5. 🔍 Google's Entry: Gemini 2.0
- Google's DeepMind released Gemini 2.0, a new 'flash thinking experimental' model, as a competitor to Deep Seek's R1.
- Gemini 2.0 is available through Google AI Studio and scored 73% on its first benchmark, equivalent to the 32b version of Deep Seek's R1.
- The larger Deep Seek model has around 600 billion parameters, but Gemini 2.0 scored 74 on the GPQA Diamond Benchmark, placing it ahead of Deep Seek's big model.
- Gemini 2.0 is slightly behind OpenAI's models, indicating competitive performance in the AI space.
- The release of Gemini 2.0 contributes to the trend of new 'thinking models' becoming standard in programmatically accessible intelligence.
6. 🔗 Evolving Research: Perplexity's Sonar Pro
- Perplexity has released a new version of its API, called Sonar Pro, which includes citations and the ability to customize sources, enhancing transparency and traceability in information sourcing.
- Sonar Pro offers advanced features such as Json mode and domain-specific filtering, allowing users to refine searches and exclude certain sources.
- The old models of Perplexity will be discontinued within a month, necessitating users to transition to Sonar Pro for continued service.
- Users leveraging Perplexity in their workflows and automations need to update to the new model to maintain functionality.
7. 🎥 Transforming Media: AI Video and Image Innovations
- Runway has launched 'Frames', an AI imaging model aimed at producing cinematic-quality images, expanding from its roots in video generation.
- 'Frames' is positioned against AI models like MidJourney, Flux, and Stable Diffusion, with a subscription cost of $95 per month plus VAT, totaling around $120.
- In contrast, MidJourney provides a similar service at a much lower price point of $10 monthly, raising questions about 'Frames' pricing strategy.
- Tests indicate 'Frames' excels in generating hyper-realistic portraits and cinematic scenes, although it may not be as effective for logos.
- The model is praised for its superior color palette, composition, and lighting, particularly when applied to cinematic and drone shots.
- Despite the high quality, the elevated subscription cost might not be justified given cheaper alternatives with competitive quality.
- User feedback highlights the model's strengths in specific scenarios, such as cinematic photography, but suggests evaluating cost-effectiveness for broader applications.
