Samsung introduces the Gauss2 multimodal AI model with these upgrades

Samsung unveiled the second generation of its Gaussian artificial intelligence (AI) model on Thursday. The new multi-modal AI model, called Gauss2, is said to offer improved performance, efficiency and enhanced application integration use cases. The New Major Language Model (LLM) was introduced during the keynote address of the Samsung Developer Conference Korea 2024 (SDC24 Korea), which was held online. The technology giant emphasized that it uses the capabilities of the AI ​​model in software development and research purposes.

In one newsroom messagethe South Korean tech giant has detailed the second generation of its Gauss AI model, which was launched last year. The new version of the base model now comes with several upgrades. The company claimed that its multimodal capabilities, where data sets are processed in different modalities, have been improved.

Furthermore, the AI ​​model now also supports between 9 and 14 languages, as well as various programming languages. It is also said to deliver improved performance in language, code and graphics.

The Samsung Gauss2 is available in three separate models based on their parameter sizes: Compact, Balanced and Supreme. The Compact is a small model designed for efficiency and operation in a limited computing environment. The Balanced model is optimized for both performance and efficiency, and the Supreme model can handle advanced computing tasks using Mixture of Experts (MoE) technology.

Samsung claims that the Balanced and Supreme models can outperform “leading open-source generative AI models” on language-based tasks in English and Korean, as well as coding-related tasks. The company also claims that the models offer shorter wait times, faster processing speeds, and better task handling compared to open-source models.

The Samsung Gauss2 is currently being used in the company’s Device eXperience (DX) division and in research institutes abroad. The most popular use case of the AI ​​model is an internal coding assistant called code.i that helps with software development. The tech giant claimed that 60 percent of its DX division uses the tool. The technology is also used by the company’s call center staff to categorize and summarize customer calls.

Although Gauss2 is currently used internally, the company has plans to ship it with its products as well. Samsung also believes that the AI ​​model can improve the personalization capabilities of its existing AI features.
