Apple, one of the technology leaders, has just joined the race in the field of artificial intelligence. The company, which has previously lagged behind, recently unveiled its new innovation – a multimodal large language model called Ferret. Interestingly, Apple has decided to make this model available under an open-source license, which is considered a surprise due to the company’s typically closed policy.
Ferret was officially released in October 2023 and was only recently discovered as a full surprise. This model has the ability to analyze and describe images, including “smaller regions within images.” At the same time, it has fewer instances of hallucinations compared to its competitors, such as GPT-4 (ChatGPT Plus). Although Apple is just beginning its journey with language models, the company has already showcased some of the results of its work. Focusing on mobile devices, the company plans to integrate its model into smartphones and tablets, enabling them to utilize artificial intelligence locally. Smartphones like the Google Pixel 8 Pro already utilize artificial intelligence, and in the future, Samsung’s S24 series and other mobile device manufacturers will also join in.
Will Ferret be fully accessible for all commercial purposes?
No, Ferret cannot be used for commercial purposes.
Does Apple intend to create competition for ChatGPT and Google Bard?
Yes, Ferret aims to compete with chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Bard.
