Looking at Apple AI - MM1: the newest generative model in the industry
"""Apple presented its work on its own AI - MM1: how it works
Apple for the first time demonstrates how it develops its own model of artificial intelligence. Company engineers published a research paper detailing the creation of a new generative AI model called MM1 that can work with text and images.
Introduction to MM1 and its capabilities
MM1 is a multimodal large language model (MLLM) that learns from images and text.Its name is undisclosed but possibly stands for MultiModal 1, according to Wired journalists who analyzed Apple's article.
- MM1 consists of a family of AI models, the largest of which has 30 billion parameters. A larger number of parameters corresponds to a more complex model that can solve more problems and provide more accurate results.
- The article says that AI can answer questions about photos and demonstrate the skills that ChatGPT and other similar chatbots possess. When MM1 was presented with a photo of a restaurant table with beer bottles and a picture of the menu and asked how much the entire supply of beer cost, she correctly calculated the cost.
- The MM1 is similar to recent AI models from other tech giants, such as Meta's open-source Llama 2 and Google's Gemini.
- Models of this type can be used for chatbots or to create "agents" that help solve tasks using computer interfaces or websites . This means that MM1 can potentially be used in Apple products such as Siri.
How Apple can use the MM1
Kate Saenko, a professor at Boston University, believes that the MM1 is a model with with a small number of "parameters". Such a model could make it easier for Apple engineers to experiment with different learning methods and improvements before scaling it up.
According to her, research makes it difficult to make assumptions about the company's plans. But she believes the MM1 could be a step toward creating "some kind of multimodal assistant that can describe and answer questions about photos, documents, or diagrams."
Why it matters
In the development of generative AI, Apple is far behind its competitors: Google has its Gemini, OpenAI has ChatGPT, and Microsoft is working on Copilot , Meta developed by Llama and others. In order to catch up with the technological giants, Apple changed its vector of development and even stopped the project of creating its own autonomous electric car.
Apple CEO Tim Cook in his speech noted that Apple is investing a "tremendous" amount of time and effort into the development of artificial intelligence, and the details will be revealed later. iOS 18 is expected to be one of the biggest software updates in Apple's history, with several artificial intelligence features.
However, it is not yet clear which AI will be used by Apple. We previously reported that Apple and Google are in talks to integrate Gemini's generative AI into new iPhone features, and they've also been in talks with OpenAI. The situation may become clear after the annual World Conference of Developers.

MM1 opens up endless possibilities for the development of interfaces and artificial intelligence. The use of this technology in Siri could change the perception of voice assistants.
Sophia
Another reason to teach Siri better ways to respond to user requests! A very interesting period for any software engineer.
Luca
I think MM1 can help Apple better adapt its products to user requirements. They always managed to find a way to surprise the world.
Clara
It is important to me that AI is accessible and understandable. MM1 can make interaction with technology more natural.
Gustav
To buy or not to buy Apple gadgets due to the development of AI? This will be a new reason for my sleepless nights.
Bruno
Perhaps the MM1 will be the key to a new generation of innovations that will change our daily lives. Apple's commitment to AI development is interesting.
Marie
I'm glad Apple has decided to branch out into other markets if it allows them to become a leader in their industry again.
Oscar
I agree with Marie. New technologies from Apple are always interesting and awaited by true fans of the brand.
