OpenAI, Google, and Mistral, leading players in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), have recently introduced updated versions of their LLM Models, marking a significant development in the AI landscape. The competition among these tech giants has intensified as they strive to introduce new application models that push the boundaries of AI technology.

In a rapid succession of events, OpenAI, Google, and the French AI startup Mistral revealed the latest iterations of their AI models within a span of twelve hours. This unveiling coincides with the imminent launch of the next major iteration of OpenAI's GPT engine, spurred by hints from Facebook's Global Affairs President, Nick Clegg, regarding Meta's updated Llama AI model.

Notably, Clegg's announcement of Llama's third version at an event in London was swiftly followed by Google's release of Gemini Pro 1.5, a model that has undergone significant development over recent months. Prior to the Pro version, Google introduced Gemini 1.5 as a substantial upgrade from Google 1.0 Ultra, emphasizing its enhanced efficiency in performing diverse tasks with reduced computational resources.

The public availability of Gemini Pro 1.5, albeit with a limitation of 50 daily requests on the free tier, was soon accompanied by OpenAI's introduction of GPT-4 Turbo, representing a pivotal achievement for the prominent AI company. OpenAI had earlier highlighted GPT-4 as the most advanced version of their Large Language Model (LLM) upon its release in mid-March.

Both Gemini Pro 1.5 and GPT-4 Turbo stand out as multimodal systems capable of processing text, audio, and video inputs, showcasing the versatility and sophistication of these cutting-edge AI models. However, concerns have been raised regarding Mistral's launch strategy for its frontier model, Mixtral 8x22B, which diverges from the open-source approach commonly adopted by its American counterparts.

Mistral's decision to release Mixtral 8x22B through a direct download link to a sizable 281GB file has sparked criticism, with some stakeholders expressing apprehension about the potential misuse of such a system without adequate oversight.

As the AI landscape evolves, companies like Intel and Goldman Sachs are exploring avenues to develop advanced AI models that can rival the existing offerings from industry leaders like NVIDIA and OpenAI, signaling a dynamic and competitive environment in the realm of artificial intelligence.
