Apple is building an AI model for the China market 🇨🇳
☕️THE TEA:
Apple in collaboration with Alibaba has built its own AI model specifically for the Chinese market with the intent to finally bring Apple Intelligence to users in China.
The move is due to AI regulations in China which will make it difficult for foreign AU services like ChatGPT to operate there.
Would you want your iPhone’s AI experience to depend on the country you’re currently in?
Free Database: Firebase vs Supabase
☕️ THE TEA:
As a developer, you would have come across or heard of some free database tiers like MongoDB Atlas, Supabase, Oracle Cloud, Aiven, Apache Kafka, Firebase and the likes.
Comparing the most common used modern database Firebase and Supabase.
Firebase: This is efficient for developers who are looking for Google to handle most of the backend infrastructure.
Best for:
1. Creating Mobile apps
2. Used for saving game data
3. Manage push notifications,
4. Used for apps that need to scale quickly
5. Great for developers who don’t want to manage infrastructure
Supabase: This is efficient for developers who want a powerful PostgreSQL database that they can have total control over.
Best for:
1. Web Applications
2. Cloud hosted programs
3. Applications with heavy data usage
4. Applications with complex SQL queries
5. Developer tools
Which one is Better?
It actually depends on what you’re building.
Firebase is heavily managed and deeply integrated into Google’s ecosystem suitable if you want to move fast with minimal backend infrastructure.
Supabase gives you PostgreSQL with APIs, authentication, storage and other backend service built around it. Suitable if you want to have more control over your data.
Firebase or Supabase, which one are you choosing?

🚨 Cursor has completed its life cycle!
☕️ THE TEA:
Cursor which started as an AI powered code editor has transformed to something much bigger.
Just after some days of finalizing the deal with SpaceX, Cursor says its platform can support the entire software development cycle.
The journey from planning a project, to writing code, running tests, reviewing changes and shipping software.
WHY IT MATTERS:
As AI is moving beyond writing codes, agents can now collaborate in development workflows. Cursor on the other hand is adding plugging that connects agents to tools like deployment and testing.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Cursor has evolved to look something like this
AI Autocomplete code -> AI Coding assistant -> AI coding agents -> AI Software development team.
The futuristic part of this process could involve AI handling the entire process of building software which makes it more interesting.
MY TAKE:
The process from Cursor isn’t just to make developers code faster. It’s trying to give more power to developers to focus on designing systems while AI agents handle the execution.
Now the question has been changed from “Can AI code?” to “How much software development process can AI handle?”
Would you trust Cursor to take a feature from idea -> code -> tests -> production?
