Apple TV+'s sci-fi drama Invasion has captivated audiences with its gripping narrative and global perspective on an alien invasion. After two thrilling seasons, fans are eager to know: Is Invasion Season 3 happening? Here's everything we know so far. Invasion Season 3 Renewal Status
Good news for fans: Invasion has been officially renewed for a third season by Apple TV+. The renewal was announced on February 13, 2024, via posts on X, with production reportedly starting shortly after. Multiple sources, including TV Insider and Rotten Tomatoes, confirm that Season 3 is in development, signaling Apple's confidence in the series' growing popularity. When Will Invasion Season 3 Premiere?
While an exact premiere date for Invasion Season 3 has not been announced, we can make an educated guess based on the show's production timeline. Filming began in early 2024, and considering the post-production demands of a sci-fi series with heavy visual effects, a release is likely in late 2025 or early 2026. For comparison, Season 1 premiered in October 2021, and Season 2 followed in August 2023. Apple TV+ typically spaces out releases for its major shows, so fans should stay tuned for official updates. Where to Watch Invasion
Invasion Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+. With Season 3 in production, now is the perfect time to catch up on the series before its anticipated return.

Six Ways To Advance Modern Architecture For AI Systems
View of the clouds reflected in the curve glass office building. 3d rendering These days, many engineering teams are coming up against a common problem – basically speaking, the models are too big. This problem comes in various forms, but there's often a connecting thread and a commonality to the challenges. Project are running up against memory constraints. As parameters range into the billions and trillions, data centers have to keep up. Stakeholders have to look out for thresholds in vendor services. Cost is generally an issue. However, there are new technologies on the horizon that can take that memory footprint and compute burden, and reduce them to something more manageable. How are today's innovators doing this? Let's take a look. Input and Data Compression First of all, there is the compression of inputs. You can design a loss algorithm to compress the model, and even run a compressed model versus the full one; compression methodologies are saving space when it comes to specialized neural network function. Here's a snippet from a paper posted at Apple's Machine Learning Research resource: 'Recently, several works have shown significant success in training-free and data-free compression (pruning and quantization) of LLMs achieving 50-60% sparsity and reducing the bit-width down to 3 or 4 bits per weight, with negligible perplexity degradation over the uncompressed baseline.' That's one example of how this can work. This Microsoft document looks at prompt compression, another component of looking at how to shrink or reduce data in systems. The Sparsity Approach: Focus and Variation Sometimes you can carve away part of the system design, in order to save resources. Think about a model where all of the attention areas work the same way. But maybe some of the input area is basically white space, where the rest of it is complex and relevant. Should the model's coverage be homogenous or one-size-fits-all? You're spending the same amount of compute on high and low attention areas. Alternately, people engineering the systems can remove the tokens that don't get a lot of attention, based on what's important and what's not. Now in this part of the effort, you're seeing hardware advances as well. More specialized GPU and multicore processors can have an advantage when it comes to this kind of differentiation, so take a look at everything that makers are doing to usher in a whole new class of GPU gear. Changing Context Strings Another major problem with network size is related to the context windows that systems use. If they are typical large language systems operating on a sequence, the length of that sequence is important. Context means more of certain kinds of functionality, but it also requires more resources. By changing the context, you change the 'appetite' of the system. Here's a bit from the above resource on prompt compression: 'While longer prompts hold considerable potential, they also introduce a host of issues, such as the need to exceed the chat window's maximum limit, a reduced capacity for retaining contextual information, and an increase in API costs, both in monetary terms and computational resources.' Directly after that, the authors go into solutions that might have broad application, in theory, to different kinds of fixes. Dynamic Models and Strong Inference Here are two more big trends right now: one is the emergence of strong inference systems, where the machine teaches itself what to do over time based on its past experience. Another is dynamic systems, where the input weights and everything else changes over time, rather than remaining the same. Both of these have some amount of promise, as well, for helping to match the design and engineering needs that people have when they're building the systems. There's also the diffusion model where you add noise, analyze, and remove that noise to come up with a new generative result. We talked about this last week in a post about the best ways to pursue AI. Last, but not least, we can evaluate traditional systems such as digital twinning. Twinning is great for precise simulations, but it takes a lot of resources – if there's a better way to do something, you might be able to save a lot of compute that way. These are just some of the solutions that we've been hearing about and they dovetail with the idea of edge computing, where you're doing more on an endpoint device at the edge of a network. Microcontrollers and small components can be a new way to crunch data without sending it through the cloud to some centralized location. Think about all of these advances as we sit through more of what people are doing these days with AI.

