Apple's work in robotics has been impressive so far, but consumers will have to wait until 2028 at the earliest to be able to buy an Apple robot.Apple's lamp robot concept - Image credit: Apple Machine Learning ResearchApple's development in robotics has been long-running, and has recently resulted in the demonstration of one novel prototype in a video. However, there's still a long way to to before anyone will be able to buy an Apple robot in some form.In a Wednesday X post, TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo offered that Apple is actively working on robots for the smart home, both in non-humanoid and in humanoid form. So far, they are still in an internal proof-of-concept stage, rather than anything the public can even consider using. Rumor Score: Possible Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

This includes both the storage for the models trainable parameters and the memory needed for the intermediate values generated during inference, which result from the input interacting with the parameters. As models grow larger, both the computational and memory requirements increase drastically.For a computer, memory is ultimately measured in bits. One way to optimize memory usage is by changing how numbers are represented within the model. This technique, known as quantization, reduces the precision of numbers to save space and improve efficiency. Before diving into quantization, lets first explore the different ways numbers can be represented in a computer.The parameter values in a model are very commonly represented Read the full blog for free on Medium.Join thousands of data leaders on the AI newsletter.

Returnal studio heads to a "hostile, shape-shifting planet" for newly unveiled SarosComing to PS5 next year.Image credit: Housemarque/Sony News by Matt Wales News Reporter Published on Feb. 12, 2025 Housemarque, the studio behind the sublime likes of Nex Machina and Returnal, has unveiled Saros - a third-person action game that's coming to PS5 next year.Details on Saros are slim right now, but we do know it's a single-player game set on a "hostile, shape-shifting planet, haunted by an ominous eclipse." It stars The Fall of the House of Usher's Rahul Kohli in the lead role, with its gameplay said to build on the third-person action seen in Housemarque's critically acclaimed Returnal.Saros' cinematic announcement trailer, which incongruously opens with the sound of laughing children, sees Kohli waking on a beach beneath a shrouded alien sun, only to encounter a terrifying multi-limbed creature rising from beneath the pitch-black water. "Every time the sun dies," Kohli's character intones in voiceover, "madness reigns, then everything begins again. But after every death, I always come back stronger."Watch on YouTubeThat final sentence - reflected in the game's Come Back Stronger tagline - certainly implies Housemarque will be revisiting the roguelite structure seen in 2021's acclaimed Returnal (and the bullet hell swirl of Kohli's subsequently unloading weapon is a classic Housemarque touch), but whether Saros has anything more than a spiritual connection to Returnal remains to be seen.Saros launches next year for PlayStation with PS5 Pro enhancements also promised, and Housemarque says it'll be sharing a first look at gameplay later this year.
