I hear it’s slower? Can you comment on that?
I haven't noticed or heard that it's slower.

Also on the beta. Agreed. Definite visual and UX improvement over 26, fixing the most egregious issues with 26 implementation of Liquid Glass, but maybe not quite as good as 25 overall.
> not quite as good as 25 overall
Nothing will ever be as good as 25.
Because macOS 25 does not exist. ;-)

Also a liquid glass hater, but for what it's worth, 27 is supposed to make it a little bit better. I would prefer to go back to what I had before I had to upgrade into this horrible UI, but this is better than nothing. https://www.cultofmac.com/news/liquid-glass-changes-ios-27-m...
You can almost turn it off on the 27 beta, and 27 seems to perform a lot better too.
You can already turn off most glass effects in 26 via "System Settings => Accessibility => Display => Reduce Transparency".
I had that turned off years ago (for reasons I don't remember), and was wondering what all the fuzz was about when 26 came out because I didn't see much of a difference ;)
IMHO the actual important visual changes in the 27 beta is that rolls back the bizarre oversized corner radius in Finder windows, and they also got rid of the 'every menu item must have an icon' idea.

#5415.7.8 is out today as well, with these security fixes: https://support.apple.com/en-us/128071 . For context, there have been issues with MacOS 26 which have led many people to defer upgrading until MacOS 27 is available, and MacOS 15 is the previous version.
Are there no versions between MacOS 15 and 26???

What happened?
The gist is, OpenAI hired a high ranking Apple employee who helped other Apple employees get hired by OpenAI and exfiltrate Apple trade secrets in the process. Allegedly of course.
> high ranking Apple employee
Jony Ive basically works for Open AI (it's more complicated, but it's a good approximation), and has more or less rebuilt a designing team over there.
He's not the central person mentioned in Apple's accusations but that's arguably the central point that's triggering all of this.

They changed the numbering scheme, so... no, there aren't. Version numbers are now year-based, but previously they were not.

27 seems superior to 26 in almost every way, although I'm still on a fairly old beta.

> For context, there have been issues with MacOS 26 which have led many people to defer upgrading For me the issue is liquid glass. Which I doubt is getting fixed any time soon
Same. It's not the worst thing in the world, at least with Reduce Transparency enabled in the Accessibility settings, but I still don't feel any inclination to upgrade. My personal Mac Studio is macOS 15 and my work MacBook is on macOS 26, and I don't think there's a single thing that I find to be better on the work laptop than on my personal machine.
I might update to macOS 26 in September to be ready to update to macOS 27. Being two versions behind doesn't seem reasonable and I'd rather be on the "Tahoe but less shitty" version than Tahoe itself.

#60Lots of "in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research" mentions, no mentions of other labs. I'd assume Apple already had access to whatever the most powerful model is at the various US-based labs, but perhaps not?
Apple also hosts a copy of Claude internally in their servers.
source?
edit: it seems asking for a source it frowned uppon in this site. And it seems there's no source.
