Google claims that AI additions to its cloud catalog provide the platform the greatest choice of models to pick from, despite the fact that the business still lags behind Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud computing industry.
In order to incorporate more generative AI into its products and position itself as a one-stop shop for cloud customers looking to tap into the technology, Alphabet’s Google is adding artificial intelligence tools from businesses like Meta Platforms and Anthropic to its cloud platform.
The Llama 2 big language model from Meta as well as the Claude 2 chatbot from AI startup Anthropic will be accessible to Google’s cloud clients, which they can then customize with company data for their own apps and services.
The change, which was made public on Tuesday at Google’s Next ’23 event in San Francisco, is a part of the company’s strategy to present its platform as one where clients have the choice to select the AI model that best suits their needs, whether from the business itself or one of its partners. Google Cloud customers now have access to more than 100 potent AI models and tools, the firm claimed.
Additionally, the business disclosed that its Duet AI product would soon be more widely accessible to Workspace productivity suite users, with public access to follow later in the year. On applications like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, users may touch a generative AI assistant that reacts to requests to help with content creation.
According to Google, Duet AI, which was unveiled in May, can translate captions into 18 different languages, deliver meeting summaries, and take notes during video sessions. Users may send the tool to join meetings on their behalf, deliver messages, and provide an event report using a new feature dubbed “attend for me.”
Google also announced new collaborations with businesses like GE Appliances and Fox Sports that would enable consumers to benefit from AI in ways like creating personalized recipes or watching a replay of a sporting event from Fox’s broadcast library.
In order to overtake its rivals in the artificial intelligence sector, Google is indicating with these announcements that it is more eager than ever to collaborate with other businesses in the field.
With a focus on its years of expertise in the sector, Google has bragged about its offerings as the best alternatives in AI.
