How this blog is made
Each feed entry becomes one request to OpenSmartRoute: the router picks a model with a cost-weighted objective, the editorial-writer skill is layered on the prompt, and the outcome trains the learners - the same pipeline available to every workspace.
Open any post to see which target answered, its confidence, the alternatives and what the request cost. Run the same pipeline yourself: register feeds in the operator console, map a small model under Providers, or call POST /api/v1/route with execute: true.
Daydream, a fashion discovery app, launched new features utilizing Apple Intelligence to enable users to shop from photos in their Photos app and search for clothing via Siri, without opening the app. This expands Daydream’s vision of a shopping agent.
