Quick Amber update.
For those who haven’t seen it — Amber is the SIG’s own AI assistant, purpose-built for our members. Chapter 1 is live in pre-production and geared towards spec questions and qualification guidance. Please go visit and play around at amber.bluetooth.com
We presented it to the Board in Bangkok last week and the response was strong. They gave us a clear endorsement to move forward to a full member launch.
Since that presentation the team has already shipped several improvements. We added a legal guardrail — Amber now hard-declines questions about patents and IP legal interpretation, using language that Deric signed off on.
We tightened citation behavior so Amber always tells you which specification version it’s drawing from and won’t speculate beyond what the source actually says. And we fixed some routing gaps where SIG-specific acronyms like GCPD and QPRD weren’t being recognized correctly.
We’ve also been expanding who’s testing it. Google engineers are now in through a referral from Alain, and we’re bringing more member companies on. Their feedback goes straight into our evaluation set.
Which brings me to the target: 95% accuracy on 47 SME-validated questions before we open Amber to members at Milan. That’s the bar we’ve set, and we’re not launching until we hit it.

So Bangkok was a milestone, but it was not the finish line. Here’s what we’re executing on right now.
On the platform and production side — Microsoft’s development team is formally coming on board as our production engineering partner. They’ll be helping with the infrastructure buildout and scaling the platform for a full member-facing launch. We’re also completing our security review and finishing some index validation work on the qualification side.
Running in parallel — we’re finalizing Terms of Service with Deric, which needs to be done before we open Amber to members. Our SME team continues refining the domain knowledge and working through the ongoing evaluation. And Chapters 2a and 2b — the AI-assisted test authoring and spec authoring capabilities — are ramping up into active scoping now that Chapter 1 is stable.
The date we’re building toward is the Milan Face-to-Face in early June. That’s when Chapter 1 launches to members at amber.bluetooth.com.
To put it simply — Bangkok demonstrated that this works. Milan is when we hand it to members. Everything between now and then is about making sure it’s ready.
