“This is a great little example of how simple agent-based systems can lead to emergent behavior, even with tiny AIs like Apple’s on-device LLM. Matt Webb built a demo AI smart home, when he asks it “turn on the light for my dog” the home figures out how.
“Apple AI on device is equivalent to other tiny models. Apple AI Server is equivalent to GPT-3.5ish Frontier models they are not, but will still give you supercharged Siri & okay-ish writing help. I don’t think this has much to do with high-end use cases.
“Introducing Phi-3 WebGPU, a private and powerful AI chatbot that runs locally in your browser, powered by 🤗 Transformers.js and onnxruntime-web! 🔒 On-device inference: no data sent to a server ⚡️ WebGPU-accelerated (> 20 t/s) 📥 Model downloaded once and cached Try it out! 👇

“How will Apple walk the fine line of massively deploying AI on phones and computers w/o compromising privacy? Good blog post explaining how Apple wants to walk this fine line 🧵” / X
Introducing Apple’s On-Device and Server Foundation Models – Apple Machine Learning Research
“Everyone’s expecting a reborn Siri at WWDC today. Well, Apple already published a paper on it that disclosed way more details than what we expect from Apple. It’s called “Ferret-UI”, a multimodal vision-language model that understands icons, widgets, and text on iOS mobile
“Yesterday Apple strongly advocated for on-device AI with @Apple Intelligence! Today, we know they will run ~3B LLM on device (Mac, iPhone, iPad) using fine-tuned LoRA Adapters for different tasks, claiming to outperform other 7B and 3B LLMs! 👀 What we know: 📱 On-device 3B
“Love how @Apple is advocating for on-device AI at WWDC . Local, smaller, specialized models are the future of private, secure and efficient AI.” / X

“Was toying around with LLM model eval that run well on a laptop. Turns out Llama 3 8B Instruct is a pretty good evaluator that runs on a MacBook Air. I got a pretty high 0.8 correlation with GPT-4 scores. Standalone notebook here if you want to give it a try:
