108 points on HN. Not an emulator and no JIT: it translates Android shared libraries into loadable Apple binaries linked into the Klepton runtime, maps GLES 3.2 onto ANGLE's Metal backend, and routes Vulkan through MoltenVK. The hardest problem is the x18 register conflict between Android and macOS ABIs, patched to use per-library TLS slots. Java-thin apps only, no ART or JVM, but Beat Saber reportedly runs on both Vision Pro and macOS with minor graphical issues. Completely unrelated to agents and the best pure engineering on the board today.

Marcel Pociot's experimental app, published September 14 at 173 stars two days later, routes system-level Siri and Shortcuts requests to a local Claude Code session with its tools and file access instead of to Apple's own model. Small repo, but the first concrete example of Ap...
Two platforms, two completely opposite bets on the same technology. At I/O 2026, Google announced Android AI Studio, which lets users build widgets, shortcuts, and mini-apps directly on their phones using natural language prompts. The Verge called it "vibe coding comes to phon...
Three moves, two days, no coordination between them. August 10–11: GitHub shipped Ollama as a BYOK provider inside Copilot for JetBrains (GitHub Changelog). Unsloth released Unsloth Desktop with a command literally named unsloth start claude, which points Claude Code and Codex...
Lily is Apache 2.0 inside pplx-garden, a small Metal inference server built for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B converted to MLX affine 4-bit, exposing a minimal OpenAI-compatible chat API with greedy decoding. The README explicitly rules out dense and smaller Qwen checkpoints, BF16, GGUF, AW...
Every browser-automation setup I've built in the past year has the same shape. A Playwright process. An MCP wrapper around it. A headless Chromium that drifts from the browser I actually use, with a different cookie jar, a different rendering path, and a login session I have t...
You noticed the Mac mini shortage. Here's what caused it. The Information reported, via Cult of Mac, that OpenAI has purchased tens of thousands of M5 Pro and M6 Mac minis plus M5 Max and Ultra Mac Studios over the past several months, running reinforcement learning and comput...
