Apple in talks with startup that shrinks AI models to run on an iPhone

Apple is in talks with PrismML, a startup that compresses large AI models (mathematical systems with billions of parameters that process information) so they can run directly on iPhones instead of requiring cloud servers. PrismML shrunk Alibaba's 54 GB Qwen model down to under 4 GB by drastically simplifying how the model stores information, allowing the compressed version to run on iPhone 15 and newer devices while using significantly less memory and energy, though with some loss in accuracy.
