Not to be outdone by Google, Elon Musk, or Amazon, Samsung is jumping on the generative AI train with a new model, dubbed Gauss.
The model, announced at the Samsung AI Forum, is named for Carl Friedrich Gauss, the mathematician whose work helped provide the backbone for machine learning and AI. According to the Korea Times, Samsung intends to include Gauss in next year's Galaxy S24.
The model consists of three tools. The first is Samsung Gauss Language, which can write emails, summarize documents, and translate languages, similar to how ChatGPT works.
Samsung Gauss Code is a model for generating code. It's currently "optimized for in-house software development," Samsung says, and is intended to simplify the coding process. "It also supports functions such as code description and test case generation through an interactive interface," Samsung says.
Finally, Samsung Gauss Image is a generative image model capable of creating and editing images (think Dall-E). Samsung says that Gauss Image can also upscale lower-resolution images into a higher resolution.
Samsung didn't say which Gauss elements will end up on its consumer products. It made only vague promises to "harness the power of AI to improve the lives of consumers everywhere."
For those concerned about AI getting out of hand, Samsung touted its AI Red Team, which will keep tabs on "security and privacy issues that may arise."
