Transcript:
>>> THE AI RACE IS HEATING
UP WITH A NEW ADDITION TO
THE GOOGLE FAMILY.
IT'S CALLED GEMMA 3.
GOOGLE SAYS
THE LIGHTWEIGHT STATE OF THE ART
OPEN
MODELS WERE BUILT WITH RIGOROUS
SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND OFFER AN
IMAGE SAFETY CHECKER.
THEY ALSO GAME GEMMA 3
CAN TACKLE MORE CHALLENGES
WHILE USING JUST ONE GPU.
LET'S BRING IN AMELIA DAVID
NOW TO HELP US UNDERSTAND THIS.
SENIOR AI REPORTER FOR VENTURE
BEAT.
THIS SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING.
HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT A GPU
IS AND WHY THIS IS SIGNIFICANT.
>> SURE. A GPU IS BASICALLY A
SET
OF COMPUTER SERVERS THAT HELP
TRAIN AND RUN AN AI MODEL.
AND WHAT'S VERY INTERESTING
HERE
IS SOMETHING LIKE WHAT POWERS
CHATGPT, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR
OPENAI, IT USUALLY TAKES A
LOT OF GPUs AND THE CURRENT ONE
THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING
ABOUT, DEEPSEEK FROM CHINA, ALSO
USES
A LOT OF GPUs.
GEMMA 3, GOOGLE SAYS IT
ONLY NEEDS MAYBE ONE OR TWO,
SO THAT'S VERY INTERESTING.
>> AND YOU'RE ACCURATE TO
CITE GOOGLE AND ALWAYS COUCH
WHAT THEY SAY AS A CLAIM.
BUT TELL US HOW THIS
CLAIM STACKS UP TO -- YOU
MENTIONED DEEPSEEK AND OTHER
OPENAI
OFFERINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
>> YEAH.
WELL, GEMMA 3 STANDS VERY
DIFFERENTLY FROM DEEPSEEK, FOR
EXAMPLE, BECAUSE IT'S
CONSIDERED A SMALL LANGUAGE
MODEL,
MEANING IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY
HAVE
THE BREADTH OF CAPABILITY THAT
DEEPSEEK OR OPENAI 01 OR 03
MINI.
BUT WHAT'S INTERESTING
ABOUT GEMMA 3, BECAUSE IT CAN
RUN IN
A SINGLE GPU, YOU CAN PUT
THE MODEL ON A CELL PHONE OR A
LAPTOP. BUT GOOGLE CLAIMS THAT
IN
BENCHMARK TESTING FOR ITS
PERFORMANCE, GEMMA 3 ACTUALLY
OUTPERFORMS OPENAI,
OUTPERFORMS AN
ANTHROPIC AND THE SMALLER MODEL
FROM DEEPSEEK, EXCEPT IT CAN'T
BEAT THE LARGER DEEPSEEK,
SO
THAT'S INTERESTING.
>> IN THE LAST COUPLE OF
SECONDS, ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW
ANY OF US WOULD ACTUALLY USE
THIS?
>> WELL, IF YOU WERE GOING TO
BE TYPING A CLICK EMAIL AND YOU
WANTED VERY INTERESTING PROSE
COMING FROM YOUR
EMAIL, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU
WOULD NEED TO DO
THAT, YOU CAN HAVE GEMMA 3
WRITE IT BACK TO YOU.
JUST A WARNING, GEMMA 3
CANNOT SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR
YOU.
SO DON'T REQUEST IT FOR
ANYTHING THAT'
