The Latest AI Developments
Apple’s big Siri overhaul has slipped again, according to new reports. The update was supposed to bring ChatGPT-level conversational abilities, but Apple keeps pushing the timeline. It’s a reminder of just how hard reliable assistant work is at scale. Meanwhile, everyone else keeps shipping.
Meta rolled out a feature called “Dear Algo” on Threads. Type what you want to see more or less of, and the algorithm adjusts for a limited time. It’s preference tuning as a first-class UI control, not buried in settings. Simple idea, but it makes the black box a little less black.
ElevenLabs just shipped Expressive Mode for their voice agents, and it’s a big deal for anyone building conversational AI. The new TTS model handles tone shifts and emotional range in real time, while improved turn-taking makes conversations feel less like talking to a robot.
