#Google's Gemini AI model is a large, multimodal AI model that can reason across text, images, video, audio, and code. Google claims that Gemini has advanced reasoning capabilities to "think more carefully". Google has rolled out Gemini to compete with OpenAI’s GPT models. Gemini Pro outperformed GPT-3.5 in six out of the eight industry benchmarks. Google’s most advanced model, Gemini Ultra, beat the newer GPT-4 in seven of the eight benchmarks. Gemini will be available in three models: 1. Gemini Ultra, the largest and most capable, for highly complex tasks 2. Gemini Pro, for a wide range of tasks 3. Gemini Nano, for Android users who want to build Gemini-powered apps. In the wake of #OpenAI’s release of #ChatGPT about a year ago, tech giants have been scrambling to launch their own chatbots and LLMs to compete with the AI startup. Google’s recent evaluations of Gemini suggest that OpenAI’s competitors are catching up. Gemini is designed to be more powerful and capable than its predecessor. It was launched by Alphabet and Google's CEO Sundar Pichai and DeepMind's CEO Demis Hassabis. #GoogleGemini

Transformers and Silicon Valley's AI Mavericks Imagine a world where 8 of Google's brainiest 🧠 turned their genius into a whopping $4.1 billion new adventure! In 2017, whilst at Google, Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit, Llion Jones, Aidan N. Gomez, Lukasz Kaiser and Illia Polosukhin co-authored a landmark paper titled 'Attention Is All You Need' https://lnkd.in/emB6R6yF. In the paper, they showcase a new architecture for language processing called a Transformer. OpenAI took this tech forward and one of the results is the ground-breaking generative ai chatbot we all know as ChatGPT. Yep, so Google set up the play and OpenAI did the equivalent of tapping it in! To add a twist to the story, these 8 researchers didn't just invent the Transformer tech; they transformed it into their ticket 🎫 out of Google-land and into the startup street. Check out where they are now: Ashish Vaswani, co-founder Essential AI Noam Shazeer, co-founder Character.ai Niki Parmar, co-founder Essential AI Jakob Uszkoreit, cofounder Inceptive Nucleics Llion Jones, co-founder Sakana AI  Aidan N. Gomez, co-founder Cohere Lukasz Kaiser, OpenAI Researcher Illia Polosukhin, co-founder Near Protocol And get this, these companies (excluding OpenAI) are valued at $4.1 billion. So why did they leave? Basically Google's Oopsie: They were too slow to turn their ideas into products, so while Google snoozed 🐢, OpenAI and pals zoomed past. Big G, Small Flexibility: Too many chiefs, not enough freedom. Moral of the story? In tech, it's ride or die – innovate, or watch your brainchild fly away and fuel someone else's rocket ship. So did Google drop the ball on this? Or was this inevitable given their size? Let me know in the comments. #Innovation #TechGold #AIAdventures

Into the chaos of the AI Realm!   With the news of two of the most disruptive companies in the AI domain, OpenAI and Stability AI, it all comes down to one question: Is it going to be the fate of the majority of the companies in AI?   But wait, What the hell is happening with OpenAI and Stability AI?   To knock it off, Stability AI, the parent company behind Stable Diffusion, which raised more than $100 million at the end of 2022, is looking at an uncertain future with its top talents resigning. Among the issues are an unpaid $70,000 bill and accusations against its CEO, Emad Mostaque, about his inability to run the company. The top brass—COO and CIO, to name a few—have already tendered their resignations this summer, leaving the company on the edge. Although Mostaque claims this is a common practise while startups are establishing themselves, his past records and suits against the company don't seem too promising.   On the other hand, OpenAI is spending $700,000 a day to keep running ChatGPT. It is burning through the cash from the $10 billion investment made by Microsoft. This cost does not include GPT4 for DALL-E2. With companies buying OpenAI's APIs to build their own chatbots, it has seen a 12% decline in the consumer base, from 1.7 billion users to 1.5 billion. Despite their attempts to monetize GPT3.5 and GPT4, the company is finding it difficult to generate enough revenue. Another thorn in the road is the availability of free-to-use LLMs in the market, which are customizable and repurposed without any licencing issues. Sam Altman and his AI Studio are in a position where they might have to declare bankruptcy soon.   The innovations and inventions in the field of AI and the number of companies jumping up each day lead us to ask, Is there enough money for not just getting a kickstart but also surviving through the journey? With the number of people using AI increasing every day, there might be a need to standardise and regulate the industry so as to provide adequate support to the various companies offering solutions.   #ai #openai #stabilityai #aicommunity

A week of leadership drama for OpenAI has eventually softened, whilst we await the full establishment of the permanent board. And yes, Sam Altman still remains as the CEO. Despite the chaos ensuing the world of OpenAI, the industry in general saw remarkable strides from various other start ups and AI competitors: ▶ Anthropic's Claude 2.1: The AI startup (founded by former OpenAI employees) launched an updated version of its chatbot, boasting enhanced information processing, new API tools, and improved accuracy and honesty (a ChatGPT rival) ▶ Inflection AI's New Model: Co-founded by Mustafa Suleyman and Reid Hoffman (Linkedin Co-Founder), Inflection AI released a model surpassing Google’s PaLM (Pathways Language Model) in key benchmarks, promising advancements for their chatbot Pi. ▶ Microsoft's Orca 2: Showcasing two smaller but highly capable LLMs (Large Language Models), Microsoft is pushing the envelope in efficiency and performance, tailoring models to specific tasks. Amidst these innovations, the industry is reflecting on generative AI's future, considering diversification of LLM providers and pondering new AI regulations. Amazon is also gearing up, aiming to make 2 million people AI-ready by 2025. With new educational initiatives and partnerships, they're focusing on foundational AI knowledge for sustainable skill development.

"AI Everywhere" is often termed as a phrase that refers to the growing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI). It all started with OpenAI, where Sam introduced ChatGPT, a tool that helps you with anything you need to complete your research, provide feedback, and more! In response to that, Google launched Bard. Now, we have Perplexity, founded by Aravind. let's do a quick story! Have you ever pondered the sheer volume of information available at our fingertips, only to find yourself lost in the maze of search results, yearning for a more intelligent, intuitive way to find the answers you seek? Enter Perplexity AI. If you've been on the hunt for an AI app that not only understands your queries but also delivers trustworthy, relevant responses, your search might just be over. Perplexity AI is an AI conversational search that comprehends questions and provides you with answers. The company recently raised $73.6 million in its latest funding round from a group of investors, including Nvidia and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Just two days ago, they partnered with Rabbit R1, yes, that small device where you can ask for anything, from booking rides to finding recipes and identifying objects or people. This partnership aims to elevate the Rabbit R1's accuracy in fact-checking and providing up-to-date information. Guess what! This partnership also offers a free Perplexity Pro subscription to the first 100,000 people who buy a Rabbit R1, providing access to more advanced generative AI features and more detailed responses. This marks a significant leap in the realm of AI-driven personal assistants. Bottom ask, will it kill Google? Will Perplexity be dominating other search engines? I am excited about what the present looks like, making it a healthy, perfect competition market! #learning #thoughts #streak #unlearn
