The fast tempo of generative AI information and bulletins isn’t slowing down, at the same time as we attain the ultimate stretches of 2023 and the standard winter vacation quiet interval.
Simply check out Microsoft Analysis, the blue sky division of the software program large, which right this moment introduced the launch of its Phi-2 small language mannequin (SML), a text-to-text AI program that’s “sufficiently small to run on a laptop computer or cellular gadget,” based on a publish on X.
On the similar time, Phi-2 with its 2.7 billion parameters (connections between synthetic neurons) boasts efficiency that’s similar to different, a lot bigger fashions together with Meta’s Llama 2-7B with its 7 billion parameters and even Mistral-7B, one other 7 billion parameter mannequin.
Microsoft researchers additionally famous of their weblog publish on the Phi-2 launch that it outperforms Google’s model new Gemini Nano 2 mannequin regardless of it having half a billion extra parameters, and delivers much less “toxicity” and bias in its responses than Llama 2.

Microsoft additionally couldn’t resist taking somewhat dig at Google’s now much-criticized, staged demo video for Gemini during which it confirmed off how its forthcoming largest and strongest new AI mannequin, Gemini Extremely, was in a position to clear up pretty complicated physics issues and even right college students’ errors on them. Because it turned out, although it’s possible a fraction of the scale of Gemini Extremely, Phi-2 additionally was in a position to accurately reply the query and proper the scholar utilizing the identical prompts.
Nevertheless, regardless of these encouraging findings, there’s a massive limitation with Phi-2, no less than in the interim: it’s licensed just for “analysis functions solely,” not business utilization, beneath a customized Microsoft Analysis License, which additional states Phi-2 could solely be used for “non-commercial, non-revenue producing, analysis functions.” So, companies trying to construct merchandise atop it are out of luck.
