This year at WWDC, Apple announced it’s opening up access for any app to tap into the on-device large language model at the core of Apple Intelligence, giving developers direct access. It will “ignite a whole new wave of intelligence experiences” in the apps users frequent, per Apple, and it cuts out cloud API costs due to on-device access.
Right before WWDC 2025, Apple researchers published a paper called The Illusion of Thinking (PDF) that made waves. The researchers wrote that popular and buzzy AI models “face a complete accuracy collapse beyond certain complexities,” especially with things they’ve never seen before.
They presented models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepSeek with new and complex puzzle games and found their reasoning ability “increases with problem complexity up to a point, then declines.”
Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s co-founder and CEO, writes in The New York Times that though he understands the motivations behind the proposal, “a 10-year moratorium is far too blunt an instrument. A.I. is advancing too head-spinningly fast.”
He’s advocating for a federal transparency standard instead: “Without a clear plan for a federal response, a moratorium would give us the worst of both worlds — no ability for states to act, and no national policy as a backstop.”
Amazon MGM Studios is reportedly making a movie that will depict the rollercoaster couple of days in November 2023 when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was ousted by the board, then pulled an “Uno Reverse” and was re-hired, after which nearly all of the board members in question subsequently departed.
Luca Guadagnino is in talks to direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with Andrew Garfield in talks to play Sam Altman. Production could begin as soon as this summer, per the report, with filming locations in San Francisco and Italy.

OpenAI says it’s rolling out a “lightweight version” of the memory improvements it launched in April for paying customers to its free user tier. From now on, ChatGPT will reference both saved memories and recent conversations in chats.
