Cutting-edge AI models ‘collapse’ in face of complex problems, Apple study finds ‘Pretty devastating’ paper raises doubts about race to reach stage of AI at which systems match human intelligence Apple researchers have found “fundamental limitations” in cutting-edge artificial intelligence models, in a paper raising doubts about the technology industry’s race to develop ever more powerful systems. Apple claimed in a paper published at the weekend that large reasoning models (LRMs) – an advanced form of AI – faced a “complete accuracy collapse” when presented with highly complex problems.

Durham UCU members on picket line.

Picketing by Physics., for our #FightingChance to save jobs.

Solidarity with UCU members at Durham Univeristy Striking today.

Staff are standing up against job cuts and defending the future of education! ✊

#ProtectEducationNow #UCU

Jamie speaking to the picketers and supporters at the Durham UCU strike rally, the branch banner in the background.

Rally time! Jamie lays it out!

Great turnout today on @ducu.bsky.social pickets. On strike to protect professional services staff jobs.

An attack on one is an attack on all!

Management tried to pit academics against professional services staff - they've failed!

We are *all* the university!

On strike this week with @ducu.bsky.social, fighting against job losses and further cuts ✊

30% ! We better plan things to develop this year (emphasis on developing this year :-) )

(7/7)

A SAS experiences a Surprise when it detects that its assumed impacts don't match what's observed during execution. Instead of sticking to outdated assumptions, the system learns and adapts, enabling better-informed decisions and optimal performance—even in the face of unexpected changes.

💡 In our paper, "Surprise! Surprise! Learn and Adapt," we keep exploring the relevance of the concept of Surprise in self-adaptive systems.

(5/n)

Self-adaptive systems are designed to make decisions under uncertainty, balancing trade-offs between quality attributes based on the expected impact of their adaptation actions. But here's the twist: what if those assumptions change over time or deviate from reality? (4/n)

the work was done with my research associate Dylan Walton, and Huma Samin.

What happens when a self-adaptive system (SAS) gets surprised because its assumptions about the impact of adaptation actions no longer hold true?
