Apple Eyes PrismML for On-Device AI on iPhone

Apple is reportedly interested in PrismML, a startup focused on running large AI models directly on iPhones without needing servers. PrismML has successfully shrunk an open-source large language model called Qwen 3.6, which has 27 billion parameters, to run on an iPhone 17 Pro. This is a significant achievement because most mobile AI models only use a few billion parameters. PrismML plans to release its open-source model soon, and it's capable of tasks like software development. Apple has already met with PrismML to discuss potential uses for its technology. This could mean more powerful AI capabilities directly on your Apple devices.
