macOS 27 Golden Gate beta 3 rolling out now to developers
Two weeks ago, Apple released macOS 27 Golden Gate developer beta 2. Although it included barely any notable user-facing tweaks or features, the update introduced under-the-hood changes that made it significantly less reliable than beta 1.
With today’s release, likely the first beta built after WWDC, there is a chance the system will include changes based on early user feedback.
macOS 27 Golden Gate brings several improvements to Liquid Glass, including a slider that lets users precisely adjust how transparent or opaque UI elements appear. It also standardizes rounded corners across system windows, apps, and programs, addressing a frequent complaint in macOS 26.
Additionally, macOS 27 Golden Gate features the new Siri AI and its companion app, which leverages a new indexing system under the hood to more precisely include relevant information as the basis for Siri to generate answers. Siri AI and macOS 27 Golden Gate as a whole rely on the third-generation Apple Foundation Models, and you can read more about them here.
The build version for macOS 27 Golden Gate beta 3 is 26A5378j. We are digging through the new beta and will report back with what we find.
