Inflection AI Is Still Here
Another OpenAI rival also launched a new model this week. Inflection AI, says “Inflection-2″ will make its Pi chatbot the best-performing product of its size and it’s only rivaled by OpenAI’s GPT-4. Inflection’s CEO Mustafa Suleyman came to prominence when he ran Google’s DeepMind and his latest company has flown under the radar a bit.
“Our belief is that we’re just at the very beginning of this scaling curve, and the new capabilities that are going to arise are truly mind blowing,” Suleyman told Forbes in an interview.
It’s easy to roll your eyes at smaller startups looking to compete in the AI arms race. Surely, Google and Microsoft(with OpenAI) and Apple(?) will crush these outfits at some point, right? But there’s a growing belief among developers that at a certain degree of sophistication, the only thing holding back competing models is the time and energy spent on the training data set.
Don’t count Inflection out.
