PaLM 2 is Google’s latest and greatest AI language model, and it’s already being used to power its experimental chatbot Bard.
Google has announced PaLM 2: its latest AI language model and competitor to rival systems like OpenAI’s GPT-4.
PaLM 2 is much better at a range of text-based tasks, Google senior research director Slav Petrov told journalists in a roundtable prior to the model’s announcement at Google’s I/O conference, including reasoning, coding, and translation.
Think of these adaptations like taking a basic truck chassis and adding a new engine or front bumper to accomplish certain tasks or work better in specific terrain. There’s a version of PaLM trained on health data , which Google says can answer questions similar to those found on the US Medical Licensing Examination to an “expert” level and another version trained on cybersecurity data that can “explain the behavior of potential malicious scripts and help detect threats in code,” said Petrov.
Notably, Google says the lightest version of PaLM 2, Gecko, is small enough to run on mobile phones, processing 20 tokens per second — roughly equivalent to around 16 or 17 words. Google did not say what hardware was used to test this model, only that it was running “on the latest phones.” Nevertheless, the miniaturization of such language models is significant. Such systems are expensive to run in the cloud, and being able to use them locally would have other benefits, like improved privacy.
