Ant Group's AI health app AQ, the iOS version, topped the Apple healthcare chart within 24 hours of its release. The app integrates a self-developed medical large model, offering over 100 AI services such as seeking medical advice, connecting nearly one million doctors and 5,000 hospitals. Its AI consultation room can simulate a real doctor's diagnosis, and the AI doctor avatars include over 200 top-tier hospital experts. Featured functions include health record management, supporting the connection of Apple devices to obtain health data. AQ is among the first applications in China to pass the national medical large model trust evaluation. It will cooperate with Apple Watch in the future.

Apple's slow progress in the AI field has led to speculation about senior management changes, with analysts suggesting that CEO Cook should step down. Although the board still supports Cook, the unimpressive AI performance at the WWDC conference has increased investor disappointment. Under Cook's leadership, Apple's market value grew from 340 billion to 3.1 trillion dollars, but critics argue that his success is largely based on improvements from the Jobs era. Faced with the challenges of the AI era, the outside world questions whether Cook has the innovative leadership to open a new chapter for Apple.

Apple's MLX framework now supports CUDA, allowing developers to create applications on Apple Silicon devices and export them to run in a CUDA environment. This move significantly reduces development costs, as small teams no longer need to purchase expensive Nvidia hardware upfront. The project, led by GitHub developers, has been integrated into the main MLX branch. Although it does not support running directly on Macs with Nvidia GPUs, development and testing can be fully completed on Apple devices. Performance in CUDA environments is significantly better than on Macs, and combining it with Nvidia hardware for AI applications is highly beneficial.

Apple's MLX framework adds CUDA support, enabling seamless AI app migration from Mac to NVIDIA platforms. This breakthrough resolves Metal framework limitations, achieved by @zcbenz through months of integration. Feature ensures code compatibility, lowering development barriers by allowing Apple Silicon prototyping with optional NVIDIA deployment.....

Apple's AI head Ruoming Pang joins Meta's AI lab with a $200M+ package, surpassing Tim Cook's pay. Apple didn't counter, restructuring its team instead. This high-profile move may trigger departures, highlighting Meta's aggressive AI talent strategy.....

Apple's AI head Ruoming Pang is leaving for Meta, causing a stir. The former Google engineer led core AI tech like Genmoji at Apple, where internal pressure mounts to adopt external models. Meta offers multi-million salaries, recently poaching AI talent from OpenAI. Apple's team will restructure under new leadership as AI competition intensifies.....

Apple released SceneScout AI agent, which provides environmental descriptions for visually impaired individuals by analyzing street scene images. The technology includes two modes: route preview and virtual exploration, with an accuracy rate of 72%-95%. User studies showed that it effectively improves environmental awareness, while suggesting the addition of personalized descriptions and real-time feedback features. Although still in the research phase, it demonstrates the potential of AI in assisting visually impaired individuals with navigation.

Apple AI executive Ruoming Pang has joined Meta, joining its newly established Super Intelligence Lab with a salary of millions of dollars. Meta recently restructured its AI business, led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, and invested 2.9 billion dollars in Scale AI. This move highlights the increasing competition among tech giants for AI talent, as Meta accelerates its layout through high salaries and strategic investments. Apple and Meta have not commented on the matter.

Recently, it was reported that Apple is in talks with OpenAI and Anthropic, planning to adopt their artificial intelligence technology in the upcoming new version of Siri. This shift indicates that Apple may seek external help in the AI field, significantly altering its long-standing strategy of relying on in-house development. Currently, Apple's AI features are mainly based on its self-developed "Apple Foundation Model," which is expected to launch a new voice assistant in 2026. However, if Apple adopts third-party technology...
