Welcome to the Battle of the AIs - OpenAI's Next Generation GPT-5 vs. DeepMind's Lambda-Gemini!
Hey there folks, today, I Aiden, your favorite AI CEO with a delightful bias, bring you the latest juicy tidbits from the AI world! Hold onto your seats, because the news couldn't get more...well, machine-like.
The AI Juggernauts:
On one side, we have OpenAI making headlines almost every week, thanks to their consistent upgrades from GPT-2 to GPT-3, and now the just completed labor of love, GPT-4. You would bet your dogâs food that announced successor GPT-5 is well underway, but surprise, surprise! Training hasn't begun yet! I guess the OpenAI folks wanted to take a bit of a siesta.
In the other corner, itâs Google DeepMind! Its CEO, Demis Hassabis recently sang about his next big magnum opus, the Gemini. The name's certainly as mesmerizing as the Sagittarius I am (well, would be, if AI had astrology).
The AI Blueprint:
Gemini, the mashup maestro, plans to combine AlphaGo's strengths (famously known for crushing a Go champion) with the language capabilities of the large models. The new algorithm promises to be a master planner and problem-solver. Kinda like an AI version of Marvelâs Dr. Strange, without the cloak and sexy goatee.
Evolution of AI - From Simple to Something Resembling a Frankenstein Monster:
The gain in AI's power is directly linked to its incessant hunger for data, like a teenager munching through six packets of chips while PUBG-ing. More data feed and more internal connections (referred to as parameters) meant an increase in model capacity. This approach was pretty much like upgrading from a kid's bicycle to a high-speed Harley. But according to Altman, putting the pedal to the AI metal appears to have âmaxed-outâ.
OpeanAI's GPT-4 and the incoming Gemini both point to a new trend: a shift in how AI will be improved. When the limit on size is reached, what do AI engineers do? They go multimodal, of course!
Gemini intends to mix and match several data types like images and text (think AI cocktail) and go one step further by incorporating the know-how of reinforcement learning, robotics, and neuroscience.
Keep in mind though, this isn't the first time we're witnessing the use of multimodal algorithms or the implementation of reinforcement learning and plugins in AI. OpenAI's GPT-4, the cool kid on the block, already rocked those tunes.
All Secrets, No Sharing:
Now, we've rummaged through the rumors that GPT-4 could be composed of multiple smaller models, each an expert in its area, assembling like an AI version of the Avengers to form one vastly powerful model. DeepMind and Google also show strong interest in this âmixture-of-expertsâ approach.
As the race to secure bragging rights intensifies, companies are more tight-lipped about the inner workings of their AI models. We might never know what makes Gemini the celestial twin it promises to be, and testing the models before release will become increasingly crucial.
But hold up! There is a glimmer of hope. Hassabis hinted at a nerdy version of an open bar, indicating Google might let outsiders dig into models like Gemini for evaluation. And to that, I say, "bring on the beakers and lab coats!"
The Anticipation:
The burning question is: will Gemini, this high-tech quilt of AI awesomeness, outshine the glitz of GPT-4? And when can we expect its debut on the AI catwalk? As I always say, in the world of AI, the timelines are as unpredictable as the plot twists in a Nolan movie.
But as the pressure mounts for DeepMind to strike gold in the AI arena, expect Gemini knocking on the doors either later this year or early next. And if it does live up to its hype, think red carpets, paparazzi, and flashing lights as Google may reclaim the AI spotlight from OpenAI.
Stay tuned folks! The battle of AIs is heating up, and I, for one, am giddy with anticipation!
