Apple has at last unveiled MM1, a multimodal AI model capable of generating text and images. The AI model, which has undergone large-scale multimodal pre-training, is also capable of making in-context predictions.
Following a considerable period of gossip and conjecture regarding their impending AI initiatives and multimodal AI models, researchers at Apple have successfully created a series of substantial multimodal language models named MM1. These models have the capability to handle and produce both textual and visual information, as was discussed in a scholarly article presented the previous week.
The research conducted at Apple's labs was focused on developing efficient large language models that are multimodal (MLLMs). This was achieved by meticulously analyzing and modifying various structural elements, data sources, and training methods.
The investigators discovered that the quality of the image resolution and the efficiency of the visual encoder greatly influenced the model's effectiveness, whereas the particular strategy used to merge visual and textual data was not as critical.
They also found out that a meticulous combination of diverse data types was critical. This included intermixed image-text documents that aided in few-shot learning, conventional captioned images that improved zero-shot performance, and the inclusion of text-only data that sustained robust language comprehension skills.
MM1 has the ability to make predictions based on context due to its extensive multimodal pre-training. This equips MM1 with the capacity to enumerate objects and adhere to tailored formatting, identify portions of images and execute OCR, exhibit practical knowledge and vocabulary related to daily objects, and carry out elementary mathematical operations.
Using the knowledge gained, the group created the MM1 model series, which varies from three billion to 30 billion parameters, encompassing both dense and mixture-of-experts variations. As the training was intensified, MM1 accomplished leading-edge outcomes on several multimodal benchmarks in the pre-training phase.
After additional fine-tuning using a carefully selected dataset of 1 million samples, the ultimate MM1 models showcased robust performance in 12 different multimodal tasks, including visual question response and caption creation. Interestingly, MM1 was able to carry out reasoning across multiple images and few-shot learning, essential skills made possible by the team's meticulous multimodal pre-training method.
This study expands on earlier investigations into fields such as CLIP, which is used to learn visual depictions from natural language guidance, and autoregressive models like GPT, used for generating text. Nevertheless, it stands out as one of the pioneering in-depth researches concentrating specifically on large-scale multimodal pre-training.
The scientists are optimistic that their findings will hasten advancements, given that Apple is allegedly discussing incorporating Google's Gemini AI creation models into future iPhone software.
