Apple is one of the sponsors of this year’s International Conference on Learning Representations, running April 23 through 27 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where it will present dozens of studies. Here’s what to expect.

Full schedule includes demo sessions of the impressive SHARP model

Apple has announced the full schedule of the nearly 60 studies it will showcase at this year’s International Conference on Learning Representations.

One of Apple’s technical demos will showcase the impressive SHARP model, previously covered by 9to5Mac, which can reconstruct photorealistic 3D scenes from a single image in under a second. Apple will run the demo on an iPad Pro with the M5 chip.

Apple’s technical demos will take place at the Apple Booth (#204) during exhibition hours, and they will also include a showcase of “on-device LLM inference on a MacBook Pro with M5 Max using MLX.”

MLX is Apple’s open-source framework built specifically for AI inference on Apple silicon, and the tech demo will run “a quantized frontier coding model entirely locally within Xcode’s native development environment.”
