ExecuTorch is the PyTorch inference framework for edge devices developed by Meta with support from industry leaders like Arm, Apple, and Qualcomm.  Running machine learning (ML) models on-device is increasingly important for Meta’s family of apps (FoA). These on-device models improve latency, maintain user privacy by keeping data on users’ devices, and enable offline functionality. We’re showcasing some of the on-device AI features, powered by ExecuTorch, that are serving billions of people on Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook. These rollouts have significantly improved the performance and efficiency of on-device ML models in Meta’s FoA and eased the research to production path. Over the past year, we’ve rolled out ExecuTorch , an open-source solution for on-device inference on mobile and edge devices, across our family of apps (FoA) and seen significant improvements in model performance, privacy enhancement, and latency over our previous on-device machine learning (ML) stack. ExecuTorch was built in collaboration with industry leaders and uses PyTorch 2.x technologies to convert models into a stable and compact representation for efficient on-device deployment. Its compact runtime, modularity, and extensibility make it easy for developers to choose and customize components – ensuring portability across platforms, compatibility with PyTorch, and high performance.

WhatsApp was supposed to be blocked in Russia by July 1, but propagandist Anastasia Kashevarova claims the deadline was pushed back to August 1 due to “defenders and lobbyists” among Russian officials. Rumors that Russia will soon ban WhatsApp have added pressure to the Meta-owned platform following official warnings from lawmakers. Deputy State Duma Information Policy Committee Chairman Anton Gorelkin warned July 18 that WhatsApp should “prepare to leave the Russian market,” while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized the platform must comply with Russian laws However, State Duma Information Policy Committee head Sergey Boyarsky told Gazeta.ru that Kashevarova’s August 1 deadline was “another ridiculous rumor.” WhatsApp’s potential ban stems from President Vladimir Putin’s July 17 directive ordering restrictions on software from “unfriendly countries.” Russia has already designated Meta as an extremist organization and banned Facebook and Instagram in 2022. The government is currently developing Max, a domestic messaging alternative, to replace foreign platforms, including WhatsApp. Sources close to Putin’s administration told Meduza that there’s a “99-percent chance“ that WhatsApp will be blocked, although authorities have provided no official confirmation or timeline. ‘There’s a 99-percent chance it will happen’ Meduza’s Kremlin sources say Russia is poised to ban WhatsApp in a bid to quell discontent ‘There’s a 99-percent chance it will happen’ Meduza’s Kremlin sources say Russia is poised to ban WhatsApp in a bid to quell discontent

WhatsApp messenger has begun testing a new feature that will allow users to import their profile photos directly from Instagram social network, according to WABetaInfo portal, which discovered the innovation in the beta version of the Android app. Currently, to set a profile photo in WhatsApp, you can take a picture with the camera, select an image from the gallery, or generate it using AI. The new feature will add two more options: import from Facebook and import from Instagram. The developers emphasize that the feature will be optional and disabled by default. To use it, you will need to link accounts through the "Meta Account Center" (recognized as extremist and banned in Russia). It is claimed that this step will not affect end-to-end encryption and other aspects of messaging privacy in WhatsApp. The new capability was spotted in the WhatsApp beta for Android with build number 2.25.21.23 and is already available to a limited number of testers. The timeline for its appearance in the stable version for all users has not yet been announced.

"If you fail, you know you're going to have to keep paying" "It was double the cost. They know how desperate people are, don't they?" For learner drivers eager to pass their practical tests, managing to nab an appointment feels like an ever-growing headache. But dodgy driving test sellers are now 'exploiting' learner drivers and flogging appointments for more than double their usual price amid the country-wide backlog, the Manchester Evening News has found. In May, the UK's driving test backlog reached a new high, with 631,472 future practical driving tests booked as of the end of the month, according to official Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) figures. Analysis by the AA Driving School showed the average waiting time was 20 weeks in February.

Car practical test waiting times remain high due to 'sustained increased demand' and 'reduced learner driver confidence' in the availability of driving tests, the DVSA said. This has contributed to a

Nash Keen preemie baby submitted by University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Childrens Hospital The Iowa boy who was named by Guinness World Records as the world’s most premature baby has beat “impossible” odds to reach his first birthday. Born at just 21 weeks gestation – a staggering 133 days early – Nash Keen is now all giggles, said his parents Randall and Mollie Keen. In early 2024, just six months after suffering a miscarriage, the childless couple happily discovered Mollie was pregnant again. “When we went to our doctor’s office for the 20-week scan, I had some concerns about how I was feeling so I asked them to look at me closer—which they normally don’t do at that appointment—and they found I was already two centimeters dilated.” It was an expectant parent’s nightmare: Waiting in a hospital room for days surrounded by doctors and nurses, hoping their baby wouldn’t be born too early. The couple learned that the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at University of Iowa Health Care’s Children’s Hospital had recently started performing lifesaving measures on babies born at 21 weeks gestation.
