It’s not better, they just hooked up a calculator to it. Like OpenAI’s plugins, but more opaque and less useful.
What happened to Google? Touting this as some achievement feels really sad. This is just catching up, and failing. I’m beginning to think they are punching above their weight and should focus on other things. Which is.. odd, to say the least. I guess money isn’t everything.
- atleastoptimal 3y agoGoogle certainly has an internal LLM of GPT-4 quality (PALM-2 or some variant of it) but they would never allow access to it via an API as it would require them to operate on too high of a loss. Google is too seasoned a company to try something new or interesting that would involve a risk to its ad revenue bottom line.
- SanderNL 3y agoPeople keep repeating they have “things in the works” and “massive reserves”, but meanwhile they flail around for years. They could have had a massive head-start, they were the inventors of the transformer for crying out loud. I’m not seeing indications of anything interesting brewing in their HQ.
