Title is misleading. Some Mac Studio M3 Ultra users are seeing upgrade failures, but others are not.
The source for this article is an Apple.com discussion forum thread with a couple dozen complaints so far.

It seems surprising to me that this kind of basic thing (does the update work on the hardware we've released) wasn't validated by Apple prior to releasing this software update. Perhaps a sign of issues in the QA process at Apple around MacOS?

Release candidate was up on the developer site and another comment says that only a subset of people are having the problem . It would seem that the group is some kind of anomaly that never got a release candidate installed also.

If that does not prove that Apple has been very hasty with this update overall, I don't know what does. The bar for quality control has been set kinda low.
