A new training method called Internalized Visual Thinking lets AI models reason about video the way humans picture things in their heads, skipping the slow step of generating actual images mid-analysis.
Apple's AI Lab Ran 2,000 Training Experiments to Crack a Problem Every AI Builder Faces
How do you teach an AI model about a rare language or niche subject when there is barely any text to learn from? Apple ML Research spent thousands of runs finding out.
UK Government Is Sending Unemployed Young People to AI Boot Camps
A three-week training scheme will teach jobless young Britons to use artificial intelligence tools to find work. The twist: AI is also one of the main reasons those jobs are harder to find.
