A new paper published by Apple researchers says they’ve developed a method that “paves the way for effective inference of LLMs on devices with limited memory.” This should allow powerful AI models to run on handheld devices with less computing power.
While Apple has been relatively quiet about its plans for AI, rumors suggest Apple is readying a ton of new AI-powered features for the iPhone, and its research paper only points toward this goal.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says Airbnb has “acknowledged” that it displayed US dollar amounts for some Australian customers from January 2018 to August 2021. That led some users to pay more than what they had expected:
The Airbnb platform was meant to operate so that consumers accessing the platform in Australia who had not manually selected otherwise would be shown prices in Australian dollars. However, the platform did not operate in this way for some Australian consumers and some consumers were shown prices and charged in US dollars.
Airbnb started clearly displaying “USD” labels in 2021 and will compensate customers who were overcharged.
