While we are still tracking a $150 price drop on the 24GB M4 Mac mini, today we are turning our attention to some big-time price drops on MacBook Air. The latest M4 models are $150 off in select colors and storage capacities, but we also spotted some select M3 models for folks who don’t need the latest and greatest at $400 off the list prices. We are then highlighting the most affordable current-generation iPad down at $299 in three colors alongside some accessories – the Apple 20W USB-C Power A

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-02 02:59:45

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o. But Apple just released two papers that show how there might be room for a third, forgotten technique: Normalizing Flows. And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows? Normalizing Flows (NFs) are a type of AI model that works by learning

Scientists Just Found Something Unbelievably Grim About Pollution Generated by AI

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-02 21:00:45

Tech companies are hellbent on pushing out ever more advanced artificial intelligence models — but there appears to be a grim cost to that progress. In a new study in the science journal Frontiers in Communication, German researchers found that large language models (LLM) that provide more accurate answers use exponentially more energy — and hence produce more carbon — than their simpler and lower-performing peers. In other words, the findings are a grim sign of things to come for the environme

Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threats

Why Some AI Models Spew 50 Times More Greenhouse Gas to Answer the Same Question

Like it or not, large language models have quickly become embedded into our lives. And due to their intense energy and water needs, they might also be causing us to spiral even faster into climate chaos. Some LLMs, though, might be releasing more planet-warming pollution than others, a new study finds. Queries made to some models generate up to 50 times more carbon emissions than others, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Communication. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly,
