主流開發平台 iOS 套件全球故障，平台方未更新狀態頁Mainstream development platform iOS kits are failing worldwide, and the platform has not updated the status page
The Pragmatic Engineer 週報報道，一個主流開發平台嘅 iOS 開發套件喺後端改動後崩潰，連累所有使用佢嘅應用程式，故障持續兩至六個鐘。平台方既未更新狀態頁，事後亦無交代調查結果。同期週報指企業模型支出有六成流向開放權重模型。The Pragmatic Engineer weekly report stated that an iOS development kit of a mainstream development platform crashed after backend changes, affecting all applications that used it, with the outage lasting two to six hours. The platform did not update the status page, and no investigation results were provided afterwards. The same weekly report indicated that 60% of enterprise model spending went to open weight models.

Today, we cover:
- Firebase: global outage & poor handling by Google. The Firebase iOS SDK crashed after a backend change, crashing all apps which used Firebase analytics for 2-6 hours. Google did not update the status page or offer any postmortem, which is a head-scratcher from a company known for standout incident management practices.
- OpenAI’s platform play from AWS playbook? OpenAI is becoming a platform where it’s possible to allocate ChatGPT spend on open models and AI offerings from among 16 partners, not just OpenAI models. It’s fair to ask if Anthropic will consider a similar platform play.
- More data on companies moving to open models. Vercel’s AI gateway shows 60% of model spend goes to open weight models, and OpenRouter also shows open models are being more used than closed ones.
- Why CTOs and VPEs are quitting en masse: another take. What if it’s not “founder mode”, but about people who love building software, feeling like they can do it solo (or with a small team) with AI tools?

- OpenAI的AWS操作手册中的平台策略？OpenAI正在成为一个平台，可以在16个合作伙伴的开放模型和AI产品中分配ChatGPT支出，而不仅限于OpenAI模型。有理由问Anthropic是否会考虑类似的平台策略。
