Despite the continual presumption that Apple is behind the industry in AI, it keeps publishing comprehensive research papers on the subject. In 2025 alone, it’s most significant studies have covered how AI cannot reason, but can uncover bugs in code.
Now the researchers have published “Pico-Banana-400K: A Large-Scale Dataset for Text-Guided Image Editing.” It’s explicitly concerned with how to better train AI systems to edit images following text prompts.
