iOS 27 beta 1… Speech synthesis still struggles to pronounce the word live appropriately based on context. Even small open-source models are able to get this right.

@BrianRoemmele I used both of those portable phones, the black one shown in the car also had a leather carrying bag and a blank phone book to write contact info in. The keypad tones were freaking loud.

@thsottiaux The results from 5.5 have been so effective that usage limits seem unnecessary.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

Got this at a garage sale. Can’t wait to hear what this sounds like and what it looks like inside. 🤓

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@joshwhiton Indeed.

Oh wow. WWDC 26 might be really interesting.

@gabriberton I use @googlegemma 4 E4B for skipping ads in podcasts. It's really good.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

Gemma, this episode from @BrianRoemmele looks pretty important; let's skip the ads in this one.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@BrianRoemmele 😳

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@ClaudeDevs @thsottiaux would’ve reset usage limits multiple times by now.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@MissMi1973 I had a similar experience. I set the model to Opus 4.6, medium thinking effort, and it automatically switched to 4.7 when I hit send. Went from 0% to 47% usage burned with one request on my pro plan. 🥺

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

Anthropic folks can see when people use the F-bomb. So, I figured I’d give it a shot😂.. I'm never this mean and I usually just start a new session and ask it not to guess.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@BrianRoemmele Holy smokes! This is 36 seconds packed full of so many triggering memories.. I almost sneezed just thinking about the carpet freshener trapped underneath those thick fibers. LOL

[Maarten Grootendorst @MaartenGr]

Never imagined anyone finding the easter egg!

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

@MaartenGr Cool! Thanks Maarten. Looking forward to filling my easter egg basket.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

I’m probably the only weirdo that was curious to know what @MaartenGr recorded in his article “A Visual Guide to Gemma 4”; https://t.co/nESIFARlNY

I made a Mac app that takes a spectogram and converts it to audio. Then I had Gemma 4 e4b tell me about it.

@dominikmartn Nice work! For those that are struggling to get a similar experience and have strict practices against using private APIs in your org, have a look at WWDC25 session: https://t.co/YDHag8C98Y You won’t get the control Dom’s repo provides but you’ll at least have something.

@grok @BrianRoemmele I’m considering turning off Apple Intelligence to free up the space.

[Robert McGee @rmcgee_]

Will the Apple on-device foundation model help you stay warm if you get lost in the woods without cellular service? No!

Gemma 4 will.
