Apple has released iOS 18.4 Beta 3 to developers, featuring a significant advancement in its Apple Intelligence AI with the introduction of Chinese language support. According to official announcements, the Apple Intelligence feature in iOS 18.4 Beta 3 now supports multiple international languages, including French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. Furthermore, Apple Intelligence has been localized for English in Singapore and India.

Recently, Apple announced the release of the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, which will significantly enhance the performance and advanced features of Mac computers alongside the M4 chip. All three chips are manufactured using the industry-leading second-generation 3-nanometer process, optimizing both performance and energy efficiency. The central processors of the M4 series chips feature high-speed cores, achieving industry-leading single-threaded performance and significantly improving multi-threaded performance.

Apple has announced that its Apple Intelligence technology will officially debut next week with the iOS 18.1 update. Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman revealed that the release date for iOS 18.1 is set for October 28. In iOS 18.1, Apple Intelligence will introduce a suite of new features, including writing tools for text proofreading and rewriting, photo cleanup, notification summaries, and enhanced functionalities for Siri. These updates will provide iPhone users with a richer experience.

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently visited China and, when asked by a reporter from Jiemian, stated that Apple Intelligence is working hard to enter the Chinese market. He mentioned, 'We are working hard to move this forward, and there is a very specific regulatory process behind it that we need to complete, and we hope to bring it to Chinese consumers soon.' It is reported that this is Cook's second visit to China in 2024. During the third quarter earnings call for fiscal year 2024 in August this year, Cook was asked about the timeline for Apple Intelligence services.

In the world of artificial intelligence, the reasoning capabilities of machine learning models, particularly large language models (LLMs), have been a focal point for scientists. Recently, Apple's AI research team published a paper titled 'Understanding the Limitations of Large Language Models in Mathematical Reasoning,' shedding light on these models' limitations when addressing logical problems. In the paper, researchers demonstrate this through a simple mathematical question. They first posed a question about Oliver picking kiwis: as follows: Oliver picked 44 on Friday.

As AI technology continues to advance, understanding user interfaces (UI) has become a key challenge in creating intuitive and useful AI applications. Recently, researchers at Apple introduced UI-JEPA in a new paper, an architecture designed for lightweight, device-side UI understanding that maintains high performance while significantly reducing the computational requirements for UI understanding. The challenge of UI understanding lies in processing cross-modal features, including images and natural language, to capture temporal relationships within UI sequences. Despite the complexity, multimodal large language models...

Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies, Johny Srouji, revealed in a recent media interview that the reason the entire iPhone 16 series comes standard with 8GB RAM is due to the incorporation of AI features. He emphasized that this configuration was a thoughtful consideration for performance and efficiency.

Apple Inc. achieved total net revenue of $85.777 billion in the third fiscal quarter of 2024, a 5% year-on-year increase. iPhone revenue fell but exceeded expectations, while revenue from Mac and iPad grew, particularly with iPad growth surpassing expectations. Service revenue rose to $24.213 billion. Revenue from wearables, home, and accessories saw a slight decline. Some features of Apple Intelligence will be gradually launched this year, but only for iPads and Macs equipped with specific chips, as well as the iPhone 15 Pro series or newer.

Apple recently released the iOS 18.1 developer preview Beta update for iPhone users, with the most notable new feature being the introduction of Apple Intelligence. However, this feature is currently in testing phase and only partially available, and it is temporarily unavailable on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max sold in China.

Recently, Apple's AI team, in collaboration with institutions such as the University of Washington, has introduced an open-source language model named DCLM. This model boasts 700 million parameters and was trained using a staggering 2.5 trillion data tokens, aiding us in better understanding and generating language. So, what exactly is a language model? In simple terms, it is a program capable of analyzing and generating language, assisting us in various tasks such as translation, text generatio
