Recently, Apple announced two ** articles showing its significant progress in artificial intelligence research, especially a new technology for efficient language model inference. This technology is expected to enable complex AI systems to run smoothly on small memory devices such as iPhones and iPads, bringing users a better experience with smart assistants and chatbots.
As we all know, large language models such as GPT-4 contain a huge number of parameters, and if they are run directly on consumer hardware, the inference cost can be very high. Apple's technicians have used a series of methods to minimize data transfer from flash memory to memory, significantly improving inference efficiency. On GPUs, this technology achieves a 20-25x speedup, significantly reducing the cost and energy consumption of running complex AI systems.
This breakthrough is particularly important for deploying advanced LLMs (large language models) in resource-constrained environments, and will greatly improve the applicability and accessibility of these systems. For Apple users, this means that in the near future, sophisticated AI assistants and chatbots will be possible to run smoothly on iPhones, iPads, and other mobile devices.
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at Tianfeng International, pointed out in the latest article that the iPhone 16 will launch innovative features related to AI. To achieve this, Apple revamped the Siri team in the third quarter of this year, aiming to integrate AIGC capabilities and LLMs (large language models). On mobile phones, voice input will become a key interface for AI, AIGC, and LLM (large language models), so enhancing Siri's software capabilities is key to promoting AI capabilities.
In addition, Ming-Chi Kuo's latest survey shows that all iPhone 16 models will be significantly upgraded in terms of audio hardware, and will have a better signal-to-noise ratio in addition to better water resistance. This enhancement will further enhance the Siri experience, allowing users to get clearer and more accurate voice responses when interacting with the bot.
Overall, Apple's continued research and breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence will bring innovation vitality to the global smartphone market. From efficient inference technology to upgraded voice input and audio hardware, the iPhone 16 promises to bring users an unprecedented experience with smart assistants and chatbots. As technology continues to advance and use cases expand, we look forward to seeing more amazing AI capabilities in future mobile devices.
