Samsung’s ChatGPT rival is coming soon to its devices

Posted on:

At Samsung’s 2023 AI Forum, the company introduced its own large language model with plans to incorporate it into Samsung devices.

Days after OpenAI announced ChatGPT-4 Turbo, Samsung unveiled its own large language model (LLM).

On Wednesday, during the Samsung AI Forum 2023, the company introduced its generative AI model, Samsung Gauss, with plans to integrate it into its smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

After Samsung developers accidentally leaked confidential data by using ChatGPT to help write code, Samsung banned the use of ChatGPT on company devices and started building its own generative AI tool for employees to use internally. Now, the company is bringing its own LLM to the public. OpenAI has kept the upper hand on generative AI tools amidst fierce competition with models developed by Google and Anthropic, but it lacks the strategic advantage of building its own hardware. With Samsung planning an LLM for its devices, Google adding its AI chatbot Bard to the Pixel, and even whispers of Apple working on a ChatGPT competitor, it could mean a shift in the generative AI landscape.

Actually, Samsung Gauss comes in three specialized models: Samsung Gauss Language, Samsung Gauss Code, and Samsung Gauss Image. The language model works like ChatGPT and will be used for writing text, summarizing documents, and translation. The coding model will be used to help developers write code, and the image model has multi-modal support, meaning it can generate and edit images. Generative AI is poised to revolutionize users’ work and daily lives. Adding LLMs to smartphones would create even more impact and introduce new possibilities for life in the AI era.

Samsung Gauss is currently the model used internally by employees and will expand to “a variety of Samsung product applications to provide new user experience in the near future,” said the announcement.

AI successfully negotiated a legal contract without human help

UK company Luminance successfully automated the review and negotiation of a legal contract, which could be a huge time-saver for lawyers.

In a groundbreaking moment, AI successfully negotiated a contract with…AI.

There were no real stakes involved, since it was a just a live demo, but artificial intelligence company Luminance just provided a glimpse of what the future might look like for the legal industry. On Tuesday, the UK-based company’s large language model (LLM) automated a contract negotiation “without human intervention, between two opposing parties.” Luminance claims this is the first completely AI-powered contract negotiation. The model was trained on 150 million legal documents to gain legal knowledge.

Industry-specific LLMs are one of the latest evolutions from generalist models like ChatGPT. Expect to see more of these customized AI models cropping up.

On Monday, OpenAI announced custom GPTs, which allow the user to build and train a model for their own purposes without any coding experience needed. GPTs are marketed towards ChatGPT users, but also ChatGPT Enterprise customers who use a private version of ChatGPT internally.

The benefit of using a bespoke model is not only data privacy, but also focused expertise for companies looking to automate tasks. Luminance, which does this for legal contracts, is aiming to cut down on hours lawyers spend negotiating terms.

Reviewing legal documents is a time-consuming process for lawyers. LLMs like Luminance’s proprietary legal-focused model, Autopilot, are able to understand and analyze massive amounts of information in a matter of seconds.

Automating the review of routine contracts like nondisclosure agreements could save legal professionals tons of time. “By putting the day-to-day negotiations in the hands of an AI that is legally trained and understands your business, we’re freeing lawyers up to focus their creativity where it counts,” said Jaeger Glucina, Luminance chief of staff, in the announcement.

This doesn’t mean there’s zero oversight. According to CBNC’s Ryan Browne, who saw the live demo, there’s a live log highlighting changes to clauses and suggested changes, so lawyers can review the process and double-check it for errors.
