Apple Quietly Unveils New Multimodal AI With A Staggering 30B Parameters: Could It Power Text And Vision Features On IPhones?
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) researchers have made significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The iPhone maker published its latest research detailing new techniques for training large language models (LLMs) using text and images, potentially leading to more powerful and flexible AI systems.
苹果公司(纳斯达克股票代码:AAPL)的研究人员在人工智能(AI)领域取得了重大进展。这家iPhone制造商发布了其最新研究,详细介绍了使用文本和图像训练大型语言模型(LLM)的新技术,这有可能带来更强大、更灵活的人工智能系统。
What Happened: The new methods, outlined in a research paper titled "MM1: Methods, Analysis & Insights from Multimodal LLM Pre-training," were quietly released on arxiv.org. The paper details how combining various training data and model architectures can result in top-notch performance across various AI benchmarks.
发生了什么:一篇题为 “MM1:来自多模态LLM预训练的方法、分析和见解” 的研究论文中概述了这些新方法,已在arxiv.org上悄悄发布。本文详细介绍了如何将各种训练数据和模型架构结合起来,在各种人工智能基准测试中实现一流的性能。
The researchers found that a diverse dataset incorporating visual and linguistic information was crucial for the MM1 models to excel at tasks such as image captioning, visual question answering, and natural language inference.
研究人员发现,整合视觉和语言信息的多样化数据集对于MM1模型在图像字幕、视觉问答和自然语言推断等任务中表现出色至关重要。
Interestingly, researchers found that the image's resolution also played an important role in the quality of the AI model's output. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the data and, therefore, the output generated.
有趣的是,研究人员发现,图像的分辨率在人工智能模型的输出质量中也起着重要作用。分辨率越高,数据的质量越好,因此生成的输出也就越好。
