New: a Research section. Today has a Research chip with the day's most discussed AI papers: authors, the abstract, a plain-language summary written on your device, and buttons to open the paper or its PDF. Papers stay out of the news mood, map and brief, and the Ask tab can answer questions about them. Stories behind a paywall now say so plainly and show the headline and summary instead of an error. Everything still runs on your device, and nothing you read or ask leaves it.

Ask now answers "which countries are covered the most" from the real counts behind the map, and says plainly when the paper has nothing directly on a question. Timeline entries the paper adds on its own now carry their pictures. Articles open with their lead picture and read more cleanly, with sign-up icons and tracking pixels gone. Stories in other languages further down the paper are fetched and translated ahead of time, so they open faster, and "KI" and "IA" now read as "AI" in English. Everything still runs on your device, and nothing you read or ask leaves it.

The Ask tab now has its icon. Foreign-language articles no longer sit on a loading screen or report that they could not be loaded while they are being translated: you see the article as filed with a progress banner, and it turns to English when ready, without losing your place. Sign-up icons that publishers leave in articles are gone. The paper no longer stutters while it translates in the background, and the model steps aside while you scroll. Everything still runs on your device, and nothing you read or ask leaves it.

Translation, reading and chat all got faster and cleaner. Headlines from foreign-language desks now translate far more reliably and show up sooner. Articles open without the newsletter boxes, "Also read" lines, affiliate notices and promo links publishers leave in the text. The feed scrolls more smoothly. Ask answers more quickly, and it no longer supplies names that were not in the stories it read. Everything still runs on your device, and nothing you read or ask leaves it.

The paper now carries its own newsroom model, running entirely on your device. It translates coverage from nine languages as it arrives, writes the morning brief in full sentences, picks the front page for you and says why, keeps the AGI index current from six weeks of coverage, judges which developments belong on the history timeline, and answers your questions in the new Ask tab, showing the stories it read. Nothing you read or ask ever leaves your device. On iPhones with less than 6 GB of memory the model stays off and the paper works as before.

The rest of the world is covering AI too. Newsrooms writing in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese now come in beside the rest, translated on your device: headlines, summaries and the articles themselves, with the original one tap away. Pick the language you read in and the rest is turned into it. It asks before downloading a language and shows which are on your device. Sentiment gains a map. Every country is drawn at its own size and colored by how its coverage reads, so none of them covers another. Press one to read what it filed. Stories locked behind a paywall are left out, so a headline you can open is a headline you can read. Fetching and translating an article now shows how far along it is. The watch reads the whole article now, not the headline, keeps playing when your wrist drops, and can be turned up with the crown. Every story on the front page says why it is AI news, and stories several outlets ran say how many. And it is quicker. Translations arriving in the background no longer make the paper stutter while you read it, and changing your reading language happens at once instead of pausing.

iPad, rebuilt as a front page. The strongest story runs wide across the top and the rest sets in columns, two to four of them depending on how you are holding it, so both orientations read like a newspaper rather than one narrow column of cards. Apple Watch. For You on your wrist, with articles read aloud. It works without your iPhone nearby: the watch fetches headlines and pulls full articles over its own connection, and only asks the phone when it has no signal of its own. Articles open fuller. The reader used to grab a page the instant it had any text, which on slower sites meant a story that looked half empty. Stories behind a paywall now say so, with the headline, the summary, and a way through to the publisher's own page, instead of opening as a page with nothing on it. Pages built around a video open as themselves, so the video plays. Search puts headline matches first, and a result found in the body of an article tells you so and shows the line it matched. Reader appearance is yours: newsprint, white, sepia, dark or black, in Settings or from the menu while you are reading. Newsprint follows your device. When several outlets run the same story, the feed now shows it once and says how many others carried it, instead of printing the same announcement a dozen times. Every tab, chip and search starts at the top instead of wherever you last left it scrolled. The daily briefing is a real brief: it gathers the day into threads, so nine write-ups of one announcement arrive as one line. Alerts open the story they are about. The AGI index and the history timeline now move between updates, using the coverage the app has read. For You and the sentiment ratings keep learning: your corrections outrank the model, interests fade over time rather than by tap count, and the feed no longer fills up with one subject. The acceleration page gains a section on what used to cushion technological shocks and why all three cushions are under pressure at once.
