Apple announced the MM1 multimodal LLM family with up to 30B parameters, claiming performance comparable to Gemini-1 and beating larger older models on VQA benchmarks. The paper targets researchers and hints at applications in embodied agents and business/education. Yann LeCun emphasized that human-level AI requires understanding the physical world, memory, reasoning, and hierarchical planning, while Fran ois Chollet cautioned that NLP is far from solved despite LLM advances. Cohere released Command-R, a model for Retrieval Augmented Generation, and Anthropic highlighted the Claude 3 family (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) for various application needs. Open-source hardware DexCap enables dexterous robot manipulation data collection affordably. Tools like CopilotKit simplify AI integration into React apps, and migration to Keras 3 with JAX backend offers faster training. New projects improve reranking for retrieval and add financial agents to LangChain. The content includes insights on AI progress, new models, open-source tools, and frameworks.
