The Information reports that Apple may be interested in PrismML\u2019s technology. The firm is focused on shrinking AI models that generally require servers to function, offering on-device functionality with comparable intelligence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PrismML may be key to unlocking more powerful models on-device<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe startup, PrismML, said it has shrunk down Qwen 3.6, an open-source
large language model developed by Chinese internet giant Alibaba, to run
on an iPhone 17 Pro,\u201d per The Information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe model has 27 billion parameters, which are roughly similar to the synapses in a brain and can help determine the complexity of the data a model can process. In contrast, most models that run on mobile phones have only a few billion parameters active at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report goes on to say that PrismML plans to release its open-source model on Tuesday, July 14, and that it\u2019s capable of tasks like software development. <\/p>\n

Later in the piece, The Information reports that Apple has already held meetings with PrismML about \u201cways it could use its technology,\u201d citing people familiar with the talks.<\/p>\n

In terms of acquisitions, Apple\u2019s biggest secretive AI play has been acquiring Q.ai, a startup that reportedly went for $2 billion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Apple worked with Google to develop Siri AI, the modern version of Siri that will debut with iOS 27.<\/p>\n
