🟠 OpenAI Launches SearchGPT; Meta and Mistral Release New LLMs
OpenAI enters the AI search engine race with SearchGPT, while Mistral and Llama release the latest open-source LLMs. ComfyUI emerges as a new interface for Stable Diffusion.
OpenAI's SearchGPT Takes on Google Search
Sam Altman has frequently discussed Gen-AI enabled search engines as an unsolved problem. He has emphasized that OpenAI is actively working on solving this significant challenge.
…The intersection of LLMs plus search, I don’t think anyone has cracked the code on yet. I would love to go do that. I think that would be cool.” Sam Altman
It’s important to remember that the search market is worth over $200 billion each year and is dominated by Google. SearchGPT represents OpenAI’s first major venture into this lucrative field, combining the power of Generative AI with search engine capabilities.
Essentially, SearchGPT is a version of ChatGPT “connected to the internet.” It can search for recent news and provide easily digestible answers to your questions. For example, if you search for music festivals in your region, SearchGPT will find relevant events from reliable sources and neatly showcase them for you.
This marks OpenAI’s initial step into the search engine market, positioning it to compete with the likes of Perplexity AI and Google. OpenAI has opened a waitlist for early access to this new product. You can join the waitlist to be among the first to experience SearchGPT.
New fronteer Gen-AI models
Llama 3.1 Launch, Last week, two new frontier-level models were launched to the public. First, Meta unveiled their latest Llama model, Llama 3.1, which includes 405B, 70B, and 8B parameter open-source models.
In a public letter, Mark Zuckerberg emphasized his commitment to open-source models, explaining why it’s important to him and Meta. He noted that training these models costs Meta hundreds of millions of dollars, yet they are releasing them entirely free of charge to the public.
Performance of Llama 3.1
In short, Llama 3.1 is comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude 3.5. A more in-depth comparison can be seen in the table below:
Mistral large 2 launch,Just a few days after Meta launched Llama 3.1, Mistral introduced their newest frontier model, Large 2. While smaller than Llama with "only" 123 billion parameters, this model is more efficient to use.
It's important to note that Mistral is the only European tech company keeping up with state-of-the-art developments in AI. While the US dominates the space, a startup like Mistral is proving its ability to stay competitive.
