Google claims AI advances with Gemini LLM | Computer Weekly
Summary
The new version of the LLM, formerly known as Bard, is Google’s latest attempt to swing the spotlight of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) away from rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT to the new technology it has developed. In a blog discussing the version, Gemini 1.5, Hassabis talked about “dramatically enhanced performance”, and said it represents a step change in the approach Google takes in developing AI. Another video shows analysis of a 44-minute Buster Keaton movie, where Gemini 1.5 is asked to identify a scene where the main character picks up a piece of paper. In another tweet, Jeff Dean, chief scientist at Google DeepMind, discussed how Gemini 1.5 was able to take a language it had never seen before, Kalamang, spoken by the people Western New Guinea, and learn how to translate it into English. Depending on the type of input given, he said MoE models learn to selectively activate only the most relevant expert pathways in its neural network.
