"Apple's Advanced AI Model Revolutionizes Siri's Understanding of iOS Apps"

Apple's new Ferret-UI multimodal large language model (MLLM) could enable Siri to understand the layout of iOS apps, potentially enhancing the capabilities of the digital assistant. The model, detailed in a recent paper from Cornell University, is designed to comprehend and interact effectively with user interface (UI) screens, including a magnification system to upscale images and significant curation of data for training. This advancement offers the potential for Siri to perform actions within apps and assist visually impaired users by explaining on-screen details and carrying out actions upon request.
