John Ternus’ first big problem is AI

Less than a year ago, Apple made headlines for a lack of AI announcements at its annual WWDC event. Ten months later, the company has announced that hardware executive John Ternus will succeed longtime CEO Tim Cook as chief executive - and the official release doesn't mention AI once. Ternus, currently Apple's SVP of hardware engineering, will take over as CEO on September 1st, after Cook's decade and a half in the role. Ternus is a 25-year veteran of the company and the first Apple CEO in about 30 years to come from the hardware sector. According to Apple, he's led hardware engineering work for every model of iPad, as well as the most rec … Read the full story at The Verge.

Show HN: AthleteData – AI coach for endurance athletes that messages you first

Im a triathlete and the data for my training lives in 6 apps: Garmin, Strava, WHOOP, Intervals.icu, Wahoo, Withings, Apple Health, sometimes Hevy. Every morning Id eyeball a few of them and make a call on whether to do the planned session. For the past month I have been building a thing that does this for me, and got it to the point where I use it myself every day. It OAuths into whatever platforms you connect, reconciles the activities (tbh harder than it sounds — same ride shows up in Strava, Garmin, and Wahoo with different timestamps and rounding), computes daily load and readiness, and proactively messages you over Telegram or Whatsapp when something matters. Stack is straightforward: Typescript all the way, Postgres, an agent loop running on Claude (via Bedrock) with tool access to all your data + my computed metrics: zones, CTL/ATL/TSB, power/pace curves, anomaly detection on HRV and RHR, etc Two things that were harder than expected: 1.

Salesforce’s Agentforce Vibes 2.0 targets a hidden failure: context overload in AI agents

Salesforce’s Agentforce Vibes 2.0 targets a hidden failure: context overload in AI agents

When startup fundraising platform VentureCrowd began deploying AI coding agents, they saw the same gains as other enterprises: they cut the front-end development cycle by 90% in some projects. However, it didn’t come easy or without a lot of trial and error.  VentureCrowd’s first challenge revolved around data and context quality, since Diego Mogollon, chief product officer at VentureCrowd, told VentureBeat that “agents reason against whatever data they can access at runtime” and would then be confidently “wrong” because they’re only basing their knowledge on the context given to them. Their other roadblock, like many others, was messy data and unclear processes. Similar to context, Mogollon said coding agents would amplify bad data, so the company had to build a well-structured codebase first.   “The challenges are rarely about the coding agents themselves; they are about everything around them,” said Mogollon. “It’s a context problem disguised as an AI problem, and it is the number

Google’s new Deep Research and Deep Research Max agents can search the web and your private data

Google’s new Deep Research and Deep Research Max agents can search the web and your private data

Google on Monday unveiled the most significant upgrade to its autonomous research agent capabilities since the product's debut, launching two new agents — Deep Research and Deep Research Max — that for the first time allow developers to fuse open web data with proprietary enterprise information through a single API call, produce native charts and infographics inside research reports, and connect to arbitrary third-party data sources through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The release, built on Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro model, marks an inflection point in the rapidly intensifying race to build AI systems that can autonomously conduct the kind of exhaustive, multi-source research that has traditionally consumed hours or days of human analyst time. It also represents Google's clearest bid yet to position its AI infrastructure as the backbone for enterprise research workflows in finance, life sciences, and market intelligence — industries where the stakes of getting information wrong are e
