COMPETITION IS RAGING AFTER CHATGPT GEMINI WINS BUT HOW FAR ? | |
OpenAI will make history, dated November 30, 2022, as the company that ushered in the ability for humanity to engage with a computer as naturally as they would with a friend, colleague, confidant, or assistant. Its chat agent, ChatGPT, perfected by various updates of its innovative language model (LLM), GPT, and benefiting from the crucial support of the giant Microsoft, is used by 100 million people every week. However, competition is making itself heard. Google DeepMind unveiled its own artificial intelligence tool called Gemini on Wednesday, December 6. In its most powerful version, initial evaluations of the machine suggest that it outperforms GPT-4, and even some human experts, based on the MMLU test evaluating AI abilities in law, math, and even physics. Performances that ChatGPT's first rivals, from Claude (Anthropic) to Mistral via Llama (Meta), Ernie or Grok, the AI designed by Elon Musk's teams, have never managed to match, no more than Google itself with Bard. The second try seems to be the right one: Gemini raises the level significantly. In a video that is as promising as it is confusing, he manages to suggest different knits based on a photo showing two balls of wool placed on a table. The program recognizes a guitar or a duck from a simple hand sketch, or understands that a man bending backwards while waving his arms imitates the famous scene from The Matrix where Neo dodges bullets from the Agent Smith. It is no longer necessary to write to him. Tomorrow we will show and talk to the AI, which will understand and guide us, not only on computers but also on Google's latest "Pixel" phones. A new “nano” version promises to work without access to the Internet or the cloud, thus revolutionizing cloud computing. Attention is now turning to GPT-5, expected in 2024. The AI race between Google DeepMind and OpenAI is currently between these two giants. Three factors are decisive for the future of generative AI: power calculation, data and financial means The first wave of enthusiasm generated by generative artificial intelligence (AI) was unprecedented. Just two months after its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT already had 100 million users. Internet searches for “artificial intelligence” have exploded; more than $40 billion of venture capital was invested in AI companies in the first half of this year alone. Towards a second phase of development However, a second, more serious phase is currently underway. A whole new industry, based on super-powerful AI models, is starting to take shape. Three strategic elements will determine its future shape and indicate whether OpenAI will maintain its dominance or whether other players will take the lead. Other approaches include attracting software developers by offering tools to create products based on their models. OpenAI offers tools to help them create products using its models; Meta, Facebook's company, hopes that LlamA, its open source model, will help create a loyal community of programmers. Wishing that the AI does not slip up very quickly !!.... |
