Apple cracks China with Alibaba for iPhone AI
Apple recently posted and removed details explaining how Mac users in China could set up their computers to work with Alibaba's Qwen AI. Now, Reuters has confirmed long-held speculation that Apple has revisited its Google Gemini AI playbook and built its own proprietary AI model for China with support from Alibaba.  

Apple worked with a Chinese partner because US models such as ChatGPT or Claude are not being made available there, though Chinese AI development doesn't seem to be held back by that lack. Apple and Alibaba have not commented on the claims, the report said.

The approach echoes Apple's work with Google to build more advanced large language models (LLMs) for use with Apple Intelligence, and the news will likely be seen as broadly positive by Chinese iPhone users. They can now look forward to working with Apple Intelligence on their devices. The proximity of the reporting suggests they may be able to access Apple's AI quite soon, once new Apple operating systems ship next month.

The silver lining It's also smart, as it means Apple has identified a way to introduce AI features in nations that are becoming protective of their tech stack.And while Apple's work with Google on Apple Intelligence was widely regarded as signifying how far behind the company had grown on AI, the work it is now doing with A

Cloudflare wants to provide the operating system for the AI-first enterprise
Traditional operating systems (OS) were built to manage hardware, files, apps, and users on a device, but Cloudflare says the agentic AI era requires a whole new format.

The company this week announced Cloudflare OS, which connects AI agents, enterprise data and context, internal systems, and workflows together in one secure workspace. It is open source and browser-based, sparing companies the need to build all-new infrastructure.

The OS is launching alongside several other new security, identity, spending, and user insight tools that Cloudflare has built for the AI-based workplace.

"Cloudflare OS isn't a traditional desktop OS," said Rita Kozlov, VP of product at Cloudflare. "It reimagines the workplace computing environment for AI."

Open source OS runs in a browser Cloudflare OS serves as a secure, AI-equipped workspace that is plugged into internal company systems. Available now through Cloudflare's open source repository, it is accessible directly in a browser, and runs inside an enterprise's Cloudflare account.

How AI is killing smartphone apps in China
Chinese smartphone makers have been followers in the global market, embracing the concepts and paradigms set in the past 20 years by Apple and Google. But AI may be giving the Chinese an opportunity to break away and set their own path forward. 

Specifically, Chinese companies are integrating AI more fully into smartphones, and also using AI for limited robotics in phones. Here's what you need to know about these emerging trends. 

China's ZTE recently showed its Nubia NaviX Ultra. The phone runs ByteDance's Doubao AI agent, which users can access with voice commands or by pressing a button on the phone. The phone has no home screen and no conventional app store.

Another Chinese company, called StepFun — it was founded in 2023 by Jiang Daxin, a former Microsoft vice president and chief scientist at Microsoft's Software Technology Center Asia — sells a phone called the StepX Neo. It runs a proprietary operating system called Step AOS based on Android, Linux, and an RTOS containing a built-in AI agent called Step Amoo. The StepX Neo splits phone functions into four primitives (communication, apps, files, system tools) that the agent recombines based on the stated goals of the user.

Google has used AI to patch 1,072 vulnerabilities in Chrome
Google has used AI tools to detect and patch 1,072 vulnerabilities in versions 149 and 150 of its Chrome browser, the company announced in a blog post.

That's more vulnerabilities patched than in the previous 23 updates combined, according to Bleeping Computer.

One vulnerability detected by AI had been present in Chrome for 13 years but, for some reason, had never been detected by Google's developers.

To further strengthen security, Google now plans to release new security patches for Chrome every week; down the road, it might even release two updates per week if needed.

Google's anti-search-scraping lawsuit dismissed
A court has dismissed Google's case against SerpApi over that company's scraping of search results to train AI models.

The US District Court for the Northern District of California found that there was no indication that any copyright had been breached.

Google announced in December that it was suing SerpApI for its alleged web scraping, claiming that it was protecting copyright holders. In February, SerpApI fought back and asked the court to dismiss Google's case. And this week, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers agreed with SerpApi that Google's case has no merit.

Google's argument was that SerpApi's actions breached the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA). It made two claims: first, that no person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title, and second that no person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, or component protected by the Act.

SerpApi claimed that the URLs and other links that were being served by Google did not in themselves entail copyright and the judge agreed. In h
