Apple has made significant advancements in artificial intelligence by unveiling its Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), including a specific model named MM1, designed to compete with GPT4 and enhance Siri's capabilities. This development positions Apple as a strong competitor in the AI field, alongside other major announcements from tech giants such as Google DeepMind and OpenAI. Additionally, the tech industry has seen a flurry of AI innovations, with Elon Musk's xAI releasing Grok-1, a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 314 billion parameters, under the Apache 2.0 license, written in JAX and Rust, and completed in October 2023. Grok-1's open-source nature and its benchmarks, despite being twice the size of GPT-3.5, have sparked discussions about its efficiency and potential applications. These developments underscore the rapid pace of AI research and the increasing investments by tech companies in multimodal AI technologies.
