Another glorious battle for AI dominance… GPT-4o vs Google I/O

yesterday was Google IO the annual

developer conference where Google

desperately tries to catch up to its

artificial rival open AI

Google Google announced some crazy stuff

I never thought I would see in my

lifetime like a SQL database for

Firebase more on that later because

first we need to talk about the biggest

announcement at iio open ai's new GPT 4

oh oh oh you see open AI hype Lord Sam

Alman yet again wrapped up Sundar in a

wet blanket by releasing GPT 40 just

hours before Google IO which is a total

coincidence and definitely not designed

to troll Google in today's video we'll

break down this artificial beef but more

importantly look at all kinds of crazy

new technology released in just the last

48 hours it is May 15th 2024 and you

watching the code report on Monday open

aai had a surprise spring update where

they unveiled their new flagship model

gp4 Omni you've got me on the edge of my

well I don't really have a seat but you

get the idea what's the big news yeah

we've got a new model which is faster

and cheaper than gp4 turbo and combines

text vision and audio into a single

model what was most impressive though

was its humanlike conversational

abilities well well well just when I

thought things couldn't get any more

interesting talking to another AI that

can see the World by default it uses a

California Valley Girl accent set to

maximum cringe but the tone of the voice

can vary from dramatic to sarcastic to

Super chill for bedtime stories a

bedtime story about robots and love I

got you covered this technology will be

a huge leap forward for your AI

girlfriend and you can use the GPT 40

model today but the conversational part

of it is still not available to the

public that's disappointing but what you

also need to know is that open AI is in

talks to put their technology on the

iPhone but Google also wants to get its

Flagship model on the iPhone as well it

talks are on going to also get Gemini on

the iPhone so these companies are

competing to create a model that's smart

but also fast and cheap enough to run on

mobile in order to get that massive bag

from Apple yesterday at IO Google demoed

something called project Astro which

feels similar to for Omni do you

remember where you saw my

glasses yes I do your glasses were on

the desk near a red apple it's cool but

there's more latency and the voice is

more robotic compared to open AI now

what's also very interesting is that

open AI just parted ways with Ilia their

former Chief scientist and co-founder

who many people used to worship as the

brains behind open AI there's definitely

some underline drama here but we likely

won't know the truth until they release

their Memoirs in the 2040s but now let's

finally talk about Google IO the biggest

AI announcement from Google was Gemini

1.5 Pro which can now handle a 2 million

token context window that could be 2

hours of video content or 60,000 lines

of code that's a lot of context but

tokens can be expensive and to address

that they released a new feature called

context caching that can reuse tokens

for a fraction of the cost in addition

Google launched a competition for

developers and whoever builds the best

Gemini powered app wins an electric

DeLorean to make building this app

easier they also released a new tool

called Firebase gen kit which which is

integrated with oama and makes it easy

to build AI enabled API endpoints in

addition project idx is now open to the

public which is a browser-based vs code

that's also integrated with things like

mobile emulators by far the most

exciting thing for me though is a new

tool called Firebase data connect which

officially brings postgress into

Firebase this has been the number one

most requested feature for years how do

I use Firebase with SQL and its absence

is led to startups like superbase which

is branded as a Firebase alternative but

now in 2024 the turns of table Firebase

is now the superbase alternative I'm a

big fan of both super base and Firebase

and if you want to learn these

Technologies check out my full courses

on fireship iio and stay tuned for a

full tutorial on data connect on my

second Channel Beyond fireship soon

Google also announced some new hardware

like Trillium tpus and Axion its new

arm-based CPUs for data centers and

finally Google also announced vo a

generative video model to compete with

open AI Sora it's extremely impressive

compared to where we were just a year

ago but yet again it just feels one step

on behind open AI we just looked at all

kinds of crazy new gamechanging

technology but at this point I'm feeling

a little disappointed with our progress

towards the singularity it's been over a

year since GPT 4 and unfortunately I

still have a job four Omni Claude and

Gemini 1.5 all seem to be pretty maxed

out on how far they can get with these

benchmarks making models faster and

cheaper is great but if they're not

becoming more intelligent then the

singularity is nowhere in sight they've

already absorbed almost all the

information humans have created is so

unless there's a major breakthrough that

makes AI actually intelligent and able

to learn independently it sure looks

like we're standing on the edge of a

plateau and the only place to go is the

trough of disillusionment this has been

the code report thanks for watching and

I will see you in the next one
