Andreas Braun, CTO of Microsoft Germany, confirmed that GPT-4 will be multimodal and arrive within a week of March 9, 2023. Multimodal AI implies that working inside different sorts of information, similar to video, pictures, and sound will be capable.
The announcement’s main takeaway is that GPT-4 is multimodal (SEJ predicted that it would be in January 2023).
The term “modality” refers to the kind of input that, in this instance, is handled by a large language model.
Text, speech, images, and video are all examples of Multimodal.
GPT-3 and GPT-3.5 only used text as their mode of operation.
GPT-4 may be able to operate in at least four modalities, according to the German news report: images, text, sound (auditory), and video.
The detailing needed particulars for GPT-4, so it’s hazy on the off chance that what was shared about multimodality was well defined for GPT-4 or simply overall.
Holger Kenn, Director of Business Strategy for Microsoft, spoke about multimodalities, but it wasn’t clear in the reporting whether he was referring to GPT-4 multimodality or multimodality in genera.
Microsoft’s work on “confidence metrics” to back up their AI with facts to make it more reliable is another interesting fact.
The fact that Microsoft released a multimodal language model called Kosmos-1 at the beginning of March 2023 appears to have been underreported in the United States.
“…the team subjected the pre-trained model to various tests, with good results in classifying images, answering questions about image content, automated labeling of images, optical text recognition, and speech generation tasks.
…Visual reasoning, i.e. drawing conclusions about images without using language as an intermediate step, seems to be a key here…”
GPT-4 goes further than Kosmos-1 because it adds video and what appears to be sound as a third modality.
GPT-4 seems to work in every language. It is said to be able to answer questions in Italian and receive questions in German.
That is an odd example because who would ask a question in German and expect an Italian response?
Because it can transfer knowledge between languages, the model transcends language. Therefore, if the response is in Italian, it will be aware of it and able to provide the response in the language that was used to ask the question.
As a result, it would be comparable to the objective of Google’s MUM multimodal AI. Mum is said to be able to answer questions in English when the data are only available in another language, like Japanese.
GPT-4’s location has not been announced at this time. However, Azure-OpenAI was mentioned specifically.
By integrating a competing technology into its own search engine, Google is struggling to catch up to Microsoft. The development that Google is trailing behind and lacks leadership in AI for consumers is exacerbated by this development.
Multiple Google products, including Google Lens, Google Maps, and other areas where customers interact with Google, already integrate AI. Utilizing AI as an assistive technology to assist people with minor tasks is this strategy.
Microsoft’s implementation is more obvious, and as a result, it is drawing all of the attention and bolstering Google’s image of floundering and struggling to catch up.
