🧠 Apple’s AI Moment Might Be MIA at WWDC

WWDC 2025 could be Apple’s “gap year” for AI

Apple might be gearing up for one of its quietest WWDCs in recent memory — at least on the AI front.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, this year's developer conference is shaping up to be a “gap year” as Apple lays the groundwork for a bigger AI splash in 2026.

So… what’s actually coming?

⚙️ What is coming?

🔹 3B Parameter Model
→ Devs can now build with it
→ But… still lags behind OpenAI & Google

🔹 Rebranded Features
→ Old tools get the “AI-powered” label
→ More marketing than magic

🔹 New Naming System
→ iOS/macOS branding shake-up
→ A fresh coat of paint, not a breakthrough

🚧 What’s not coming (yet)

⏳ Siri Revamp — LLM-powered upgrade delayed
💊 Project Mulberry — AI health features on hold
🔍 ChatGPT Competitor — Web search model still under wraps

🧪 Behind the scenes…

Apple’s 150B model is almost as good as ChatGPT.
But accuracy concerns + exec disagreements = no launch yet.

⚠️ Why it matters

Apple’s playing the long game...
But with rivals racing ahead,
a quiet WWDC could mean lost momentum.

🕳️ Is this the calm before Apple’s AI storm?

Or are they falling behind? 👀

🧠 Machines Outscore Humans in Emotional Smarts Test

🤖 Machines may not feel... but they sure know how to empathize.

Turns out, AI might understand your feelings better than your best friend.
Really.

A joint study from the University of Geneva and the University of Bern tested six top AI models against humans in emotional intelligence assessments.

📊 The Big Reveal:
AI outscored humans in emotional intelligence tests.

• AI models scored: 81%

• Humans scored: 56%

🧪 The Test:
Six AI systems were given complex, real-world emotional scenarios.
They had to pick the most emotionally intelligent response.
💡 GPT-4 even created new tests — instantly.

🧠 Who Took the Test?

• GPT-4

• Gemini 1.5 Flash

• Claude 3.5 Haiku

• Copilot 365

• DeepSeek V3

• o1

🧩 What This Means:
AI isn't just repeating what it's learned —
Researchers say it understands emotional logic.

💬 Why It Matters:
AI can’t feel emotions — but it can model them.
That’s powerful for:

• 🧘 Mental health support

• 👩‍🏫 Education

• 📞 Customer service

• 🧑‍💼 Workplace communication

🔮 The Future?
Emotionally smart AI that:
✅ Listens
✅ Responds
✅ Doesn’t get tired, flustered, or biased

💡 The line between human and machine empathy?
It’s getting blurry.
