Building a generalist model for user interface (UI) understanding is challenging due to various foundational issues, such as platform diversity, resolution variation, and data limitation. In this paper, we introduce Ferret-UI 2, a multimodal large language model (MLLM) designed for universal UI understanding across a wide range of platforms, including iPhone, Android, iPad, Webpage, and …

Large language models (LLMs) could be valuable personal AI agents across various domains, provided they can precisely follow user instructions. However, recent studies have shown significant limitations in LLMs’ instruction-following capabilities, raising concerns about their reliability in high-stakes applications. Accurately estimating LLMs’ uncertainty in adhering to instructions is critical to mitigating deployment risks. We present, …

By Cheng Xie, Bryan Shultz, and Christine Xu In a previous blog post, we described how Netflix uses eBPF to capture TCP flow logs at scale for enhanced network insights. In this post, we delve deeper into how Netflix solved a core problem: accurately attributing flow IP addresses to workload identities. A Brief Recap FlowExporter is …

Progress in natural language processing enables more intuitive ways of interacting with technology. For example, many of Apple’s products and services, including Siri and search, use natural language understanding and generation to enable a fluent and seamless interface experience for users. Natural language is a rapidly moving area of machine learning research, and includes work …

Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but face significant challenges in widespread deployment due to their high runtime cost. In this paper, we introduce SeedLM, a novel post-training compression method that uses seeds of a pseudo-random generator to encode and compress model weights. Specifically, for each block of weights, we find a …
