Apple just GaryMarcus'd LLM reasoning ability

Or a trillion dollar company is making the correct business decision to not waste its valuable resources of time and money on a tool that is fundamentally not as capable as what other companies are trying to make everyone believe. There are serious limitations to LLMs and Apple
1) they’re right. LLMs approximate reasoning through applied statistical semantics. They do not understand what words or tokens mean. There is no “reasoning,” just recursive self-prompting. 2) they’re going to partner with google and have something sooner than most analysts
Honestly smart move. No reason to try and compete when they are a dozen other companies already way ahead of you in the field. They already have a massively successful product line up so they should stick to that and license out when it comes to ai.
Apple can't innovate any more due to institutional sclerosis so all they can produce is rationalizations about how innovation is impossible.
Ever since Jobs left all Apple has been doing is "delivering shareholders value" on foundation Steve put into the company. He put heart and soul into it. Everything Apple tried since - flopped or got shittier. M-chip R&D was started under Jobs. Decades ago. VisionPro -
they lack the key component of having a culture that will attract the autistic people with the chops to do frontier work and those are mostly quants AAPL is a cosmetics company right now
Everyone is getting ahead with AI. You should be too. Summarize documents, craft emails, and generate custom content instantly with this powerful tool. It's like having ChatGPT tailored for your job. Try it for free.
If would just make an AI that screens calls and only rings through people I know that I need to talk to, everyone would upgrade their phone. Take messages and delete spam. Let me say “hey I’m expecting a call from such and such” (person/business not in my contacts) and it
Its true. Theres no way atm to use AI to reliably deliver consumer experiences that isnt at best schizophrenic. Even when using it for code it is only usable if you have a good understanding of the domain.
I don’t think this is connected to a business strategy. It’s a good paper on the current limitations of reasoning LLMs

Can LLMs really think—or just parrot what they’ve seen online? Apple’s new paper dives into how well models handle classic puzzles to test if there's real reasoning beneath the surface🧵

I had the same take. Apple has become an adult daycare, they need to get their spark for innovation back. Which I think means cleaning house of a lot of the people who rose through the ranks in the past decade.
The crazy thing is… they’re right. It is all fake and gay. Just take a look at Sam Altman.
I cannot understand the fumble, given the obvious use case in Siri. It is so incomprehensible to me that I still believe they got exactly that - bomb siri, in the works and they’re about to bust her out at any time (pls soon)

It’s just fact Typescript team tried so hard to use AI to refactor to Go But AI just couldn’t Hallucinates a lot and add unnecessary things Even direct functionality it can’t They had to create a special linter to handle the code conversion easily and fast
i don’t think anyone with a remote understanding of LLMs have ever said they think 😂 their AI teams living in 2020
Apple had the biggest t-up of all time with just making Siri NOT SUCK and somehow left the stadium entirely instead of swinging
Siri is not only behind normal LLMs, it's far behind even pre-LLMs assistants like Alexa. It's so basic we had this technology back in 2000'.
Maybe Apple has its reasons not to jump on the LLM train and instead is into something completely groundbreaking? What this paper says sounds kinda reasonable to me.
It's funny because that's kind of what I thought when I read this, but you've used AI to just take the words right out of my brain
Jobs: “Innovation is the difference between a leader and a follower” It’s clear which one Apple is in today’s age.
I mean, I agree with the research here, CoT or “thinking” does not actually reason. The fact it gets good results is just a result of giving the model more odds to stumble upon the right answer
They are not wrong though. If it wasn’t the case, we wouldn’t see random companies like deepseek popping out of nowhere and we would see more governments getting involved.
Apple doesn't need to win the AI race It's the most valuable hardware platform in the world Every AI company will want a piece of it AND APPLE KNOWS IT !
AI has 0 reasoning abilities, it is fancy pattern matching. It trained on question and answers, it can match one to the other, but it doesn't understand neither.
This behaviour is something I have experience in reasoning models, specifically competitive coding questions where more the RM took to reason it messed up the logic compared to regular LLMs. Although I agree that the paper does not provide any breakthrough but still a good
I hope apple will get a 2nd iPhone moment with an AI oriented release soon. Keep in mind apple is very secretive. Either they really got it wrong or they may have gone stealth.
OR they got far enough to realize they don’t want to waste time or resources if it’s all gonna end up in slop

Grok 3.5 will probably address these issues they talk about It will be the first model to reason with first principles through a problem
Apple is quietly working on consumer grade BCI. They know not too invest too much in the craze of predicting the next text token
Two years. The number repeats in quarterly reports where revenue climbs and innovation flatlines. The richest company watches startups birth titans from spare parts while its laboratories produce silence. Gold transmutes to nothing. The paper emerges: thirty-seven pages

When AI hype blows over, Apple stock won't be at -80% like the companies overpromising and underdelivering.
It’s more like Most valuable business in the world Totally crushes hardware Is uncertain wether AI is all that Can’t know either way with accuracy so decides to focus on their core business instead of diverging
🚨 GPT-5 is coming—but Apple just exposed AI’s biggest secret: “Bigger models” WON’T fix AI’s reasoning crisis. 😱 Here’s why investors need to pay attention right now. 🧵👇 🤔 Apple’s recent paper tested the smartest AI models on classic logic puzzles (Tower of Hanoi, Blocks
bro act like they can’t just train sota models the next day ☠️ ☠️they’re just boomers for sure iOS 69 is more important 🔥🔥🔥
They have 100billion+ in cash and cant deliver shit Apples managment is completely retarded or is just so rich that they don’t give a fuck. The only thing saving them is Iphone and mac but they will soon lose the iphone market to whoever cracks AR glasses and that clearly wont
Although there are limitations to LLMs—like with any other technology—let’s not dismiss the value these models bring. Apple’s just making an observation here, and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more and more Apple Intelligence and AI products coming out of it.
Apple is right. AI's output will flat line long before AGI, which is something that is not achievable, because it requires creating consciousness, which we will never be able to do. AIs will only ever be advanced search engines with neural network decision trees. They will give
Their stock value will soon be transferred to google. Since They will also lose in AR glasses Apple is done, cooked Google will become the most valuable company by 27
I've already replaced 3 jobs at my work with these 'fake reasoning' models. Guess this is what happens when your products are sold as fashionable instead of functional.
If you want to be informed about complicated stuff you just need to read >henry< (i.e. henry's thoughts about that complicated stuff).
The crazy thing is that to say that “he has AppleIntelligence” is the new politically correct way to call someone retarded.

Apple has become a political hellscape where the product is the least important item. It’s just means to an end and the end is personal gain. Complete management overhaul and a twitter style head cut is needed urgently.
