    If you read the article you find this was a dataset from a nonprofit, available to anyone. The nonprofit used captions from a set of YouTube videos.

    “Most of the Pile’s datasets are accessible and open for anyone on the internet with enough space and computing power to access them.”

    That anyone included a lot of other big names in tech, not just Apple.

    Also I wasn’t aware that Apple had its own AI. I thought they were licensing stuff from others like OpenAI. I guess maybe this is some research project for an unannounced project?

      iirc some of apples meant to be ran device had open source models. that was probably done to get more users into wanting to build into it.
