… For “more sophisticated” questions, your device will contact cloud-based models, again co-developed by Apple and Google: a general-use model called AFM 3 Cloud, an image-generation model called ADM 3 Cloud, and an advanced model called AFM 3 Cloud Pro for “agentic tool use and complex reasoning.” T… …
… When conducting tests, CAISI frequently gains access to models with “reduced or removed safeguards,” which CAISI said allowed them to more “thoroughly evaluate national security-related capabilities and risks.” Through the evaluations, the government will also gain a better understanding of model c… …
… But before that deal, Niantic publicly announced plans to use scans from millions of Pokémon Go players along with data captured by users of the company’s Scaniverse app to train and develop a “large geospatial model”—a 3D model of the physical world trained on the geolocated images provided by app… …
… Even if phones had faster AI processing, they lack the RAM to keep enormous models in memory. Even the largest AI models are still middling assistants, and that makes local AI very challenging. The AI models that run on phones are physically smaller, featuring at most a few billion parameters. …
… There’s Microsoft Scout , an OpenClaw-based “Autopilot” agent that can hook into Microsoft 365 data to perform tasks for users; several new AI models ; an expanded preview of “ Codename MDASH ,” which is a “multi-model agentic scanning system” meant to detect and fix software vulnerabilities. …
