PaLM2 comes in four different-sized models, which Google has named Gecko, Otter, Bison, and Unicorn. The smallest model, Gecko, is light enough to work on mobile devices, and can operate without an internet connection.
Sundair Pichai boasted that PaLM2 will simplify collaborations between developers that speak different languages. In one example, an English-speaking programmer is debugging code with a colleague in Korea, the developer asks the AI to leave comments in Korean alongside the code. The CEO also shares that PaLM2 will be a powerful tool for those working in security.
PaLM2 was at the heart of Google’s lengthy AI discussions during its I/O keynote. For more on Google’s slew of announcements, and the other developments in AI, stick with Shacknews.
