The AI race has begun. The big guns of tech industry are opening their coffers to develop a constrant stream of AI Tools with various catchy names and models.
Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI, and it has invested billions in the ChatGPT maker, but it's also reportedly building its own AI model that is separate from OpenAI's.
OpenAI's ChatGPT burst onto the AI scene in November 2022. Since then, it's launched a few updated versions of its flagship model, including GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4 Turbo.Google
Google's AI chatbot is called Gemini and it was launched in March 2023.
Meta has an AI assistant called Meta AI, which is run on its open-source LLM called Llama. The AI tool is embedded into its platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta's video-generating tool, Make-A-Video, was announced in 2022.
Amazon's reportedly building an LLM called Olympus to remain competitive in the AI race. It's developing Olympus with the goal of embedding it into its online store and Alexa smart speakers, The Information reported last year.
With the current trend, there are no signs that it will slow down any time soon. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Google all announced some new features last May and ae expected to spend billions more to roll out more products and AI jargons.
Business Insider has compiled a guide to bring everyone up to speed on what AI products tech's heavy hitters offer, and some of the times the rollouts haven't gone according to plan. Here are the major ones:
Microsoft
Microsoft has a partnership with OpenAI, and it has invested billions in the ChatGPT maker, but it's also reportedly building its own AI model that is separate from OpenAI's.
The in-house AI model called MAI-1 is said to be trained using a public dataset and text from ChatGPT, a source told The Information. The project's being overseen by Mustafa Suleyman, the recently appointed CEO of Microsoft AI, the report added.
The company has a text-to-image generator called Microsoft Designer, which launched last year after being tested in December 2022.
At the Microsoft Build developer conference in May, CEO Satya Nadella unveiled the company's latest generative AI offerings, including updates to its AI chatbot Copilot. It also unveiled Team Copilot, a work-productivity tool that brings its AI agent to workplace chats and meetings within Microsoft Teams.
OpenAI
OpenAI's ChatGPT burst onto the AI scene in November 2022. Since then, it's launched a few updated versions of its flagship model, including GPT-3, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4 Turbo.
Some users criticized the GPT-4 version as being a "lazier" and "dumber" model compared with earlier ones, in terms of its reasoning capabilities and other output.
OpenAI's text-to-image generator is called Dall-E 3. It also has a video generator called Sora, which wowed many spectators when OpenAI dropped teaser videos in February that the tool generated. But it's also been under scrutiny as Google boss Sundar Pichai said OpenAI might've breached YouTube's terms of use by using its videos to train the model.
The company announced in July that it's testing an AI search product called SearchGPT with a limited group of users. In September, OpenAI rolled out a new model called o1, which it says can reason like humans and outperforms previous models in complex tasks, especially in science, coding, and math.
Google's AI chatbot is called Gemini and it was launched in March 2023.
The search giant paused Gemini from generating AI images of people earlier in the year after it started producing historically inaccurate images.
Google then announced some new AI features at its I/O conference in May, including AI Overviews, an AI-generated summary of search results. Since it was rolled out, social media users have been posting their experiences of it generating inaccurate responses, including on one occasion where it told a user to put glue on pizza to keep the cheese intact.
A Google representative previously told Business Insider that such examples were "extremely rare queries and aren't representative of most people's experiences."
In response to a Verge report that Google was manually deactivating some answers by its new AI search feature, a spokesperson told the outlet that Google was "taking swift action" to remove AI Overviews on certain queries.
Meta
Meta has an AI assistant called Meta AI, which is run on its open-source LLM called Llama. The AI tool is embedded into its platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp. Meta's video-generating tool, Make-A-Video, was announced in 2022.
It also has an AI image generator called Imagine, which launched in December and was trained on public Facebook and Instagram photos. In April, some users said it was racially biased because it could not create images showing mixed-race couples.
Amazon
Amazon's reportedly building an LLM called Olympus to remain competitive in the AI race. It's developing Olympus with the goal of embedding it into its online store and Alexa smart speakers, The Information reported last year.
Titan is Amazon's image generator, and it is integrated into its service, Amazon Bedrock. This lets users access foundation models from players including Anthropic, Meta, Stability AI, and Cohere to build generative AI applications on Amazon Web Services, its cloud-computing platform.
Amazon committed to investing up to US$ 4 billion in Anthropic last September. The startup, in which Amazon holds a minority stake, was cofounded by two former OpenAI employees.
