OpenAI and Google race to launch multimodal LLM plus AI demos with Sunny Madra | E1811
This Week in StartupsMon Sep 18 2023
OpenAI and Google race to launch multimodal LLM plus AI demos with Sunny Madra:
- Zillow took down their GPT-based interface due to concerns about losing business value and customer relationships.
- Fear of GPT becoming the apex aggregator is driving companies to avoid plugins that don't provide direct customer interaction.
- Plugins like ChatGPT Enterprise offer a way for companies to integrate generative AI into their existing applications.
- Canva is an example of a plugin that uses ChatGPT to generate templates for social media posts or graphics.
- The integration between ChatGPT and Canva allows users to request specific templates directly from the chat interface.
- The goal is for plugins like Canva to have their own LLMs that can generate content on the fly, providing more customized results.
All-In Summit 2023 recap:
- The All-In Summit featured world-class speakers who delivered exceptional content and conversations.
- There were discussions about improving future events, including potentially changing ticketing options and venue sizes.
- Hosting large-scale events in cities like LA poses logistical challenges, but efforts were made to provide a great experience for attendees.
Google's chances in the race for multimodal LLM:
- Google has access to vast image and video databases through platforms like Google Images and YouTube, giving them an advantage in multimodal capabilities.
- However, OpenAI's focus on integrating different modalities into a single platform could also position them as a strong competitor.
The potential of sidekick-type applications:
- Sidekicks are overlays on existing applications that leverage context and knowledge from those applications.
- This approach allows for more seamless integration of multimodal prompts without requiring complete application redesigns.
Using Google Search experiments:
- Google search experiments, such as generative search, provide advanced features that enhance the search experience.
- These experiments may need to be enabled within the Google Labs settings or by using a personal Gmail account rather than a Google domain account.
Canva plugin integration with ChatGPT:
- The Canva plugin allows users to request templates for graphics or social media posts directly from the chat interface.
- Users can generate different template options and open them in Canva for further customization.
The future of multimodal UIs:
- There is a need for more specialized UIs that cater to specific use cases, such as interacting with documents or code.
- Improvements in UI design will allow for more natural and efficient interactions with AI models.
Sunny demos Canva’s ChatGPT plugin:
- Trying to put slogans on top of inspirational posters using the plugin
- Not a deep integration, doesn't understand the desired output properly
Discussion on plugins' limitations:
- Lack of understanding of use cases by developers building the plugins
- Plugin architecture is good but needs improvement for better integration
Code LLaMa's potential and Falcon 180B’s unique features:
- Code Llama released as Meta's version of Code Interpreter, made available open source
- Falcon language model has different size models, ranging from 1 billion to 30 billion parameters
- Falcon 180B demo released, UAE involved in its development
- Comparison between parameter sizes of chat GPT4 and Falcon 180B
- Chat GPT4 likely consists of four or five 200 billion parameter models working together
Potential improvements in code-related AI tools:
- Code Llama currently not as good as Code Interpreter based on industry benchmarks, but can improve through modification due to being open source
- Predicted that by January 2024, it will surpass the capability of Code Interpreter
- Distance between chat GPT4 and other models narrowing in certain verticals like code
Implications of reinforcement learning with human feedback:
- Bias introduced by humans during reinforcement learning process
- Humans' biases can affect the performance and training of AI models
AI-enhanced headshots:
- Using AI to turn photos into professional headshots
- Mentioned issues with overly sexualized or racially biased outputs
- Growing trend, with multiple services offering AI-generated headshots at affordable prices
- Cost comparison with traditional professional photography
Closing remarks on This Week in AI:
- Commitment to consistent episodes every Monday
