Apple launches third-gen Foundation Models to fuse on-device intelligence with private cloud

Apple unveils the third generation of its Foundation Models (AFM 3), spanning on-device (AFM 3 Core and AFM 3 Core Advanced) and server-based options (AFM 3 Cloud, ADM 3 Cloud, AFM 3 Cloud Pro), all designed with privacy at the core and deeply integrated into Apple operating systems. A key advance is AFM 3 Core Advanced’s sparsely activated architecture (IFP), which runs most weights from flash and loads small expert subsets into DRAM to deliver multimodal capabilities on Apple silicon. Server models leverage Private Cloud Compute (with NVIDIA GPUs for Cloud Pro) to boost speed, reasoning, and image generation. Apple emphasizes responsible AI, extensive evaluations showing strong gains over prior generations, and states that user data is not used for training. A technical report with more details is planned for later this summer.

The Physics Gap Keeping Humanoid Robots From Everyday Dexterity

Despite big advances in deep learning, actuation, and multimodal AI, humanoid robots still struggle with basic tasks like stairs and doors because they haven’t mastered physics and force control; experts say progress will come from a tighter integration of hardware (tactile sensing and compliant hands) and learning-based control, rather than purely more data or bigger models.
