APPLE

🍎Apple Subtly Implements AI into Existing Products

As companies publicize significant transformations with tailored AI models, Apple subtly implements emerging technology to improve essential functions in new products.

Key Details:
  • During Apple’s iPhone 15 event, Apple didn’t mention AI advancements during product announcements, unlike rivals like Microsoft and Google.

  • Instead, Apple highlighted AI-related iPhone 15 improvements like enhanced noise cancellation, blurring portraits, and predictive text.

  • The Series 9 Watch featured improved data crunching ability through a four-core “Neural Engine” that can process machine learning tasks twice as quickly.

Why It’s Important:
  • Apple is presenting a conservative approach to AI by enhancing new features in existing products with machine learning hardware updates.

  • Instead of placing AI ambitions at the forefront of development like Microsoft or Google, Apple is implementing a subtle approach by constructing data sources and building AI models to rival market offerings in private.

MICROSOFT

🧬Microsoft Open Sources EvoDiff

This week, Microsoft revealed EvoDiff, a general-purpose framework that generates high-fidelity, diverse proteins given a protein sequence.

Key Details:
  • EvoDiff doesn’t require any structural information about the target protein, removing the most laborious step.

  • EvoDiff can be used as an open-source tool to create enzymes for new therapeutics, drug delivery methods, and industrial chemical reactions.

  • Microsoft’s Senior Researcher, Kevin Yang, explained: “We envision EvoDiff will expand capabilities in protein engineering beyond the structure-function paradigm and towards a programmable, sequence-first design.” In other words, EvoDiff only requires a protein sequence to design new proteins.

  • The EvoDiff framework is a 640-million-parameter model trained on data from different species and functional classes of proteins.

Why It’s Important:
  • Proteins, the natural molecules that carry out essential bodily functions, are the building blocks of all diseases.

  • Characterizing proteins can reveal disease mechanisms and generate new classes of drugs and therapeutics. However, the current process for designing proteins is costly. It entails developing a protein structure that performs a specific task within the body and then finding a protein sequence.

  • EvoDiff is an open-source framework that leverages AI to generate proteins solely based on their sequence. This revolutionary approach to protein engineering eliminates the need for structural information.
