苹果洽谈AI初创公司，欲将更大模型引入iPhone

Apple is reportedly in discussions with an artificial intelligence startup specializing in compressing large language models, a technology that could allow far more capable AI systems to run directly on the iPhone without relying heavily on cloud servers. The talks reflect one of the biggest technical challenges facing the AI industry today. While the most powerful language models continue growing in size and capability, smartphones remain constrained by memory, battery life, and thermal limits. Compressing those models without significantly reducing their performance has become one of the industry’s most valuable research areas. For Apple, whose AI strategy emphasizes on-device processing and privacy, such technology could become a critical building block for the next generation of Apple Intelligence. …
