Apple and Cornell University have released a multi-modal machine learning model called "Ferret" as an open source. Ferret has the ability to accurately locate and reference elements in images, understand user queries, and give appropriate feedback. This move reflects Apple's more open attitude in the field of artificial intelligence and its investment and emphasis on cutting-edge AI research. This has positive significance for promoting the development of AI technology and the construction of open source communities, and indicates that multi-modal models will have wider applications in the fields of image understanding and information retrieval in the future.
Apple and Cornell University collaborated to release an open source multi-modal machine learning model called "Ferret." Ferret is a system that can reference and position elements anywhere in an image, identifying useful elements in user queries and responding appropriately. This announcement shows Apple’s more open attitude towards its AI work and demonstrates its commitment to impactful AI research.
The open source release of Ferret provides valuable resources for artificial intelligence researchers and developers and helps promote the development of multi-modal machine learning. In the future, we expect Ferret to play a role in more practical application scenarios and bring more convenient and smarter services to users.
