Apple has now patched all six zero-days in iOS 26.3. Between 220 and 270 million iPhones were estimated to be exposed. Update now.
- iPhone 17 Pro Runs a 400B Model Locally. Here's What That Actually Means.
The iPhone 17 Pro has been demonstrated running a 400B parameter model locally via storage-as-RAM paging at 0.6 tokens per second. That speed makes it useless for production work today -- but the architectural threshold it crosses matters.

Dan Woods streamed a 209GB MoE model from SSD on a 48GB MacBook Pro and got 5-5.7 tokens per second. The key insight: memory constraints on local inference are about active parameters, not total ones. MoE architecture changes the math entirely.
