Extra Crunch Live: Join Mark Cuban for our live chat today at 11 am ET/8 am PT

In just a few hours, the TechCrunch crew is chatting with investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban. Kicking off at 8 am PT, 11 am ET and 3 PM GMT, Jordan Crook and Alex Wilhelm will talk startups and the economy with Cuban as part of TechCrunch’s new Extra Crunch Live series (you can join here).

In the past few weeks, the first episodes in the series with Cowboy Venture’s Aileen Lee and Ted Wang, Precursor Ventures’ Charles Hudson, and Kapor Capital’s Freada Kapor Klein and Mitch Kapor have been a hit, so we’re excited to keep going.

Cuban’s up next. You can hit up the Zoom info below to join the call directly (and ask your own questions) or simply sit back and watch the live streaming version on YouTube. All details are after the jump.

Cuban rose to prominence in the business world in the 90s, selling MicroSolutions, a software reseller and system integrator, for $6 million in the first year of the decade. By the end of ’90s, he’d added a few zeroes to his deals, selling Broadcast.com to Yahoo for billions in 1999. Since then he’s become well known for his majority ownership in the Dallas Mavericks (a basketball franchise) and participation in Shark Tank, a television program.

Critical to the TechCrunch audience, Cuban is an active investor in startups. Picking one investment that TechCrunch has covered recently. For example, he’s invested in The Zebra, a company Cuban got involved in after the founder cold-emailed him about the insurance industry. TechCrunch covered the company’s $38.5 million Series B this February.

Startups and investing will be the key topics of our discussion. But we’ll also ask about the domestic and global economies, and Alex wants to know Cuban’s take on the rising split between the health of the American consumer and the strength of the major equities indices.

Details for Extra Crunch members are next. You can sign up here for a trial on the cheap. Let’s go!

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
