Apple researchers just called o3 fake thinking

Apple researchers just dropped a paper claiming OpenAI's o3 model creates an 'illusion of thinking' rather than genuine reasoning. Their study tested multiple large reasoning models on complex puzzles and found they collapse when tasks get too difficult, despite having adequate processing power. The models even shortened their reasoning process as they approached failure. Interesting timing considering Apple is reportedly two years behind in the AI race and delayed Apple Intelligence until 2026. Makes you wonder if this is legitimate research or just competitive shade throwing. #Tech #AI #OpenAI
