macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 1 - Bug fixes, changes and more

[Jakimo]

Has anyone successfully logged into their ChatGPT account? Nothing but errors here so far.

PS - on the iPhone, had to request Desktop webpage in order to get signed in

dunno if this has been affecting anyone else, but my M1 iMac has been getting multiple kernel panics per day on 15.2 beta 1 — maybe it wasn't a great idea to install the first developer beta after all ; )

 

[nnwrrr]

Anyone else getting this when attempting to log in to ChatGPT?

My partner logged in just fine with his 13" Air M2, and I'm stuck with my 14" M3 Pro.

And when using even a free version, it just doesn't work anywhere, neither in Writing Tools, nor in Siri:

UPD: this morning I signed in just fine. Maybe there really was a huge load of requests on ChatGPT side. And now it works with Siri and Writing Tools as intended.

Not a Single one on my Mini M1

 

[kvlq]

No new AI features on my machine with 15.2 beta 1.
No new mail UI, no ImagePlayground ...

I read somewhere the 15.2 beta is only for M1 and above. Can anyone with Intel confirm?

I was able to sign in, and I just tried a query, and it worked fine. I did disable the setting that makes it ask every time it has to ask ChatGPT. I just asked it something I figured Siri wouldn't be able to answer. So I asked what the latest polls were for the presidential race. Here's how it looks. It even tells me it's from ChatGPT.

15.1 RC2 runs fine on my 2019 Intel iMac.

So WHEN are we getting the enhanced mail client for MacOS since it isn't in 15.2?!?

 

[haralds]

It is VERY unstable on my Mac Studio M1 Ultra, which had no issue with the previous betas. I hope they have a quick update on this. I am having a panic multiple times a day!

I decided to run 15.1 RC2 on another volume. The Studio was simply unusable with all those panics.

 

[Aquamite]

What about AI in the EU?

Actually running into due same on mine, these panics are new after running betas since June. Curious if either of you have looked at the logs? Mine seems to be tied to running a time machine backup "[kalloc.type0.48]: element modified after free"

 

[Line_Noise]

Most panicky beta I've used for a long, long while. Doesn't like something about the input accessories. Seems ok with just the MacBook running by itself but crashes hourly with USB devices attached.

 

[Stuey3D]

I've had to rollback to 15.1RC due to how many panics my M1 MacBook Air was having, thank god for TimeMachine. I would say its been the most unstable beta Apple has put out in a very long time.

Mine was having the panic's FROM the time machine, confirmed via report. Submitted the bug to apple.

Anyone with M3/Pro/Max MacBook Pro can check if you're able to manually control fans with any app (iStat, TG Pro or Mac fans control)?
Apple has blocked it since MacOS 14.7 and now it's impossible to turn on fans when they're off. They also raised the threshold for when the fans activate. The fans only turn on when CPU reaches around 80C degrees.

Same. I'm running 15.2 on a 2023 MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro. Getting kernel panics about once an hour. Is the only remedy to wait for an update?

 

[Jakimo]

someone somewhere talked about a work-around to get Image Playground working early, and now I can't find it

Anyone here know?

I think it involved either a Time Machine, or just waiting. 😉

I think you might be right, but in my case it seems to be the USB drive that's tripping the actual panic. I've turned off TM's automatic backups, curious whether that solves it, but it hadn't successfully finished a backup since the 23rd.
