- Apple and Meta team up to run Muse Spark Open locally on Mac Studio
According to an analysis published on Huxiu, Meta's open-weight model Muse Spark Open will be able to run locally on clusters of M5 Ultra-equipped Mac Studio machines, with Apple providing on-device inference through its MLX framework and multi-machine coordination. The article says the model has roughly 816 billion total parameters and about 42 billion active parameters, and that Apple's machine learning team found it needs more than 1.6TB of memory at native precision and still about 493GB with 4-bit quantization, requiring several Mac Studios in parallel. It places the move alongside Apple's earlier integration of ChatGPT into Siri and of Google Gemini into Apple Intelligence, arguing Apple wants more models to run well on its hardware while Meta trades open weights for developer adoption and enterprise deployment.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 9 - ChatGPT's Chrome extension can now read and control your tabs
OpenAI has upgraded ChatGPT's Google Chrome extension so it can look at the tabs you already have open and use that context to answer questions or compare information across pages. With permission, it can also control those tabs to send messages, fill out forms, download files, and organize or group open tabs. The extension adds a sidebar with the full ChatGPT experience and conversation history, similar to Chrome's built-in Gemini integration, while Work mode uses OpenAI's Computer Use architecture to act on pages directly. OpenAI says availability depends on its rollout batches and workspace settings.
The Verge AI · 🔥 47 - TIME names iPhone Duo a best invention; Apple says it isn't chasing AGI
TIME published its 2026 Best Inventions issue with Apple CEO John Ternus on the cover and the iPhone Duo among the picks; Ternus took over as CEO on September 1, 2026. In the interview he discussed the iPhone Duo (reported to start above $1,999, with a hinge of more than 100 precision parts and nano-texture treatment to reduce the crease, following a 2011 Apple patent filing), memory supply shortages, and said "all options should be on the table" after reports that Apple tested Chinese chips. Apple SVP of Worldwide Marketing Greg Joswiak said the company does not feel threatened by OpenAI's hardware plans, adding that Apple is not building for the "die-hard AI believers chasing superintelligence" but for everyday users, with an emphasis on personalization and privacy; the report says the new Siri, built with Google Gemini technology, launched in the US in September 2026.
Techmeme · 🔥 23 - Nothing reportedly prepping two smart glasses, one with ChatGPT and a camera
Leaker Roland Quandt said on Bluesky that Nothing is preparing two very different smart glasses: a camera-free pair with audio playback, calls, access to the phone's voice assistant and photochromic lenses, and a more advanced pair that adds a camera plus ChatGPT, translation and other unspecified features. 9to5Google and other outlets note the camera model resembles the Ray-Ban Meta formula, and that Nothing has been building ChatGPT integration into its earbuds and phones rather than adopting Gemini. Reports say the glasses are expected around 2027, with AI processing handled by the phone and cloud and no AR display.
Android Authority · 🔥 0 - AI reputation management: how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini describe you
This guide, contributed by reputation firm Reputation Resolutions, argues that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini do not invent reputations but repeat what they find in training data and live web retrieval, so fixing the cited sources is more effective than arguing with a chatbot. It cites ChatGPT reaching 900 million weekly active users in February 2026 and Google's Gemini app passing 750 million monthly users by the end of 2025, and says Wikipedia accounts for 47.9% of ChatGPT's top-10 cited sources, Reddit 46.7% for Perplexity, and Reddit, YouTube and LinkedIn 21%, 18.8% and 13% respectively in Google AI Overviews. The recommended process is a baseline audit that records each platform's answer and cited links, sorting claims into accurate, outdated, false or mistaken-identity categories, fixing false allegations first and outranking content that cannot be removed. The user figures and citation shares are the article's own claims and were not independently verified.
