Apple (AAPL) Targets Spring 2026 for Release of Delayed Siri AI Upgrade – Bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-12/apple-targets-spring-2026-for-release-of-delayed-siri-ai-upgrade?srnd=undefined&sref=9hGJlFio&embedded-checkout=true

Apple doesn’t report benchmarks for their AIs, reporting on an ill-documented head-to-head evaluation But even by their standards, Apple’s latest on device models are mostly worse than the open Gemma 3-4B from Google or Qwen 3-4B And their server LLM is similar to Llama 4 Scout https://x.com/emollick/status/1932420903515590997

The update to Personas looks so impressive that they should’ve dedicated a few more minutes on this alone. This deserved more. https://x.com/chrisoffner3d/status/1932158766314893719

As much as people are hating on the Liquid Glass design, I think there is potential here. Studies already show that monochrome UI leads to less addictive habits, for example. Making it look a bit more dull might be a feature. https://x.com/zachtratar/status/1932175553903333476

Apple’s “spatial scenes” remind me of Facebook 3d photos from 2018. Take any photo and use AI to give it real depth and parallax. Glad Apple is starting to think beyond stereo photo/video for the Vision Pro; 6dof media needs to be a first class citizen. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1932286185285750791

I am a graphics programmer, and here’s my feedback on Apple’s Liquid Glass beta. The idea is cool, but it’s difficult to work with from a UX perspective. Let’s start with the main problems: 1 – Low Contrast: It’s clearly not readable, but there are many different ways to fix it. https://x.com/XorDev/status/1932429551256101328

Interesting to see Apple double down on conventional UIs while ignoring AI when the goal of the big AI firms is to make it so that you just talk to AI to get whatever you want done, without touching a UI.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1932225668487463374

Every call I have had this week has had someone ask a question about the Apple paper. I think its worth reflecting on why any time a “”AI must fail”” paper comes out (also: model collapse), it gets a lot of buzz & why the many “”AI does this well”” papers don’t.

I don’t even agree with the Apple paper but this is an extremely midwit take https://x.com/iScienceLuvr/status/1931877956257005904

I think the Apple paper on the limits of reasoning models in particular tests is useful & important, but the “LLMs are hitting a wall” narrative on X around it feels premature at best.

The “”reasoning doesn’t exist”” Apple paper drives me crazy. Take logic puzzle like Tower of Hanoi w/ 10s to 1000000s of moves to solve correctly. Check first step where an LLM makes mistake. Long problems aren’t solved. Fewer thought tokens/early mistakes on longer problems. 1/11 https://x.com/Afinetheorem/status/1931853801293484358

BREAKING: Apple just proved AI “”reasoning”” models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don’t actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well. Here’s what Apple discovered: (hint: we’re not as close to AGI as the hype suggests) https://x.com/RubenHssd/status/1931389580105925115
