Google launches a “vibe design” partner

Google has released their latest product in the AI coding space. Stitch helps you rapidly create, iterate and duplicate your UI through communicating with controls and AI.
There is also the ability to use ready made templates which include a health dashboard, entertainment app and a fashion catalogue.
Some people love it, some hate it.
Those who love it have been praising Stitch’s ability to transform sketches into a real prototype and it’s huge array of controls which allow users to change, font, theme, text size and 50+ other variables.
This post here shows Stitch making a really cool website from a sketch.

Stitch turning a sketch into a prototype.
Those who hate it say that Stitch still produces the same “AI slop” that we have all been accustomed to hate (purple gradient, weird fonts, uncropped images).
This post here compares “Stitch vs Claude vs Human”.

Did Composer 2 Just Beat Everyone?

Cursor has released their latest AI coding model, called Composer 2.
Now, the benchmarks look extremely impressive. it ranks higher in intelligence against Opus and Gemini whilst being cheaper than all of the current SOTA models. Yet, should we blindly believe the benchmarks?
Just minutes after Composer 2 released a shocking truth came out.
Composer 2 seems to just be a fine-tuned version of Kimi 2.5.
Fine-tuning a model means taking a pre-trained AI model and training it further on a smaller, specific dataset so it performs better on a particular task. Instead of learning from scratch, it adapts its existing knowledge to specialize.
So Composer 2 is just a specialized version of a model that was released in January…

The BIGGEST Bottleneck in Vibe Coding

Nowadays, you can build a beautiful iOS app in under an hour.
Yet, it can take months to reach the App Store.
The biggest bottleneck in AI coding isn’t the code anymore but instead the bureaucracy. Long gone are the days where everyone is waiting on software engineers to ship.
Recently, Apple has quietly halted App Store updates for popular text-to-app platforms, most notably the $9 billion startup Replit and mobile app builder Vibecode.

After months of pushback, Apple is reportedly demanding major UX changes.
Replit is being asked to force its generated app previews to open in an external web browser rather than natively inside its app.
Vibecode was told it must completely remove the ability to generate software specifically for Apple devices.
Ambiguous choices by Apple. Surely they should be encouraging vibe coders to be publishing apps to the App Store?
Anyways, what is clear is that publishing your app on more decentralized network (the internet) is, as of now, more straightforward.
the timeline





Until next time!
