**Make no mistake Google got obliterated by Microsoft’s blitzkrieg attack in the great AI war of 2023**
In the ever-evolving world of technology and artificial intelligence, the battle for supremacy has long been fought between tech giants like Google and Microsoft. However, in the year 2023, it seems that Microsoft’s blitzkrieg attack has dealt a significant blow to Google’s dominance in the field of AI.
GPT 4, the latest and most advanced AI model developed by Microsoft, has captured the zeitgeist of the artificial intelligence age like never before. The capabilities of GPT 4 have been so groundbreaking that people have unironically started using Bing, Microsoft’s search engine, over Google’s search engine. This indicates a significant shift in the balance of power in the AI landscape.
But the war is far from over. Just yesterday, Google unleashed its highly anticipated Gemini model, which has managed to surpass GPT 4 on nearly every benchmark. The battle between these two tech giants is just getting started, and the implications for the future of AI and technology are immense.
It is December 7th, 2023, and you’re watching the Code Report. Gemini, first known to the public earlier this year at Google I/O, is a multimodal large language model that is set to revolutionize the way we interact with AI. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, explained Gemini as a model that applies AI to make AI, rigorously tested with AI.
Like GPT 4, Gemini is also multimodal, meaning it is trained not only on text but also on sound, images, and video. The capabilities demonstrated by Google during its demo are nothing short of mind-blowing. Gemini can recognize and interpret what’s happening in a video feed in real time, it can keep track of elements in an ongoing video feed, and it can generate images and music based on a prompt. The applications of such technology are vast and have implications for various industries, from entertainment to engineering.
Gemini’s abilities in logic and spatial reasoning are also noteworthy. It can analyze and predict the aerodynamics of vehicles based on images and it can even generate blueprints for infrastructure projects. This opens up possibilities for a wide range of professionals, from civil engineers to software engineers. However, the implications for those in the programming field are not entirely positive. Google also unveiled Alpha code 2, an AI model that can outperform 90% of competitive programmers in solving highly complex abstract problems.
While Gemini’s capabilities seem impressive at first glance, skepticism remains about whether these demonstrations are just a marketing sleight of hand from Google. The technical specifications of Gemini are impressive, with three different versions catering to various needs and applications. The Ultra version of Gemini has particularly caught everyone’s attention, outperforming GPT 4 in almost every category and even surpassing human experts in multitask language understanding.
However, Gemini underperforms GPT 4 on the H swag benchmark, which evaluates common-sense natural language understanding. This raises concerns about Gemini’s human-like capabilities, a crucial factor for the acceptance and integration of AI models in various applications.
The technical details of Gemini’s training process are equally impressive. The use of version 5 Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and the training data set comprising a wide array of internet sources and scientific papers showcase the scale and depth of Google’s approach to developing Gemini. However, the availability of the various versions of Gemini on Google Cloud and the timelines for the release of the Ultra version indicate that there are still significant hurdles to overcome before Gemini becomes widely accessible and reliable.
The implications of the great AI war of 2023 and the developments in the field of AI are vast and far-reaching. The competing capabilities of GPT 4 and Gemini have implications for the future of AI in various domains, from consumer technology to scientific research. The advancements in AI models such as Gemini and GPT 4 also point towards a future where AI will play an increasingly pivotal role in our daily lives, from decision-making to creative expression.
As we navigate the evolving landscape of AI, the implications on society, ethics, and policy will become increasingly important. The Code Report will continue to track and analyze these developments to provide insights into the future of AI and technology.
Thank you for watching, and we look forward to bringing you more updates on the great AI war of 2023.
