Introducing PaLM 2 — Google’s Massive New AI Language Model
Google has unveiled its latest breakthrough in natural language AI — PaLM 2. This enormous neural network demonstrates stunning abilities in language and reasoning. PaLM 2 represents a major advancement towards more capable and useful AI systems.
What is PaLM 2?
PaLM 2 is Google’s second-generation Pathways Language Model, built using Transformer-based neural network architecture. It contains an astonishing 540 billion parameters — over 4 times more than GPT-3!
PaLM 2 was trained on Pathways, a dataset of 1.2 trillion words and 300 billion tokens of natural language examples and programming code. This huge dataset provided PaLM 2 with broad knowledge and language abilities.
Unparalleled Abilities
Thanks to its massive scale and training, PaLM 2 reaches new heights in language proficiency, outperforming previous benchmarks. It can converse naturally, explain concepts in-depth, perform complex logic and even generate code.
First of all, let me say that PaLM 2 has been built to make it adaptable for different use cases. Google…
