Google Get Hooked to ChatGPT
Google invests $300M in ChatGPT rival
Updated 2 minutes ago
Google has invested $300 million into an OpenAI and ChatGPT rival, officially joining the race to create the best generative AI. The tech giant is taking a 10% stake in Anthropic and its AI model Claude, The Financial Times reports. Anthropic’s short history is full of big players — former OpenAI researchers founded the startup in 2021 and raised $580 million in funding last April, mostly from the now disgraced FTX. Google’s announcement comes weeks after Microsoft, LinkedIn’s parent company, invested $10 billion into OpenAI.

There’s been a real frenzy around #AI over the past few months. But I thought calling it an “AI arms race” was tad alarmist. Until now.
With the Financial Times reporting that Google has invested $300 million into Anthropic — on the heels of Microsoft’s (LinkedIn’s parent) recent $10 billion investment into ChatGPT-creator OpenAI — it’s clear that the race for the future of AI has ramped up.
As I reported in my LinkedIn News newsletter this week (https://lnkd.in/eXNy4eDx), it’s not just a race between Microsoft and Google.
Other tech giants, particularly those with thriving cloud businesses (Amazon, anyone?), stand to benefit a ton, and could sell artificial intelligence–based applications developed alongside their other products, as Sameer Dholakia of Bessemer Venture Partners told me.
What about the startups? Don’t count them out yet. Not only do they have notable talent on their side, but could also attract more investment as the big tech companies try to outdo one another. Google’s cloud division, for example, continues to work with other startups like Cohere and C3 AI in a bid to secure a bigger foothold in AI.

Founded in 2021, Anthropic also conducts research into AI language models. The company has built its own general-purpose chatbot, a potential rival to ChatGPT named Claude, but has yet to release it publicly.

BREAKING: Google invests $300 million in Anthropic
Conversational AI is about to enter a new phase. I am curious how Claude, Anthropic’s ChatGPT-like model, will contribute to the conversation.
Official press release from Google: https://lnkd.in/e7s9cpir
Seems the focus will be on the “next generation of large-scale and responsible AI.”
“Anthropic was founded in January 2021 by the team behind AI breakthroughs such as GPT-3 and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).”

🚨 BREAKING: Google investing $300 million in OpenAI competitor Anthropic
Last week’s headlines saw Anthropic seeking $300 million in investment. We now know that Google will be the one to provide it.
In exchange, Google will be getting about 10% stake. Plus, Anthropic will be exclusively using Google for its computing resources.
This is similar to the original Microsoft/OpenAI deal, where Microsoft invested $1 billion for a similar tie-up in computing resources.

Times are really interesting to watch out in generative AI space. According to news reporting from the Financial Times, Google has invested $300 million in one of the most buzzy OpenAI rivals, Anthropic, whose recently-debuted generative AI model, Claude, is considered competitive with ChatGPT #google #ai.
Results of Claude model are comparatively better than chatgpt.

Anthropic‘s Claude does a decent job of translating Bengali text into English. ChatGPT failed this particular task. So did Google translate.
My dad Rehman Mehbubor has been writing op-ed articles in Bangladeshi newspapers recently. He sent me one of his articles today. Having grown up in the United States, I did not learn to read and write in Bangla, unfortunately. (Though I do speak it).
First I tried Google translate to help me read his article. It kept failing, stating that I exceeded the character limit. I kept reducing the text down and finally got it to work but felt that it was too cumbersome to do over and over again. Next I tried ChatGPT. I kept getting an error message. Finally, I tried Claude. And it worked! I’m glad I found a way to appreciate my dad’s work.

ChatGPT just turned 2 months old.
Isn’t it crazy to think that back in early November, we still searched for information on Google and wrote our own copy like a bunch of jackasses?
We were rosy cheeked cherubs when it came to AI back then.
Its fast growth lit a fire under every company in the AI space. And now they’re coming in hot.
In a few more months, the landscape will look very different.
What are a few AI contenders we should look out for?
A VentureBeat article from today shed some light on it.
1️⃣ 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜’𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞
Created by former OpenAI researchers, it got $580 million in funding, and is about to raise $300 million more. A weird footnote to that is Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX bankrolled most of the first round, which isn’t a great association to have.
Still, the company is seemingly good. It’s in closed beta now, but said to potentially be an improvement on ChatGPT and is designed to not be evil at its core.
2️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰
This one is Google’s answer to OpenAI that takes a safer approach. It’s going slow because it wants to be able to cite sources and reduce risk.
It’s going to be in private beta sometime this year, and I’m here for it. Trusting data generated by AI is hard, and if it can make the data more trustworthy, that’s going to be massive.
3️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐌𝐃𝐀
Google isn’t taking this lying down and they have another LLM competitor built on top of Google’s open-source Transformer architecture just like ChatGPT.
One of the researchers working on it got into trouble last year because he said it was sentient. So yeah, there’s that.
It should be the closest experience to ChatGPT of the bunch. It’ll be cool to compare the 2 tech behemoths once it’s out.
4️⃣ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐈
Just like Anthropic was sort-of a descendant of OpenAI, Character AI is LaMDA’s. A couple of the original engineers that created Transformer and then LaMDA set out on their own.
Its technology lets users chat with AI-driven impersonations of historical figures like Queen Elizabeth or Shakespeare as well as fictional characters.
While that’s a 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 specific use case, the technology is 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘥. I had an adventure with Mario to test it out and it was like playing an old-school text adventure game.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s coming.
Are you excited for what’s next?
How do you see these tools working together? Or who will win?
