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
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...
Elon Musk's AI company xAI will raise billions from tech VCs.
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.

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.
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
XAI, a company linked to renowned innovator Elon Musk, has unveiled Grok 1.5 Vision (Grok-1.5V), a innovative multimodal AI model that represents a significant advancement in artificial intelligence. This sophisticated technology is engineered to interpret and process a vast array of visual data, signifying a notable milestone in AI development. As we explore the intricacies […]
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
The attitudes down under towards social media have turned barmy. While there is much to take Elon Musk to task for his wrecking ball antics at the platform formerly known as Twitter, not to mention his highly developed sense of sociopathy, the hysteria regarding the refusal to remove images of a man in holy orders being More
To strengthen his artificial intelligence (AI) company, Elon Musk urged ambitious individuals to join his groundbreaking initiative, xAI. This wide-ranging project seeks engineers, designers, and staff for product development, data analysis, and infrastructure management."Join xAI," the tech tycoon wrote in a cross-post. Musk shared a link to his AI company's Careers page in the cross-post. Grok, an AI-powered chatbot launched in 2023, is at the forefront of this burgeoning enterprise. xAI is...
