Samsung joins the AI party and launches its ChatGPT rival

Seems like everyone and their grandma has a new AI model these days. After Elon Musk’s Grok was announced last week, Samsung has joined the long list of OpenAI competitors with their own model called Gauss.

Named after the famous mathematician, Samsung said its model consists of language, code, and image capabilities.

Language sounds very similar to what ChatGPT does in default text mode but Samsung claims that it can also be applied to products for smarter device control. Image will generate, well, images and code will generate - you guessed it - code.

But unlike many other AI models, what sets Gauss apart is that it can be applied on-device to protect the private information of users.

Samsung said the model is currently being tested internally to increase employee productivity and will be expanded to product applications in the future.

5 ways to use new ChatGPT and GPT-4 features

While some of us are still processing the absolute flood of announcements from OpenAI earlier this week, the hackers and hobbyists have been chipping away at the new GPT-4 and ChatGPT features.

Here are 5 of the most interesting new use cases we’ve found:

Create audio commentary for videos

X user Gonzalo Espinoza Graham Combined GPT-4 vision with text-to-speech to generate commentary for a football game. While it’s not quite at the level of a professional commentator, the quality is still very impressive for a first try.

Take screenshots of anything and ask ChatGPT vision questions

You can now take anything from a product screenshot to a school textbook diagram and ask questions about it.

Chat with your webcam

Point your webcam at yourself or any other thing and have a conversation about the subjects in the video.

Build your own GPT

Build your own custom versions of ChatGPT with natural language to help you with a number of personal and work tasks — no coding required.

Build your own data dashboards without writing code

If you’ve ever tried to create a data dashboard, you know how much time it can take. With GPT-4, you can now upload a spreadsheet with data and it will create dashboards for you.

GOVERNANCE AND POLICY
