On Device Llama 3.1 with Core ML

Many app developers are interested in building on device experiences that integrate increasingly capable large language models (LLMs). Running these models locally on Apple silicon enables developers to leverage the capabilities of the user’s device for cost-effective inference, without sending data to and from third party servers, which also helps protect user privacy. In order to do this, the models must be carefully optimized to effectively utilize the available system resources, because LLMs often have high demands for both memory and processing power.
This technical post details how to…

Multimodal Large Language Models with Fusion Low Rank Adaptation for Device Directed Speech Detection

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise for human-like conversations, they are primarily pre-trained on text data. Incorporating audio or video improves performance, but collecting large-scale multimodal data and pre-training multimodal LLMs is challenging. To this end, we propose a Fusion Low Rank Adaptation (FLoRA) technique that efficiently adapts…

CAMPHOR: Collaborative Agents for Multi-Input Planning and High-Order Reasoning On Device

While server-side Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate proficiency in tool integration and complex reasoning, deploying Small Language Models (SLMs) directly on devices brings opportunities to improve latency and privacy but also introduces unique challenges for accuracy and memory. We introduce CAMPHOR, an innovative on-device SLM multi-agent framework designed to handle…
