Apple is expanding its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) infrastructure beyond its own data centers, partnering with Google and NVIDIA. This expansion allows Apple Intelligence workloads to run on Google Cloud, utilizing NVIDIA GPUs and Google's confidential computing technologies. The move aims to extend Apple's stringent privacy and security commitments to third-party cloud environments for more complex AI tasks. AI

Apple's research paper explores the mechanisms behind compositional generalization in conditional diffusion models, particularly focusing on how these models handle generating images with more objects than trained on. The study identifies 'local conditional scores' as a key factor enabling this ability, demonstrating that models succeeding at length generalization exhibit these scores, while those that fail do not. The research also proposes a method to enforce these local scores, which successfully enabled length generalization in a previously underperforming model. AI
