@mattgemmell I took such a instant dislike to Liquid Glass that I ordered an Android phone within a week and I'm now trying it out as my main device. I'm an iOS developer by trade, and have been for over 13 years (and an Apple user for a lot longer). Completely agree with your assessment.

Apple Details Its AI Foundation Models and Applebot Web Scraping

From Apple’s Machine Learning Research1 blog: Our foundation models are trained on Apple’s AXLearn framework, an open-source project we released in 2023. It builds on top of JAX and XLA, and allows us to train the models with high efficiency and scalability on various training hardware and cloud platforms, including TPUs and both cloud and