David Oyelowo on Why He Made It a Priority to Shoot ‘Government Cheese' in Los Angeles
There's a moment in Apple TV+'s 'Government Cheese' where David Oyelowo's character is swallowed by a catfish. 'That's something I didn't have on my dance card, and something I'm sure not a lot of actors can say that they've done,' Oyelowo tells Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast. Tthe phrase that keeps coming up from people is it's unlike anything they've seen. That, in and of itself, is a huge source of pride for me.' But in the surrealist comedy, anything is possible. 'That is definitely part of the joy of both doing it, and I hope watching it, is that you're getting to see scenarios you haven't really seen before,' Oyelowo says. That includes 'seeing a Black family under these circumstances that you haven't seen them in before, but in a familiar time.' More from Variety Brett Goldstein on Working With Michael J. Fox on 'Shrinking,' Returning to 'Ted Lasso' and Preparing His Next Comedy Special: 'It's a Good One!' 'The Amazing Race' Has Won 10 Reality Competition Emmys - But It's Still Not Enough Emmys Acting Contenders: From Pedro Pascal and Diego Luna to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, Who Was Officially Submitted Oyelowo spoke to the Awards Circuit Podcast about 'Government Cheese,' including the unconventional storylines and shooting in the deep San Fernando Valley. He also shared more details on his production company, and what's to come. Listen below! 'Government Cheese' is based on creator Paul Hunter's family and his experiences growing up in California. Oyelowo stars as Hampton Chambers, the patriarch of a family living in southern California's San Fernando Valley in 1969. The Chambers – wife Astoria (Simone Missick) and sons Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Jahi Di'Allo Winston) — are a quirky bunch pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams. The plot kicks off when Hampton is released from prison, and, as the series synopsis explains, his long-awaited family reunion doesn't go quite as he'd planned. During his absence, his wife and kids have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton's return spins their world into chaos. 'The first thing that drew me in was Paul Hunter, the filmmaker,' Oyelowo says. 'When he asked to meet me, I took a bit of a dive into the work he'd done — most of which was seminal music videos that I had watched, not knowing that the same person had done all of these visually stunning, culturally potent, short films.' In the case of 'Government Cheese,' Oyelowo says he also was inspired by the scripts, filled with 'this sort of parabolic, biblical, whimsical, surreal component. Of this guy who's going on a spiritual journey… you're just in his POV, so you have to go along with it. Him being stuck in the belly of a catfish, him finding himself in a flood, him having a death and resurrection experience. These are all biblical references, but they are played as as literal. But because the world is so fantastical, you find yourself going, 'is this real or imagined?' And without any need, as far as we're concerned, to explain that.' As for the location, also inspired by Hunter's upbringing in the Valley, Oyelowo could also relate: He's lived in places like Studio City, Sherman Oaks and Tarzana for nearly 20 years. 'It's incredibly unique as a California location, it has a very specific light and still looks a little bit like it's stuck in the past, depending on where you go,' he says. 'When Apple was talking about, which tax break town or city can we go to? I was like, it has to be the Valley. It has to be the it is a character in this show. The thing I didn't know is how populated by Black people the Valley was back in the day. For Paul, that was his experience growing up in Pacoima, in the Valley in the 60s and 70s. And that was also something unique about the show that I wanted to see.' It also helped that after shooting 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' far from home, Oyelowo was looking to star in something in his backyard. 'We just need more production here in L.A.,' he says. 'We're really, really struggling. And it was really typified by the fact that almost every day, a crew member would come up to me and say, 'Thank you so much for shooting this here. I can't remember the last time I got to shoot in LA, be with my family and get to do a job for six months.' Our industry has been really challenged by the pandemic, the strikes and now the fires. So that was a real joy to be able to do that.' Might there be more 'Government Cheese' to come? 'That's the hope,' he says. 'Gosh, the last time I did seasons of anything was 24 years ago — it was called 'MI-5' here but 'Spooks' in the UK. A spy show, and we did three seasons of that. I have a very voracious and eclectic appetite. so I always like going from one thing to the next. But I loved doing this show. To do more of it would be great.' Oyelowo and his wife Jessica are behind Yoruba Saxon, a production company that has a first-look deal with Apple, where they have several projects in development. 'A big focus for me is the African continent,' he says. 'Over a billion people on that continent, and I feel like streaming has come along and solved the piracy issue. So the excuse of it not being a valid market, I think, has been eroded. We have several projects that are going to be be African, in either in location or in subject matter, which is something I'm deeply proud of.' Oyelowo's upcoming projects include a film about a man coming out of solitary confinement, directed by Nate Parker; as well as a psychological thriller. He is also developing a limited series based on the Chinua Achebe novel 'Things Fall Apart' with Idris Elba (they'll also star together), as well as 'Biafra,' focusing on the civil war in Nigeria, with the BBC. Also on this episode, Brett Goldstein discusses 'Shrinking' and 'Ted Lasso,' as well as his Emmy-contending HBO Max standup special 'Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life,' and whether he's working on his next routine.
