Apple will utilize these archives to train its generative AI offerings in new products. Specifically, the company approached Conde Nast, NBC News, and IAC. These major publishers operate numerous subsidiaries in the news business.

In October, researchers from Apple and Columbia University released an open-source multimodal Large Language Model (LLM) ‘Ferret’. This new model is applied for research purposes only and not for commercial industry.
