Google presented in its I/O for developers a PaLM 2, the new language model by Artificial Intelligence. The interest of the company is to compete with GPT-4, from OpenAI, strengthening the chatbot Bard.
What does PALM mean? Pathways Language Model, o Path Language Model. According to Google, excels at advanced reasoning tasks such as code and math, sorting and answering questions, as well as translation and multilingual proficiency.
“It can carry out these tasks because of the way it was created,” says the company led by Sundar Pichai, “Since it brings together optimal compute scaling, an improved combination of data sets and improvements in the model architecture”.
PaLM, in its original version, was trained on 540 billion parameters; GPT-4, from OpenAI, used over a billion. From there it is considered as a superior language model.
Another point in favor of PaLM 2 is that it is trained in more than 100 languages, in order to have greater depth and contextual understanding.
Google’s PaLM 2 and its base point: mathematical reasoning
But the key element It is scientific and mathematical reasoning. Much has been made about the bugs of GPT-3 in these instances, and while GPT-4 represents a huge improvement, it’s not without a few bugs.
Google’s language model is based on three research breakthroughs:
- The use of optimal scaling computing.
- The improved combination of data sets.
- The model architecture and goal updated.
That is why Google’s focus with PaLM 2 is on numerically shielding itself. with 20 programming languages, becoming a very important tool for programmers.
Where to try PaLM 2?
So far, Google has not made a widespread release of the technology, but it did confirm that it is in use in 25 of its products, including Android, YouTube, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Slides y Google Sheets, among others.
However, for the common user, the best way to test PaLM 2 is with Google Bard. The chatbot, which is not yet available in all countries, is based on the novel language model.
