Samsung Enters Generative AI Movement With Gauss (Image: Pixabay)
Samsung Electronics unveiled a new generative artificial intelligence model named Samsung Gauss on November 8. The South Korean electronics manufacturer made this surprising move to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI”s ChatGPT in the market. Samsung Gauss was unveiled during the Samsung AI Forum 2023, which was led by Samsung Research. The event mainly focused on generative AI technology.
Samsung Gauss is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, a 19th-century legendary mathematician. Gauss, also referred to as the “Prince of Mathematicians”, was one of the first to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra. Samsung says that Carl Friedrich Gauss established normal distribution theory, which is the backbone of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).
Samsung”s new AI model consists of Samsung Gauss Language, Samsung Gauss Code, and Samsung Gauss Image. According to the company, Samsung Gauss Language is a generative language model that improves work efficiency by facilitating tasks such as composing emails, summarizing documents, and translating content. This generative language model can also boost the consumer experience by enabling smarter device control when integrated into products.
On the other hand, Samsung Gauss Image is a generative image model that can generate and edit creative images, including style changes and additions. Samsung Gauss Image also has the ability to convert low-resolution images to high-resolution. Samsung also unveiled the Samsung Gauss Code, a code generation tool created for in-house software development. Samsung claims that the Gauss Code will help developers code easily and quickly. It also supports test case generation and code description. Samsung mentioned in its statement that its latest generative AI model is currently used for employee productivity but will be expanded to different product applications in the future.
