🍏 Apple introduces AI model MM1
Apple has created a new model MM1 that can work with text and images. Unlike older models, MM1 can analyze photos and texts together, which helps to better understand and explain the content. MM1 includes both large models with parameters up to 30 billion and various options using a mixture of expert approaches (MoE). This combination allows the model to better understand and generate content.
There are 2 unusual aspects to this news:
- the fact that Apple has decided to publicly release something from its developments. Usually, they do this quietly and keep systems super closed. Overall, there is a trend towards open systems, and this is certainly encouraging.
- the fact that Apple did this without grand PR, simply publishing a scientific paper.
