Darwin
The underlying core of Apple operating systems such as macOS and iOS. It is based on BSD-derived system code and uses the XNU kernel, which combines the Mach microkernel with BSD components.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Darwin core underlying macOS is based on code from BSD-derived systems (such as FreeBSD and NetBSD), and its kernel XNU combines the Mach microkernel with BSD components.
macOS and iPadOS share the Darwin kernel and some frameworks at the underlying level.
The Darwin series models achieved perfect scores on the AIME 2026 and HMMT 2026 mathematical reasoning benchmarks.
The Darwin model series has public records on Hugging Face; referring to VIDRAFT's previously released Darwin-180B-RSI, which once topped five Hugging Face benchmarks, one can view the published checkpoints on its organization homepage.
