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...
The tech industry is struggling now, with Tesla and Google known for their massive changes and AI still being the top priority.
Former President Donald Trump's key defense in his hush money trial, now underway in Manhattan, is likely to present a major problem as the case unfolds, a legal analyst revealed Monday. Former prosecutor Maya Wiley appeared on MSNBC to explain the pitfall Trump may stumble into as he tries to discredit Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's star witness, Michael Cohen. While Cohen is expected to testify that he orchestrated payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016...
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
Apple's offer to open its tap-and-go mobile payments system to rivals is set to be approved by EU antitrust regulators as soon as next month after it tweaked some of the terms, people familiar with the matter said. Apple's bid to settle the four-year investigation would help it dodge a finding of wrongdoing and stave off a potential hefty fine that could be as much as 10% of its global annual turnover. Apple's tap-and-go technology called near-field communication, or NFC, allows for contactless...
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
In this week’s Digiday+ Research Briefing, we examine BuzzFeed’s plans to pivot the business to an AI-driven tech and media company, how marketers’ use of X and ad spending has dropped dramatically, and how agency executives are fed up with Meta’s ad platform bugs and overcharges, as seen in recent data from Digiday+ Research.
