Google unveiled its “state-of-the-art language model” PaLM 2 at its I/O 2023 developer conference on Wednesday. Google said it introduced more than 25 new products and features powered by PaLM 2 at I/O 2023. Google also opened access to the PaLM 2-powered forage Chatbot in over 180 countries and territories including India. Google claims to have added advanced privacy controls in PaLM 2 that allow users to have complete control over their personal information.
Previously, users in the US and UK had to go through a waiting list to access Bard.
In a blog post announcing the launch of the PaLM 2 language model, Google said, “PaLM 2 shows us the impact of highly capable models of different sizes and speeds – and how versatile AI models yield real benefits for everyone”.
What is Palm 2?
PaLM 2 is a language model that Google is deploying to bring AI capabilities to all of its products, including Gmail, Google Docs, and Bard. Similar to other language models such as GPT-4, PaLM 2 is capable of powering AI-based chatbots. It also specializes in writing code, analyzing images, and translating. In fact, PaLM 2’s multilingual capabilities will be used to make Bard available in over 40 languages.
According to Google, PaLM 2 has been trained on multilingual texts from over 100 languages, and the language model has also passed an advanced language proficiency test at the ‘dominance’ level. PaLM 2 has been trained on publicly available source code datasets to be proficient in over 20 programming languages including Java, Python, Ruby, C, etc.
Where PaLM 2 is being used:
Many upcoming and current Google products will be powered by the PaLM 2 language model. Most notably, users can get a taste of the PaLM 2’s capabilities using bard chatbot, PaLM 2 is also being used to add artificial intelligence capabilities to Google Docs, Gmail, and Google Sheets. Google is using PaLM 2 in Sec-PaLM for cyber security analysis and in Med-PaLM 2 to answer questions and summarize insights from a variety of intensive medical lessons.
What will happen next?
Google has also announced that it is already working on a next generation language model called Gemini. While still in training, Google says the Gemini is already demonstrating multimodal capabilities not seen in its previous models.
“Gemini is highly efficient in integrating tools and APIs, and is designed to enable future innovations such as memory and scheduling.” search giant added
Google has been struggling to find its footing in the artificial intelligence landscape since its launch chatgpt In November last year. A good start GPT-4 Google’s problems with multimodal capabilities have only increased with Microsoft using OpenAI’s language models to power its new Bing search. Microsoft and Google are vying for supremacy in the field of generative AI-powered chatbots.
