Google and OpenAI's Battle to Develop Reasoning AI Continues
Google is intensifying its efforts to improve its AI models in order to handle complex tasks and compete with OpenAI. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, Google is focusing on enhancing its AI models to handle tasks in areas like mathematics and computer programming. On the other hand, OpenAI has made advancements in this area with the introduction of its latest model, "o1".
Chain-of-Thought Prompting
Both Google and OpenAI are utilizing a technique called "chain-of-thought prompting," which allows the AI to take additional time to analyze a problem before responding. This extra time enables the AI to consider multiple related prompts and then consolidate them into a coherent response, ultimately leading to improved answers.
Google has been making significant strides to solidify its position in the AI race. In response to OpenAI's breakthrough with its AI model, Google's team has developed new AI tools such as AlphaProof, designed to solve complex mathematical problems, and AlphaGeometry, which focuses on geometry. Additionally, Google is currently enhancing its Gemini AI assistant, which includes a feature that can identify objects using a phone's camera.
OpenAI's New Model
Meanwhile, OpenAI unveiled "o1" in September 2024, making the model available through ChatGBT and its API. This development raised concerns within Google's DeepMind division. OpenAI also introduced an exciting new "Advanced Voice" feature for ChatGPT users in the same month, offering five new voices: Arbor, Maple, SXol, Spruce, and Vale, in addition to existing options like Breeze and Juniper.
As both companies continue to innovate, their competition to advance AI capabilities remains ongoing, with each striving to make AI even more intelligent.
