1) The models behind "Apple Intelligence" are revealed: The 3B model outperforms Gemma-7B, and the server model rivals GPT-3.5-Turbo
Apple mentioned in an updated blog post that Apple Intelligence is composed of various highly intelligent generative models. The blog details two models: a device-side language model with approximately 3 billion parameters and a larger server-based language model that runs on Apple servers through private cloud computing.
2) Microsoft Copilot GPTs will be discontinued next month! Launched only 3 months ago, but cut due to inability to turn a profit
Microsoft announced that Copilot GPTs will be discontinued on July 10, and any GPTs created by users will be cleared. Microsoft's official explanation is a strategic adjustment - shifting the focus of GPT towards commercial and enterprise scenarios. The reason behind this may be a lack of profitability or inability to compete with OpenAI.
3) Luma AI launches a heavyweight text-to-video model that can generate 120 frames in 120 seconds
Luma AI's newly released text-to-video model, Dream Machine, is now freely available and can generate high-quality videos comparable to OpenAI's Sora. The model supports physical simulations and can generate 120 frames of video in 120 seconds, equivalent to 5 seconds of smooth animation, ensuring video authenticity and consistency.
The official also pointed out some current issues with the model. For example, cars may appear distorted during perspective switches, and dogs' movements may not use their paws correctly. Luma AI promises to continuously optimize the model.
4) Stable diffusion 3 officially opens source: The powerful text-to-image model SD3-M debuts
SD3-M is a powerful text-to-image model with 2 billion parameters, efficient inference speed, and excellent generation results. Stability AI has open-sourced the SD3-M weights, providing users with a free trial opportunity. The model uses the MMDiT architecture, achieving significant improvements in image quality, layout, and text prompt understanding. Users can experience the SD3-M generation effect through an online demo, but it is currently only for academic research, and commercial needs should contact Stability AI. Open-sourcing SD3-M provides users with opportunities to explore the application potential of text-to-image models.
