@ 2023/12/23We must do something catch up
Desperate to recover the ground lost by dropping the ball on AI, Apple claims that it has a secret plan to make iPhones smart by allowing them to chat like a real person.
Jobs Mob boffins have published a paper that claims to solve a major problem in running powerful AI programs on mobile phones.
The paper, called "LLM in a Flash", says that its method can make chatbots and other apps that use large language models (LLMs) work faster and better on iPhones.
For those who came in late, LLMs are huge databases that can generate realistic text and speech, such as the popular ChatGPT app. But they usually need massive computers to run them, which iPhones don't have.
It is the second paper from Apple on this topic this month and follows its earlier move to make iPhones able to create images from scratch. Apple and other phone makers hope that these new AI features will boost their flagging sales. Phone shipments have fallen by five per cent this year.
