Apple's new AI model outperforms GPT-4

PLUS: OpenAI adds image editing

Welcome, AI enthusiasts.

Apple researchers just revealed a new AI model that can ‘see’ and understand screen context — and they say it can ‘substantially outperform‘ GPT-4 on benchmarks.

If research papers are any indications of future launches, we’re gearing up for a wild ride at Apple WWDC 2024. Let’s get into it.

In today’s AI rundown:

  • Apple’s ReALM ‘outperforms‘ GPT-4

  • OpenAI adds image editing to DALL-E 3

  • Generate green screen product mockups with AI

  • 6 new AI tools & 4 new AI jobs

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

APPLE

The Rundown: In a new research paper, Apple researchers introduced ReALM, a new AI system that can understand on-screen tasks, conversational context, and background processes.

The details:

  • ReALM uses a new approach of converting screen info to text — allowing it to bypass bulky image recognition parameters for more efficient on-device AI.

  • The model takes into account both what's on the user's screen and what tasks are active.

  • According to the paper, Apple's larger ReALM models substantially outperformed GPT-4, despite having fewer parameters.

Example use case: If scrolling through a website and you want to call a business, a user could tell Siri to “call the business“, and Siri would be able to “see“ the phone number on the website and call it directly.

Why it matters: ReALM is a big step forward in making voice assistants more context-aware. By understanding on-screen info and additional context, the next Siri update could provide a more seamless and hands-free user experience.

OPENAI DALL-E

The Rundown: OpenAI has introduced a new feature that allows users to edit images generated by DALL-E 3 directly within ChatGPT, providing a more streamlined way to customize AI-generated images.

The details:

  • The DALL-E editor enables users to select specific areas of an image and prompt changes.

  • Users can add, remove, or modify objects and characteristics within a selected region of an AI-generated image.

  • The editor is accessible via the web interface and the ChatGPT mobile app, with slight variations in the editing process between platforms.

Why it matters: Integrating image editing capabilities directly into DALL-E 3 is a big step forward in expanding the image-generation possibilities using ChatGPT. However, with Midjourney having similar features for a while, it looks like OpenAI is finally the one playing catch-up.

AI TRAINING

The Rundown: This Midjourney or DALL-E 3 prompt can create stunningly realistic computer, phone, or product mockups, complete with a green screen to customize for your business or product easily.

Step-by-step:

  1. Open DALL-E 3 or Midjourney and type /imagine.

  2. Prompt to generate an image of someone holding/using a device in front of a solid green background. For example: “Over the shoulder shot of a person in front of an entirely <color> computer screen”

  3. Customize and tweak the prompt as necessary to get the image just right — then export and open in an editing app (Photoshop, Canva, etc.) to replace the colored screen background with your own imagery.

  4. Note — be mindful of reflections, such as green screens bleeding into other aspects of the image.
