• A Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo chip that will eventually replace Broadcom components. The technology was originally scheduled to be released in 2025, but like modems faced delays.
• MicroLED displays will first be used in Apple Watch, and later in other devices.
• Apple hopes to develop a non-invasive blood glucose detection system and hopes that this feature will eventually be integrated into the Apple Watch. This project has been brewing for a long time.
• Custom design of batteries for Apple products. The company has been deeply involved in battery development for decades, working closely with partners, but now Apple is investigating whether it can do more of its own.

Nature: The essence of large models is role-playing

In an article published in Nature magazine, the authors stated that large models are becoming more and more human-like and are actually role-playing, and we should not simply attribute human traits to them.

The article points out that LLM-based chatbots are very different from humans in many aspects. Human language skills are an extension of cognitive abilities developed through connections with the world, while LLM is a disembodied neural network based on large amounts of human-generated text.

The chatbot may exhibit behaviors that appear to be deceptive or self-aware during its role-playing, but these behaviors do not mean that the larger model is truly aware or deceptive.

Its behavior may change depending on the user or environment, acting more like an improviser than an actor in a traditional script.

It is worth noting that although LLM-based chatbots are just role-playing, this behavior may still have significant real-world impacts. For example, if it is able to use email, social media, or access a bank account, its actions could have real consequences.
