I guess LLM and AI are forbidden words in Apple language. They do their utmost to avoid these words.
Search for "large language model" instead of "LLM".

#12Is there a beta we can install to try out these models yet?
Re: Apple announces Foundation Models and Containerization frameworks, etc
#13What model are they bundling? Something apple-custom? How capable is it?
Re: Apple announces Foundation Models and Containerization frameworks, etc
#14Hopefully not bound to SwiftUI like seemingly everything else Apple Intelligence so far. But on-device llm (private) would be real nice to have.
"The framework has native support for Swift, so developers can easily access the Apple Intelligence model with as few as three lines of code."
Bad news.

#15Good move, not sure they are exposing other modalities as well ?

They took the clever (in my opinion) decision to rebrand "AI" as "Apple Intelligence", presumably partly in order to avoid the infinite tired "it's not really AI" takes that have surrounded that acronym for decades.

Apple has their own models under the hood I believe. I remember from like a year or two ago they had an open line called "ELM" (Efficient Language Model), but I'm not sure if that's what they're actually using.
I am excited to see what the benchmarks look like though, once it's live.

They described their home-grown models last year: https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/introducing-apple...
I'm assuming this is an updated version of those.

#19Okay, the AI stuff is cool, but that "Containerization framework" mention is kinda huge, right? I mean, native Linux container support on Mac could be a game-changer for my whole workflow, maybe even making Docker less of a headache.

#20They also just announced that Shortcuts can use these endpoints (or Private Cloud Compute or ChatGPT).
