Even further back. iOS 27 supports iPhone 11 (released 7 years ago, btw).

I would love to know how they are going to handle deepfakes.

Also, doesn't this give law enforcement an easier avenue to compel access to someone's accounts?

Interesting. I wonder if there is opportunity to train a set of small model variants to excel at a certain stacks. Eg Qwen3.6-27B for Node + React or Qwen3.6-27B for Rust + TUI

Sure, but it did better on the test, which matches OpenAI's claim. More bang for more buck.

Interestingly, using your tests as a comparison, 5.5 low beats 5.4 medium at a 82% of the cost.[0]

I’m only seeing 3x the cost of DeepSeek for other providers on Open Router. Is there a better place to look?
