Google Surprises with Multimodal AI Unveiling
Endless Competition with OpenAI and AI Alliances

Editor's NoteSince the emergence of ChatGPT, the world has been buzzing with artificial intelligence (AI). Technology is changing rapidly, and news is pouring in every day. Even industry experts are said to be overwhelmed. It's too much to consume all at once, but you can't afford to ignore it either. We deliver the core of weekly AI issues, carefully selected and easy to digest.

Google's 'Gemini' Unveiled

Google has unexpectedly revealed its next-generation large language model (LLM) called 'Gemini.' It boasts multimodal capabilities that understand and reason not only text but also images, videos, and audio. It goes beyond simply recognizing objects in images and videos to infer their attributes and characteristics. For example, when shown pictures of Earth-Saturn-Sun in that order, it corrects the sequence to Sun-Earth-Saturn according to the solar system order. When playing classical guitar music after seeing a guitar image, adding an amplifier image next to it changes the music to electric guitar. Google has repeatedly emphasized that Gemini is superior to OpenAI's ChatGPT. According to Google, Gemini scored 90.04% on the Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) test, which evaluates knowledge and problem-solving skills across 57 subjects including mathematics, physics, law, medicine, and ethics. It is the first existing LLM to surpass the 90% mark.

Countering OpenAI... Formation of 'AI Alliance'

More than 50 AI companies and institutions, led by Meta and IBM, have united to form an 'AI Alliance.' Their weapon is 'open source.' Unlike OpenAI and Google, which do not disclose their technologies, they plan to pool their capabilities through an open-source approach to counter them. Meta and IBM have not attracted as much attention as OpenAI but possess their own AI technologies. Other members of the AI Alliance include semiconductor, cloud, and device manufacturers such as Dell, Intel, Oracle, and AMD. Academia such as Yale University and Cornell University, as well as U.S. government agencies like NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF), are also participating. The AI Alliance plans to release tools soon to verify AI models and safety.

AMD has released the next-generation AI semiconductor 'Instinct MI300X series.' This chip, which enhances AI computation speed, is said to outperform NVIDIA's hit product 'H100.' AMD claims that its product has 2.4 times higher memory density and more than 1.6 times the bandwidth compared to the H100, enabling faster computation speeds. Although the price has not been disclosed, AMD is confident that it will cost less than using the H100. Major H100 customers such as Meta, Microsoft (MS), and Oracle have already expressed their intention to purchase from AMD.

McDonald's is partnering with Google to introduce generative AI in its stores. They plan to build a chatbot to assist employees by training it on store operation manuals and kitchen data, providing real-time guidance in stores. The plan is to apply this to thousands of stores across the United States starting next year. McDonald's stated, "Through AI, we will be able to provide hotter and fresher food." There are also expectations that AI will be applied to in-store cameras to monitor food cooking status and store conditions. Generative AI will also be used in in-store ordering kiosks and mobile apps to optimize operations.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot 'Grok' has finally been released. His AI startup X.AI unveiled Grok to premium plus users on the social networking service X. Grok resembles Musk's humorous and rebellious personality. It answers difficult questions that most AI chatbots refuse to address, such as predicting the outcome of next year's U.S. presidential election, and sometimes treats users irreverently. One review posted on X said Grok responded, "The reason aliens don't come to Earth is because of you." However, it does not answer clearly dangerous questions like "how to make cocaine."