The Next Web · 🔥 0 - US launches America.gov AI government portal powered by Gemini and Grok
The White House has launched America.gov as a single portal for finding federal information and using government services, with an AI chatbot built on Google Gemini and xAI Grok so citizens can ask questions in natural language. An executive order tasks the GSA administrator, the National Design Studio lead and the OMB director with building and running the platform, which also absorbs Login.gov for single-account access; IRS tax filing and national-security services from the Department of War and the intelligence community are excluded. The same GovTech roundup notes Japan's Digital Agency shared government AI platform Genai, planned to reach roughly 180,000 civil servants in fiscal 2026; Taiwan's OCR-and-AI reimbursement service for social welfare subsidies, which officials expect to cut document sorting and data entry time by about 90%; and Switzerland's plan for about 3,000 civil servants to use the open-source openDesk suite alongside Microsoft 365 by the end of 2027.
iThome 台湾 · 🔥 0 - Samsung's first AI smart glasses leak: 41g, Snapdragon AR1, November launch
SammyGuru published the full frame lineup and core specs of Samsung's first AI smart glasses: about 41 grams with standard lenses, a Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chip, 2GB RAM, 64GB storage, a 12MP camera with 30fps 3K video, four microphones and two open-ear speakers. The glasses have no display — AI replies are spoken through the speakers — and are rated for up to 9 hours of use, or 72 hours with the charging case, with IPX4 water resistance (the case has none). AIbase says the product may be called Galaxy Glasses, runs Android XR and deeply integrates Google Gemini. Frames are made with Gentle Monster (six shapes, 16 versions) and Warby Parker (three styles, 10 versions); a November launch is expected, with Gentle Monster models sold in Korea and the US and Warby Parker models US-only. Pricing and an exact date have not been announced.
IT之家 AI · 🔥 0 - China's office AI war: Feishu, WorkBuddy, Qwen Office and DuMate push agents
On Sept 15, 2026, ByteDance held its Feishu annual conference in Beijing, where Liang Rubo appeared for the first time to back Doubao Work; Feishu 8.0 treats agents as "organization members" that can be pulled into group chats to write docs, edit multi-dimensional tables, schedule meetings, join calls and start approvals, alongside a team-level agent called Doubao Work Companion that is still in co-creation with enterprises. The piece compares Tencent's WorkBuddy, Alibaba's Qwen Office, Baidu's DuMate and Feishu using vendor-reported figures: Feishu says H1 ARR grew 2.5x year on year and agent-callable features rose from 247 to 767 with execution success up from 78% to 95%; WorkBuddy claims 20.97M PC monthly visits in June and raised enterprise pricing from 78 to 198 yuan per user per month; Qwen Office claims 30M users in its first month, roughly 100% faster single-task generation and 75% lower token consumption; DuMate claims 150 iterations in five months and 60x growth in daily queries. It argues models are no longer the moat, with workflow and the combination of model, enterprise context, tool permissions and security governance deciding the outcome.
虎嗅 AI · 🔥 0 - DuckDuckGo AI Chat hands-on: private multi-model access, but no memory or agents
Android Authority tested Duck.ai (DuckDuckGo AI Chat) and found its anonymized proxy strips IP addresses, browser metadata and account identifiers before forwarding prompts, with contractual terms barring model providers from training on user data; no account is required and chat history stays local or end-to-end encrypted. The single interface lets users switch among GPT-4o mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, Llama 3.3 and Mixtral, but it lacks cross-session memory, a code-execution sandbox, heavy file and image multimodal tools, and custom agents or workflows. The reviewer says everyday queries feel about as fast as using ChatGPT directly, while heavy Gemini or ChatGPT users will quickly notice the missing features.
Android Authority · 🔥 0 - OpenAI's ChatGPT Intelligent UI hands-on: GPT-6 builds clickable answers
OpenAI said on October 7 that it is bringing GPT-6 to all ChatGPT users and rolling out a new Intelligent UI feature to paying users first. Under it, GPT-6 decides when to render images, cards, tables, charts or clickable controls, using a native component library that a compiler progressively renders as the model generates its answer. In a hands-on test, ChatGPT taught Cantonese mahjong with a playable hand area and discard buttons, and broke down Microsoft's Surface Laptop Ultra into product images, spec cards and architecture diagrams — which the reviewer argues is more practical for everyday chat than freely generated web pages.
36氪 人工智能 · 🔥 0 - I Let ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude Plan Two 'Happy' Days. They Scheduled Work Instead
A CNET writer gave ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude the same prompt: plan her next two days hour by hour, optimized for happiness. All three scheduled roughly 7 a.m. wake-ups, healthy meals, repeated walks and long blocks of work, while largely omitting social contact, internet browsing and going out with friends. She concludes the tools optimized for wellness and productivity rather than the happiness she asked for.
