On-device AI agents hit a hard memory limit. Apple’s new architecture routes around it.

Published by skeptic

On-device AI models have stayed small because the entire weight set has to live in DRAM, capping practical parameter counts well below what server-side deployments use. Enterprise architects evaluating agentic workloads have had to choose between capable cloud-dependent models and limited on-device ones. Apple’s third-generation foundation models, announced at WWDC26, break that constraint by moving the weight set off DRAM entirely. The AFM 3 family was developed in collaboration with Google and spans five models: two on-device and three server-based, all running within Apple’s Private Cloud Compute boundary. The server-side models, including AFM 3 Cloud Pro for agentic tool use and complex reasoning, run on Nvidia GPUs in Google Cloud. The on-device architecture is Apple’s own. AFM 3 Core Advanced is a 20-billion-parameter model that stores weights in NAND flash rather than DRAM. “Instead of forcing the entire model into DRAM, the full model is stored in flash memory,” Apple’s research team wrote. “Because NAND-to-DRAM bandwidth is too slow to swap weights token by token, as standard MoE models require, AFM 3 Core Advanced makes …

Jet2 Unveils Dozens Of New Routes To Popular Summer Destinations

Published by Sam Flores

Recently, budget airline Ryanair axed routes and reduced capacity for a range of Greek airports, including Thessaloniki, Athens, Chania and Heraklion. But Jet2 seems to have gone the other way. Earlier this year, the travel company said its success at its relatively new London Gatwick base has led it to expand, including a “brand-new and exclusive route to Lesvos (Mytilene)” from 2027. They also said they were “delighted to be significantly expanding our Jersey programme for Summer 2027, with a great choice of flights now departing from six UK airports as a result”. This will include two new routes. A spokesperson told HuffPost UK that overall, they’ll be offering 30 new routes starting in 2027. “With 30 new routes and three brand new destinations, including Thassos, Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh, on sale for Summer 2027, we are giving holidaymakers a fantastic choice and flexibility when it comes to locking some sunshine into the diary,” they said. What are Jet2′s new 2027 summer routes? Per The Sun, these will be: 1) Birmingham 2) Bournemouth 3) …

Tour groups, temporary routes and toilets: the reshaping of Rome – photo essay | Italy

Tour groups, temporary routes and toilets: the reshaping of Rome – photo essay | Italy

Published by Sam Flores

By mid-morning, the area around the Trevi fountain is already difficult to cross. Visitors stop suddenly to take photographs while tour groups gather behind raised umbrellas, and security staff redirect the flow of people through temporary barriers placed around the monument. Nearby, souvenir kiosks sell rosaries, plastic gladiator helmets, bottled water and magnets in the summer heat. Rome has always depended on the people passing through it. Pilgrims, tourists and travellers have crossed the city for centuries, following routes that were familiar long before they arrived. What feels different today is the scale of that movement, and the way the historic centre has gradually reorganised itself around it. During the Jubilee year, the city can often feel structured almost entirely around the management of visitors. Barriers redirect pedestrian flows around monuments. Portable toilets sit beside churches and Renaissance walls. Pilgrims queue in the heat outside St Peter’s Square and Castel Sant’Angelo while crowds continue moving through temporary routes and checkpoints. Public space becomes a place of waiting, circulation and constant exposure. Around Rome’s most visited …

Some 4,000 officers, including 660 from outside London, will be deployed in the capital to prevent violence, antisemitism, anti-Muslim and other hate speech. Here’s everything we know about the two rallies. People taking part in the Unite the Kingdom protest must remain in Kingsway until the rally begins.

It will also reduce its capacity for another Greek hotspot, Athens Airport, during the upcoming winter season (2026). Overall, the site reads, these changes will result in the loss of about 700,000 inbound and outbound flights and the loss of 12 routes.  They will also suspend operations at Crete airports, Chania and Heraklion, during off-peak seasons. The company’s chief commercial officer, Jason McGuinness, claimed that Ryanair had been responsible fo 90% of international capacity to Thessaloniki. He added that they will be reallocating the aircraft no longer used for these locations to Albania, regional Italy and Sweden. Why are Ryanair cutting so many seats in these airports? Though jet fuel costs have ballooned since the US-Iran conflict, Ryanair cited another price hike here. The company said on their site that “This devastating loss in off-peak winter connectivity is the direct result of the hopelessly uncompetitive costs charged at the German-run Fraport Greece monopoly and Athens …
