TIME TO TAKE A DEEPER LOOK AT MICROSOFT’S BING

It’s been over a week since Microsoft launched the new Bing search and chat features. Finally, one of our biggest questions got answered.

GPT-3.5 does not power Bing, and it’s also definitely not GPT-4. Instead, some supped-up version of OpenAI’s Transformer model paired with Microsofts tech to create this coveted search engine upgrade.

It turns Out Our Speculation Was Spot On

Jordi Ribas published an article on LinkedIn the other day with the full details. His post reads like him opening up the back of Bing and showing us each cog in the machine.

Ribas explains where Prometheus helps with search elements and a newer concept called Bing Orchestra (think of it like the middleman in your transaction).

He even included a cool graphic to explain it:

So I know most of this news is not earth-shattering, and you’d probably prefer to skip the waitlist over reading more about Bing (trust me, I wish I knew how too).

But the headline is that the new Bing is possible thanks to two large companies aligning and working together.

The news around Hugging Face and Amazon or Bain & Company and OpenAI might feel like boring old corporate “synergy,” but that doesn’t have to be true.

If everyone plays ball, we’ll see incredible tools for several significant use cases. Microsoft and OpenAI are proof of that.

They trusted a next-generation version of their GPT to a product team outside their company. Do you even trust your cat alone in your apartment for an hour?

A Chinese Chat AI Falters, But More Are Coming

MOSS, a ChatGPT-like product made by researchers at Funan University, crashed and burned like a red shirt in Stark Trek.

The launch was stress-tested repeatedly but couldn’t handle the demand for the service in China. No wonder people are using VPNs to access ChatGPT—demand is skyrocketing right now.

Yet, China Isn’t The Only Country Tossing Their Hat in the Ring

Yesterday, I shared a link to the German startup Aleph Alpha and their 4 billion parameters, GPT-4 competitor. And MPs in the UK discussed the need for a BritGPT, which is like ChatGPT, only it likes tea instead of coffee and writes color as “colour.”

The whole world is going AI crazy to the point where some in the US feel threatened by the lack of government response.

Don’t freak out, AI is a $400B+ market. Tons of countries are going to want a slice of the pie.

MOSS was a rushed first attempt by some academic researchers. The actual corporate heavyweights want to do a lot more than ChatGPT clones. Baidu is even moving towards in-car entertainment integrations.

That bot was the first of many attempts.

I like what Sahil Lavingia said on Twitter, “AI is the new API.” Like APIs, this tech is going global.
