Everybody’s talking about AI, but how many of those who claim to be “experts” can actually break down the math behind it? It’s easy to get lost in the buzzwords and headlines, but the truth is — without a solid understanding of the equations and theories driving these technologies, you’re only skimming the surface.

Imagine a world where bustling office spaces fell silent, and the daily commute became a distant memory. When COVID-19 hit, that world became a reality, transforming how we work. Remote work quickly transitioned from a perk to a necessity, and data science—already digital at heart—was poised for this change. According to a recent report from Gartner, 47% of employers are open to full-time remote work even beyond the pandemic, highlighting a massive shift in the job landscape.

There’s a lot of noise surrounding the ability of AI agents to connect to your tools, systems and data. But building an AI application into a reliable, secure workflow agent isn’t as simple as plugging in an API. As an engineering leader, it can be challenging to make sense of this evolving landscape, but agent tooling provides such high value that it’s critical we figure out how to move forward.
Machine Learning Research at Apple
OCTOBER 31, 2024
Many app developers are interested in building on device experiences that integrate increasingly capable large language models (LLMs). Running these models locally on Apple silicon enables developers to leverage the capabilities of the user's device for cost-effective inference, without sending data to and from third party servers, which also helps protect user privacy.

Large language models (LLMs) are powerful tools for generating text, but they are limited by the data they were initially trained on. This means they might struggle to provide specific answers related to unique business processes unless they are further adapted. Fine-tuning is a process used to adapt pre-trained models like Llama, Mistral, or Phi to specialized tasks without the enormous resource demands of training from scratch.

It’s been nearly 6 months since our research into which AI tools software engineers use, in the mini-series, AI tooling for software engineers: reality check. At the time, the most popular tools were ChatGPT for LLMs, and GitHub copilot for IDE-integrated tooling. Then this summer, I saw the Cursor IDE becoming popular around when Anthropic’s Sonnet 3.5 model was released, which has superior code generation compared to ChatGPT.

TL;DR: Landmines pose a persistent threat and hinder development in over 70 war-affected countries. Humanitarian demining aims to clear contaminated areas, but progress is slow: at the current pace, it will take 1,100 years to fully demine the planet. In close collaboration with the UN and local NGOs, we co-develop an interpretable predictive tool for landmine contamination to identify hazardous clusters under geographic and budget constraints, experimentally reducing false alarms and clearance
