget Surface: One App Intent, Many Places
iOS 26 widgets, Control Center controls, and Live Activities are all App Intents surfaces. One intent powers buttons, controls, and Live Activity actions.
AI & TechnologyEngineering Philosophy: Margaret Hamilton
Margaret Hamilton coined 'software engineering' and wrote the Apollo flight code that survived the 1202 alarm. Defensive design and error recovery.
