GCSE results will be available online this summer Just now Share Save Vanessa Clarke Education reporter Share Save Getty Images GCSE students across England will be able to view their exams results on their phones for the first time in August. An "education record" app, trialled with 95,000 pupils in Manchester and the West Midlands last summer, will initially download the results - and also allow Year 11 students to then store a digital record of those results for future use, such as when applying for jobs or further education. However students will still be encouraged to go into school on results day to receive "advice or support", headteachers say. One incentive to do so is that while the traditional brown envelopes containing the much-anticipated grades will still be available to collect in person from 08:00 on results day, the new app will not get its update until 11:00. The app will also hold information for schools and colleges on whether students have special educational needs and disabilities, or are eligible for free school meals. The Department for Education estimates the rollout could save schools and colleges up to £30m a year in administrative costs because of the costs and time currently involved in sharing information that now every teenager will be able to show on request at subsequent stages in their education. "No student should have to rifle through drawers looking for a crumpled certificate when they're preparing for a job interview," Skills Minister Baroness Jacqui Smith said. "This app will give young people instant access to their results whenever they need them while freeing up teachers and college staff from unnecessary paperwork." Schools are being encouraged to sign up so pupils can download and set up the app before the summer results day. Department for Education Students can keep the digital record of their results for future use.

(RTTNews) - Apple Inc. and JPMorgan Chase announced that Chase will become the new issuer of Apple Card, replacing Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The transition is expected to take place over approximately 24 months, subject to regulatory approvals. During this period, Apple Card users will continue to use their cards as normal, with Mastercard remaining the payment network. Apple emphasized that users will retain the Apple Card experience, including up to 3 percent unlimited Daily Cash back on purchases, easy-to-navigate spending tools, Apple Card Family, access to a high-yield Savings account, and more. With Apple Card Family, users can share an account with members of their Family Sharing group. Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) will also remain available, allowing customers to pay for new Apple products over time, interest-free. The agreement between Apple and Chase is expected to transfer over $20 billion of card balances to the Chase platform. JPMorgan Chase anticipates recognizing a $2.2 billion provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2025 related to the forward purchase commitment. Apple Card is currently issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch, and is subject to credit approval for qualifying applicants in the United States.

格隆汇1月8日｜据LatePost，1月8日智谱上市当天，清华大学计算机系教授、智谱创立发起人兼首席科学家唐杰发布内部信，宣布很快将推出新一代模型GLM-5。唐杰说，今天是“智谱生命中激动人心的一天”。他没有直接回应大模型公司的商业模式争议或给出智谱2026年商业化目标，但强调，真正“有人用”，能帮到更多的人的理论、技术或产品才是智谱在追逐AGI路上的重要成就。内部信表示，智谱2025年如期完成了年初定下的战略，即4月发一个“稳住阵脚”的模型、年中发一个“上牌桌”的模型（成为one of the best）、年底发一个Top1的模型。这种全面回归基础模型研究的战略是智谱对DeepSeek冲击的回应。
