Apple today released several open source large language models (LLMs) that are designed to run on-device rather than through cloud servers. Called OpenELM (Open-source Efficient Language Models), the LLMs are available on the Hugging Face Hub, a community for sharing AI code. As outlined in a white paper [PDF], there are eight total OpenELM models, four of which were pre-trained using the CoreNet library, and four instruction tuned models. Apple uses a layer-wise scaling strategy that is...
In a significant move towards enhancing privacy and processing efficiency, Apple has introduced a series of open source large language models (LLMs) known as OpenELM. These models are uniquely designed to operate directly on devices, diverging from the traditional reliance on cloud-based computations. This shift not only promises to improve user privacy by processing data […]
Enterprises still don't trust OpenAI, while open source AI models are cheaper and more than sufficient for targeted specific tasks, Nova AI founder says.

aiXcoder 7B is a new open-source coding large language model with 7 billion parameters that has demonstrated superior performance in code generation tasks compared to other models like Code Llama 34B and Star Coder 15B. It supports multiple programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, C++, and others, and integrates with popular IDEs such as VS Code […]
In terms of performance, the OpenLLM results shared by Apple show that the new models perform fairly well, especially the one with 3 billion parameters.
Apple has publicly shared four open-source models boasting of enhanced accuracy for queries, which could help the development of future AI models. A Siri icon superimposed on Apple Park As the tech industry continues to race forward with AI developments, Apple has continued to offer more glimpses into the technology it is working on. In the latest public release, Apple has released a quartet of open-source models. Referred to as Open Source Efficient LLMs, or OpenELMs, the instruct...
Ahead of iOS 18’s debut at WWDC in June, Apple has released a family of open-source large language models. Called OpenELM, Apple describes these as: a family of Open-source Efficient Language Models. In its testing, Apple says that OpenELM offers similar performance to other open language models, but with less training data. more
Just how real is quantum computing? We have an amazing guest on our Weekend Edition who will talk about how she is helping people prepare for IT careers using quantum computing. Meta’s new AI release sparks a debate about open versus closed source AI, major legislation expanding US government surveillance capabilities goes largely unnoticed, big
Ten years after releasing the source code of MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0, Microsoft is making yet another contribution to the world of open-source software preservation. Working in partnership with IBM and "in the spirit of open innovation," the company has released the source code of MS-DOS 4.00 under an MIT license.Read Entire Article
In the intricate landscape of software development, the question of whether open source software provides superior security compared to proprietary alternatives has sparked a longstanding debate. The open nature of the source code in open source projects, which allows for public scrutiny and modification, stands in sharp contrast to the closely guarded, inaccessible source code […]
If anyone had any doubts about Meta’s long-term commitment to artificial intelligence (AI), they were erased in the first minute of the company’s earnings call on Wednesday (April 24). While analysts were waiting to hear about the return on investment in the technology would bring, CEO Mark Zuckerberg made it clear that AI is on a two-to-three-year development roadmap. AI […]
