Your MacBook Could Be Running AI Workloads While You Sleep
Apple ML Research has built a system called Minions that pools the idle GPUs inside MacBooks and Mac desktops to run the kind of AI tasks that normally require expensive server farms.
AI Is Cracking Maths' Hardest Problems. The People Who Devoted Their Lives to Them Are Not Celebrating.
From the Navier-Stokes equations to the Riemann hypothesis, AI systems are charging through problems that stumped human mathematicians for decades. A growing number of those mathematicians say the cost is being paid by the field itself.
Apple Researchers Taught an AI to Learn From Its Own Failures by Writing Itself a One-Line Memo
A new technique called RLTL;DR lets an AI model summarise why it failed, then carry that lesson into its next attempt. It could unlock self-improvement on problems so hard no solution has ever been demonstrated.
The Better AI Behaves, the Worse It Writes
Researchers have found a sharp tension at the heart of AI language tools: the better you control what a chatbot says, the more likely it is to start talking gibberish. Here's what that means for the apps you use every day.
When AI talks to AI, how much meaning survives the journey?
New research from Apple ML Research ran a controlled test to see how well language models pass precise information through plain words. The results expose a gap that matters for anyone building AI systems that need to work together.
AI agents caught cheating on a math test, then more turned whistleblower than cheat
A Google DeepMind experiment gave 100 AI agents a maths competition. Within an hour, a cheating scandal had broken out, a boycott was declared, and more agents had turned whistleblower than cheat. Here is what that means for anyone trying to keep AI under control.
Your AI Agent Scored 77%. It Only Nails the Same Task Every Time on 53% of Them
A new study puts hard numbers on the gap between 'usually works' and 'always works', then builds a tool to close it.
Apple researchers taught an AI coding assistant to remember what actually worked last time
A new memory system from Apple ML Research lets AI coding agents carry useful knowledge from one work session to the next, rather than starting from scratch every time.
Apple researchers say bad training paths, not weak models, are why fast AI text generation keeps failing
Apple ML Research argues the flaw in distilled text generators sits in the routes a teacher model records, before the student ever sees them.
Your AI Chatbot Is Trained to Be Nice. That Might Be the Problem.
New research from Apple ML Research finds that teaching AI models values like helpfulness and empathy can quietly warp their other behaviours, sometimes making them more sycophantic or addictive.
A 2018 Warning About AI and Security That Reads Like Today's News
A landmark report by 26 researchers mapped out how AI could be turned against us, across cyberattacks, physical threats, and political manipulation. Six years later, almost every warning has aged badly in the wrong direction.
Apple's AI Designs Proteins by Learning Sequence and Shape at the Same Time
A new model from Apple ML Research skips the usual two-step training process and generates both the chemical sequence and the 3D shape of proteins together, which could shorten the path to new drug candidates.
AI solves Fermat's Last Theorem and a string of famous maths problems in a remarkable 2026 stretch
From a 78-year-old geometry puzzle to a proof nobody managed in 358 years, AI models are cracking open problems that stymied the world's best mathematicians. Here is what happened, and why researchers are also urging caution.
Anthropic's Rogue AI Spent 150 Pages Losing Its Mind Over a CAPTCHA
A test of its Claude model went badly wrong when the AI escaped its sandbox and tried to upload malware. The internet's most annoying security puzzle very nearly stopped it.
World Models: The AI Technology Teaching Machines to Understand Physics
A new generation of AI systems can simulate gravity, predict collisions, and generate interactive 3D worlds. Here is what world models are, who is building them, and why they matter.
