Repairing that was one of the primary objectives of the new windowing system. ... Fixing that was among the main goals of the brand-new windowing system. We chose this time: make whatever we can provide, said Federighi, even if it has some subtleties on older hardware, because we saw so much demand [for Stage Manager] That slight modification in technique, combined with other behind-the-scenes optimizations, makes the brand-new multitasking model more widely compatible than Stage Manager is. There are still limits on those devicesnot to the variety of windows you can open, however to how many of those windows can be active and current at once. And real multi-monitor assistance would stay the purview of the much faster, more-expensive designs. We have found numerous, lots of optimizations, Federighi stated. We re-architected our windowing system and we re-architected the way that we handle background tasks, background processing, that enabled us to squeeze more out of other devices than we had the ability to do at the time we introduced Stage Manager. Stage Manager still exists in iPadOS 26, but as an optional additional multitasking mode that you need to choose to enable instead of the brand-new windowed multitasking system. You can also pick to turn both multitasking systems off entirely, preserving the iPad's traditional big-iPhone-for-watching-Netflix interface for individuals who prefer it. The $349 base-model iPad is one that stands to gain the most from iPadOS 26. Credit: Andrew Cunningham However, while the brand-new iPadOS 26 UI takes huge actions toward the Mac's user interface, the company still attempts to treat them as different items with various top priorities. To date, that has suggested no touch screens on the Mac (regardless of years of rumors), and it will continue to imply that there are some Mac things that the iPad will remain unable to do.

, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when confronted with novel issues needing systematic thinking. ... In early June, Apple scientists released a study recommending that simulated thinking (SR) designs, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with unique problems needing methodical thinking. The researchers found comparable outcomes to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, revealing that these same designs accomplished low scores on novel mathematical proofs.The brand-new study, titled The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models through the Lens of Problem Complexity, originates from a group at Apple led by Parshin Shojaee and Iman Mirzadeh, and it includes contributions from Keivan Alizadeh, Maxwell Horton, Samy Bengio, and Mehrdad Farajtabar.The researchers examined what they call big thinking models (LRMs), which try to replicate a sensible reasoning procedure by producing a deliberative text output in some cases called chain-of-thought reasoning that ostensibly assists with solving issues in a detailed fashion.To do that, they pitted the AI models against 4 traditional puzzlesTower of Hanoi (moving disks in between pegs), checkers leaping (eliminating pieces), river crossing (carrying products with constraints), and blocks world (stacking blocks)scaling them from trivially easy (like one-disk Hanoi) to exceptionally intricate (20-disk Hanoi needing over a million relocations). Figure 1 from Apple's The Illusion of Thinking research paper. Credit: Apple Current evaluations mostly concentrate on established mathematical and coding criteria, stressing last answer accuracy, the researchers write. Simply put, today's tests only care if the design gets the right answer to math or coding problems that may currently remain in its training datathey do not examine whether the design really reasoned its way to that answer or just pattern-matched from examples it had seen before.Ultimately, the researchers found outcomes constant with the abovementioned USAMO research, revealing that these very same designs attained mostly under 5 percent on unique mathematical proofs, with just one design reaching 25 percent, and not a single best proof among almost 200 attempts. Both research teams recorded severe performance destruction on issues needing extended organized reasoning.
