How Far Can On-Device Inference Stay Free? Measuring the Line Between Foundation Models and Gemini
WWDC 2026 widened Apple Foundation Models' free tier, making on-device inference easier to reach for. But 'free, so everything on-device' hits cases where quality falls short. Here is how to decide the range you hold on-device and the range you pass to cloud Gemini by measurement, not guesswork.
When Managed Agents Run in the Cloud, How Do You Hand Them Credentials?
The Antigravity 2.0 Managed Agents API runs agents in the cloud, away from your machine. Convenient, but the credential handling that was trivial on your own laptop suddenly gets hard. Here is a design for not handing over long-lived tokens, but issuing them per run and expiring them quickly.
