Apple intensifies talks with OpenAI for iPhone generative AI features

Apple has renewed discussions with OpenAI to use its generative AI technology to power new features coming to the iPhone later this year. The companies were discussing a deal earlier this year, but work between the two parties has been minimal since then. Apple is still in discussions with Google about licensing the Gemini chatbot. It is unclear which provider Apple plans to eventually use.

PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN

New AI training method mitigates the "lost-in-the-middle" problem that plagues LLMs

The lost-in-the-middle phenomenon is currently one of the biggest challenges for LLMs, where they understand information at the beginning and end of a long context but struggle to process information in the middle. This makes LLMs unreliable when evaluating large amounts of data, despite the advantage of having a large output context window.

Google has laid off its Python Foundation team (1 minute read)

Google has asked its recently laid-off Python Foundation team to train its replacements, who will be in the Munich office. The company similarly laid off its finance department a few weeks ago, moving positions outside of the country where they are cheaper. The Python Foundation team maintained a stable version of Python within Google, tools to keep thousands of third-party packages constantly updated from their open source versions, highly customized tools, and much more. It also acted as a help desk for Python users at Google. The team performed its duties for years with fewer than 10 people.
