Google Gemini is not as good at analysis as its hype says, other AI models also struggle

The big picture: If there's one thing that generative AI is supposed to be good at, it's analyzing the written word. However, two studies suggest that this ability may have been overhyped.

This is something companies should consider as they augment their workforce with Gen AI.

Forward-looking: It's no secret that Nvidia has been the dominant GPU supplier to data centers, but now there is a very real possibility that AMD might become a serious contender in this market as demand grows. AMD was recently approached by a client asking to create an AI training cluster consisting of a staggering 1.2 million GPUs. That would potentially make it 30x more powerful than Frontier, the current fastest supercomputer. AMD supplied less than 2% of data center GPUs in 2023.

Cutting corners: Researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have devised a way to run a billion-parameter-scale large language model using just 13 watts of power – about as much as a modern LED light bulb. For comparison, a data center-grade GPU used for LLM tasks requires around 700 watts.
