- AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
- Apple's developer-facing Siri AI platform via App Intents and skills is a notable platform release with real API details, but the evidence is an announcement and beta preview, not technical depth; the paid-usage fee is a relevant policy signal.
- AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
- A timely platform change gives developers new Siri/App Intents and multi-action integration capabilities, while the planned fee and regional limits matter strategically. It is well sourced but offers limited implementation detail.
