Samsung becomes a member of the AI community through Gauss

Samsung has unveiled its new generative AI model named Gauss at the AI Forum. Positioned as a rival to OpenAI’s GPT and Google’s LaMDA, Gauss is designed to generate text, images, and code. The model is set to be integrated into Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S24 phones and will operate locally on the devices. Named after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the model consists of three components: Gauss Language, Gauss Image, and Gauss Code. Gauss Language can understand human language, responding to queries and aiding in tasks like email composition, document summarization, and language translation. Gauss Image functions as a generative model similar to DALL-E, capable of converting low-resolution images to high-resolution ones. Gauss Code aims to assist developers in writing code more efficiently, working alongside Samsung’s code assistant, “code.i,” and supporting code description and test case generation through an interactive interface. While Samsung currently uses the Gauss model internally, the company plans to make it available to the public in the near future, with expectations of integration into upcoming hardware, including the Galaxy S24 phones expected to debut in January 2023. Samsung’s Exynos 2400, the latest mobile chip, is optimized for AI, delivering a substantial boost in AI performance and supporting features like text-to-speech generation. The company emphasizes its commitment to ensuring the safe use of AI through its AI Red Team, focusing on areas such as data collection and AI model development. Notably, Gauss operates as an “on-device AI,” processing data locally rather than relying on cloud-based processing, promoting privacy and speed.
