Un 16 de Diciembre, en 1999, se publicó por primera vez Macuarium. Y seguimos por aquí :-). Aunque Apple haya ganado la guerra, las redes se comieran a las comunidades, y no podamos reunirnos para celebrarlo.

Gracias a todos los macuarianos.

Based on 2025 benchmarks from sources like Hugging Face, Clarifai, and Apple ML, FastVLM (0.5B-7B) leads for web apps with 85x faster inference, 3x smaller size, and real-time WebGPU browser support (TTFT under 1s on devices). Alternatives: SmolVLM for compact video tasks (500M params, high efficiency), Qwen2.5-VL for versatility (70+ on MMMU, low latency ~0.09s TTFT). Choice depends on specific needs like speed vs accuracy.

🚨 Apple just released FastVLM on Hugging Face - 0.5, 1.5 and 7B real-time VLMs with WebGPU support 🤯

> 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than comparable sized VLMs
> 7.9x faster TTFT for larger models
> designed to output fewer output tokens and reduce encoding time for high resolution images

Bonus: works in REALTIME directly in your browser powered by transformers.js and WebGPU 🔥

Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 Air in 2 weeks and Samsung fanboys will rant about how Apple copied the S25 Edge.

Little do they know that Samsung and other Android companies started making thin phones again due to iPhone 17 Air leaks…

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

It’s going to be the most exciting Apple launch for tech fans in many, many years if you ask me.

Samsung phones before iPhone
Samsung phones after iPhone

The reality is in front of you

Apple COOKED with this graphic 😳

How dare Apple promote their movie by literally printing its name on the Mac

People are building Mac Mini servers again because of the incredible Performance/Watt and value offered by the M4 Mac Mini.

Soon people will be creating AI servers using Macs…

Coming Soon: Siri with Personal Context

This is THE Apple Intelligence feature to look out for. In early 2025 Siri will get Personal Context, a huge semantic index that allows it to access every part of your device.

Siri will understand who you are and what you’re doing, allowing it to assist you in obscure and personal aspects of your life such as “when should I leave to meet my mother at the Airport”. Siri will understand who your mother is, when her flight arrives (using messages and emails) and assess traffic information to the airport on your behalf.

Moreover, with App Intents, Siri will be able to CONTROL your device on your behalf. It will be able to edit photos on your behalf, or paste images into specific documents.

THIS is Apple’s vision for an AI assistant, and it will only keep getting better from here.

15. Private Cloud Compute (PCC)

Unlike other tech companies that merely promise security with a “trust me bro” model, Apple developed a billion-dollar cloud infrastructure JUST for Apple Intelligence and its user privacy.

Private Cloud Compute uses Apple’s own custom AI silicon that runs a custom OS. An image of PCC servers is available to independent security experts with a bounty of $1,000,000 to anyone who discovers a security flaw.

These PCC servers actually have ZERO persistent storage so no user data is stored, unlike other AI companies which make no such promises.

Huawei’s HarmonyOS vs Apple’s iOS weather app…

Why is Huawei allergic to creating original UI 😭

@theapplehub The critical issue is the price in each market, especially during the tariff wars.

US prices can be double the prices in the rest of the world. But Apple likely won’t do it that way.

…open source needs to be celebrated, supported and defended. Especially when it’s not convenient to do so. People who are working for open source are working for us.
We’d miss it if it were gone.

Se avisa a los señores moderadors que se ha abierto una sala de WhatsApp para intercambiar batallitas y tomarse el pelo. Aquellos veteranos que no hayan recibido invitación, pasad número por privados porque se debió perder en la mudanza. @miguimau por ejemplo :-).

Aquí viendo #AlaskaRevelada @fangoriawarner con billieholiday y recordando la entrevista que le hicimos hace ya ¿veinte años? Y aquella conversación con Carlos Berlanga en los primeros foros… ¿en el 2000?
