Apple trained a large language model to efficiently understand long-form video

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-11-04 16:27:48

Apple researchers have developed an adapted version of the SlowFast-LLaVA model that beats larger models at long-form video analysis and understanding. Here’s what that means. The nerdy bits Very basically, when an LLM is trained to also understand video, it learns to split videos into frames, apply computer vision to extract visual features, analyze how those features change over time, and align all of that with language so it can describe or reason about the video in the form of text.

GPT-5 usage limitations: what are they, how does this compare to GPT-4 family?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-11-07 03:00:51

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority GPT-5 arrived a few weeks ago, though its rollout hasn’t been entirely smooth. While the model shows plenty of promise, its debut also meant the abrupt removal of every other GPT model from ChatGPT’s user-facing UI. Since then, some old models have returned, and there have been a few other changes to the way the system works. Furthermore, many of the initial GPT-5 usage limits have been temporarily enhanced since launch. Let’s dive in and take a closer look
