Another confusing thing on the screen was that in one of the chat controls there was a menu named “AI Prompt” with two options:

- Al Prompt (Product & engineering will reply) - Team message (Product & engineering will not reply)

What is “Al Prompt”, “Team message”, and “Product & engineering”?

Under workspace settings, I can see that my account has already burned 270,438 tokens, even though I have sent zero messages. [2] Is that from just the system prompt?

> Users can now prove the authenticity of a photo taken on iPhone 18 Pro models with Apple Reference Image, powered by the new sensor in the Main camera that can sign every pixel it sees. When a photo is taken in the new Reference mode, the camera captures signed sensor data that Private Cloud Compute develops into an unalterable reference image.5 Reference images can be viewed in the Photos app alongside the main image, like a digital negative, to visually compare the two assets and determine if any edits were made. APIs are available in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS 27 for third-party apps to enable viewing of these reference images.

As someone who only needs AI for a couple of tasks per day, I don't really care how much it costs, especially when subscriptions are subsidized. I want to filter by speed (eg, max task time < 1 min) and then choose the intelligence I need for the task. This will surface models like Gemma4 31B (xhigh) running on Cerebras and GPT Sol (med) fast mode. Using these models feels great and are affordable for infrequent tasks.

I have a feeling people reading this are thinking that a model router would be used to route between different providers. And in that case, a shared cache would be impossible, although some caching would still be effective. I think, ideally, a router like this is in front of a set of models hosted in one place.

“Software is about people” argues:

> I used to think software was fundamentally about code. Experience taught me that I was mistaken. Software is fundamentally an artifact made by people, for people’s purposes, and its success depends on them.

“Software ought to be about people” says:

> Software isn’t necessarily about people, but I believe it should be.

You may argue the latter, but I think the OP believes software is already shaped by humans .

And so we've looped back around OP’s “plain English” phrasing.
