A few days ago, Google quietly released something that I think most people walked past without fully understanding what just happened. It is called Gemma 4 . ( https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/core/model_card_4 ) It is a family of small AI models — and the smallest one, the E2B, is just over 3 gigabytes. Roughly the size of a movie you download for a long flight. Moreover, it can interpret images and support 140 languages. That may not sound dramatic. But let me tell you wha

A few weeks ago, I wrote about an experiment — running AI locally on your own notebook to analyse spreadsheet data. The response from readers was clear: this is useful, but can you make it easier to use? So I did. Today I am releasing the Spreadsheet AI Analyzer as a proper Mac application. Not a Python script. Not a terminal command. A real .dmg file — drag it to your Applications folder, double-click, and start asking questions about your data in plain English. Why This Ma

For so many years, we used to dream of having a supercomputer on a single desk. Today, that dream isn’t futuristic — it’s our working reality . We are living through what I call the Desktop Renaissance , where the most advanced Artificial Intelligence doesn’t live in some distant cloud — it lives in your pocket and on your laptop.

Two AI stories this week look minor at first glance, but together they hint at much bigger changes in who wins and loses in the AI economy. Chinese‑built AI models now account for about 61% of all usage (measured in “tokens”) on OpenRouter , a major platform where developers can choose among many AI models through one API. DeepSeek , a fast‑growing Chinese AI startup, is expected to launch DeepSeek V4 , a new model focused on coding — aiming directly at one of the most valua
