AIPhone 16: the Visual Intelligence Phone
Apple announced the new iPhone 16 lineup featuring Visual Intelligence, a new AI capability integrated with Camera Control, Apple Maps, and Siri, emphasizing privacy and default service use over third-party AI like OpenAI. Apple Photos now includes advanced video understanding with timestamp recognition. Meanwhile, Reflection-70B claims to be a top open-source model but benchmarks show it performs close to Llama 3 70B and slightly worse than Qwen 2 72B. Yann LeCun highlighted ongoing challenges with LLM planning abilities, noting models like Llama-3.1-405b and Claude show some skill, while GPT-4 and Gemini lag behind. Weights & Biases is sponsoring an event to advance LLM evaluation techniques with prizes and API access.
