Title:Google's Gemini is the new AI model really better than ChatGPT?
Google Deepmind has recently announced Gemini, its new AI model to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. While both models are examples of "generative AI", which learn to find patterns of input training information to generate new data (pictures, words or other media), ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) which focuses on producing text. In the same way that ChatGPT is a web app for conversations that is based on the neural network know as GPT (trained on huge amounts of text), Google has a conversational web app called Bard which was based on a model called LaMDA (trained on dialogue). But Google is now upgrading that based on Gemini.
What distinguishes Gemini from earlier generative AI models such as LaMDA is that it’s a “multi-modal model”. This means that it works directly with multiple modes of input and output: as well as supporting text input and output, it supports images, audio and video. Accordingly, a new acronym is emerging: LMM (large multimodal model), not to be confused with LLM.
In September, OpenAI announced a model called GPT-4Vision that can work with images, audio and text as well. However, it is not a fully multimodal model in the way that Gemini promises to be
For example, while ChatGPT-4, which is powered by GPT-4V, can work with audio inputs and generate speech outputs, OpenAI has confirmed that this is done by converting speech to text on input using another deep learning model called Whisper. ChatGPT-4 also converts text to speech on output using a different model, meaning that GPT-4V itself is working purely with text.
Likewise, ChatGPT-4 can produce images, but it does so by generating text prompts that are passed to a separate deep learning model called Dall-E 2, which converts text denoscriptions into images.
In contrast, Google designed Gemini to be “natively multimodal”. This means that the core model directly handles a range of input types (audio, images, video and text) and can directly output them too. The distinction between these two approaches might seem academic, but it’s important. The general conclusion from Google’s technical report and other qualitative tests to date is that the current publicly available version of Gemini, called Gemini 1.0 Pro, is not generally as good as GPT-4, and is more similar in its capabilities to GPT 3.5.

Title:-When it comes to generative AI in the enterprise, CIOs are taking it slow
To hear the hype from vendors, you would think that enterprise buyers are all in when it comes to generative AI. But like any newer technology, large companies tend to move cautiously. Throughout this year, as vendors feverishly announced new generative AI-fueled products, CIOs took note.
Some companies have actually been looking to cut back on spending, or at least stay even, not necessarily looking for new ways to spend money. The big exception is when technology enables companies to operate more efficiently, and do more with less. Generative AI certainly has the potential to do that, but it also has its own costs associated with it, whether it’s a higher cost for these features in a SaaS product or the price for hitting a large language model API if you’re building your own software internally.
Either way, it’s important for the folks implementing the technology to understand if they are getting a return on their investment. A July Morgan Stanley survey of large company CIOs found that many were proceeding cautiously, with 56% of respondents reporting that generative AI was having an impact on their investment priorities, but only 4% had actually launched significant projects. In fact, most were still in the evaluation or proof of concept phase. This may be a fast moving area, but it fits with what we’re hearing in conversations with CIOs as well.
That said, much like the consumerization of IT a decade ago, CIOs are under pressure to deliver the kind of experiences people are seeing when they play with ChatGPT online, says Jon Turow, a partner at Madrona Ventures.
“I think it’s undeniable that enterprise employees, who are the internalcustomers of the CIO or CTO, have all tried ChatGPT and they know what amazing looks like. They know where it’s early, and they know where it’s inspiring, and for lack of a better word, where they see greatness. And so CIOs are under pressure to deliver that level,” Turow told TechCrunch.
It has created a tension between this desire to please the internal customers, especially when some of that pressure could be coming from the CEO, and a CIO’s natural tendency to move cautiously, even with something as potentially transformative as generative AI. That’s going to take setting up some structure and organization around how this gets implemented over time, says Jim Rowan, principal at Deloitte, who is working with clients around how to build generative AI across companies in an organized fashion.
“A lot of the way we’re working with companies is thinking about what is the infrastructure that they need to be successful. By infrastructure, I don’t necessarily mean technology, but who are the people, what are the processes and the governance…and giving them the capabilities to set that up,” Rowan said. A big part of that is talking about use cases and how to use the technology to address a given problem.

Title: Gmail’s new ‘Package Tracking’ feature is built for shopaholics: Offers package delay updates
Gmail's Package Tracking feature, which was introduced last year, will now show users the new delivery date if their package gets delayed and bump up the associated email to the top.
In November last year, Google added a new feature to Gmail called ‘Package Tracking’ that lets users track their packages and get delivery information without opening the email. Now, the app will automatically bump emails to the top of the inbox if the delivery date changes.
The information will appear on the main page below the email’s subject in orange on Gmail’s Inbox page. This can come in handy since users will no longer have to scour their inbox to find out how many days it will take for their delivery to arrive.
The app will also inform the user about the store’s return policy on the package tracking card along with the link to their return guidelines. However, this information might not be available for every product since it depends on the vendor.
For Gmail to track your packages, the feature needs to be manually enabled from Gmail settings. To do so, simply head over to the ‘Settings’ page and enable the option named ‘ Turn on package tracking’.

Meta releases free-of-charge AI model to challenge Microsoft, Google
Facebook owner Meta has released a new and free-of-charge version of its artificial intelligence [AI] model, making a play against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Google.
OpenAI and Google have developed impressive large language models that serve as the foundations of the ChatGPT and Bard chatbots, which have drawn excitement with their capabilities to mimic human creativity and expertise.
Meta, meanwhile, has avoided releasing generative AI products straight to the consumer and instead developed Llama, a language model specifically developed for researchers so that they could perfect it.
Crucially, Llama is open-source, meaning that its inner workings are available to all to be tinkered with and modified, unlike the headline-grabbing AIs developed by OpenAI and Google.
Those models, including OpenAI's world-leading GPT-4, are closed and proprietary, with the clients that use them denied access to their programming code or detailed answers as to how their data is handled.
"Open-source drives innovation because it enables many more developers to build with new technology," Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
"It also improves safety and security because when software is open, more people can scrutinise it to identify and fix potential issues," he added.
The stress on safety also underlines a divergence from OpenAI's models, which have caused alarm by generating false information or by going off the rails in chatbot interactions.
The new, more powerful version of Meta's model, called Llama 2, would be available to any business for download or through Microsoft's Azure cloud service in a special partnership with the Windows maker.
This would be a significant price hike for its business customers and could potentially lead to a vast increase in revenue for Microsoft if AI is seen as a necessary cost going forward. For Meta, a flourishing open-source ecosystem of AI tech built using its models could stymie rivals' plans to earn revenue off their proprietary technology, the value of which would evaporate if developers could use equally powerful open-source systems for free.
A leaked internal Google memo noscriptd "We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI" lit up the tech world in May after it forecasted such a scenario.
Meta is also betting that it will benefit from the advancements, bug fixes and products that may grow out of its model, becoming the go-to default for AI innovation, as it has over the past several years with its widely-adopted open source AI framework PyTorch.
As a social media company, Zuckerberg told investors in April, Meta has more to gain by effectively crowd-sourcing ways to reduce infrastructure costs and maximise the creation of new consumer-facing tools that might draw people to its ad-supported services than it does by charging for access to its models.
"Unlike some of the other companies in the space, we're not selling a cloud computing service where we try to keep the different software infrastructure that we're building proprietary," Zuckerberg said.
"For us, it's way better if the industry standardises on the basic tools that we're using, and therefore we can benefit from the improvements that others make." https://www.trtworld.com/science-and-tech/meta-releases-free-of-charge-ai-model-to-challenge-microsoft-google-14099079

Microsoft and Suno have announced a partnership, as stated in the blog:
You don't need to be able to sing, play an instrument, or read music to bring your musical ideas to life
