Apple’s WWDC, Meta & Scale AI, o3-pro and fault-tolerant quantum computing

Did Apple’s WWDC 2025 live up to expectations? In episode 59 of Mixture
of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Chris Hay, Kaoutar El Magrahoui
and Shobhit Varshney. Today, the experts analyze all things Apple—from
Apple Research’s recent paperThe Illusion of Thinking to Apple
Intelligence. Next, OpenAI released o3-pro: we continue the analysis on
AI reasoning. Then, Meta purchased Scale AI for a whopping $15 billion.
Why? Finally, an exciting new announcement on fault-tolerant quantum
computing: IBM Quantum Starling will arrive by 2029. What does this mean
and why should we care? All that and more on this week’s Mixture of
Experts.
