Rather, it concentrates on clarifying the different Language Model (LLM) solutions provided by the two businesses and how much they cost in comparison. It should be made clear that the purpose of this article is not to compare the effectiveness of the various solutions.

Future Generation Capabilities

Until now, training individual components for various modalities and then piecing them together to approximate some of this functionality was the standard procedure for developing multimodal models. These models can occasionally excel at certain tasks, such as describing images, but they have trouble with more sophisticated and conceptual reasoning. Since Gemini was pre-trained on various modalities from the beginning, we built it to be naturally multimodal. Then, to increase its efficacy even more, we adjusted it using more multimodal data. This makes Gemini far more capable than current multimodal models at understanding and reasoning about a wide range of inputs from the ground up. In almost every domain, its capabilities are state of the art.

In conclusion, there have been substantial developments in the field of generative AI with both Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT-4. The particular needs of the task or application at hand, as well as the cost considerations for various language speakers, will determine which of the two is best. It will be interesting to watch what these top AI providers have in store for us as the generative AI landscape develops further.

Inequality of language

An investigation into whether OpenAI's tokenizers are biased towards the English language and how Google's character approach is fundamentally different is prompted by comparing the billing practices of OpenAI and Google. Shown by red dots for English in each billing model and blue dots for the 49 other languages in the dataset, it is clear that OpenAI's tokenizers showed a clear bias in favor of English. Specifically, cl100k, which was used for embedding by ChatGPT and AdaV2, as well as p50k, which was used by the Text models and other embeddings models. Considering the majority of the content on the internet is in English, this is in line with expectations. Interestingly, Malayalam, one of the four languages spoken in South India, costs almost 16 times as much on the p50k tokenizer as English does.

• The model comparison provided by Google, which suggests that Text_Bison is most similar to... DaVinci, is a crucial factor to take into account. This alignment suggests that Bison's performance and conception are similar to DaVinci's, despite its placement. If verified, this comparison would indicate a significant benefit for Google in terms of the ratio of cost to functionality.
• When it comes to chat models, OpenAI provides four Chat-GPT variations, each of which has a different context size for response generation. Since Chat-Bison can process a context with up to 4096 tokens, the natural comparison for it would be with GPT3.5 in its 4K context version, as they are considered to be nearly equivalent in capabilities.

Examining these Chat-models comparisons reveals some fascinating conclusions:

Google turns out to be the more affordable choice for languages like Korean or Japanese. - For languages like Spanish, French, or German, the most economical option depends on certain needs: producing long text in response to a short prompt or condensing large text volumes.

Comparing OpenAI and Google becomes more complex when assessing their text and chat model offerings. OpenAI offers four different text-specialized model options, from the powerful DaVinci to the more portable Ada. But DaVinci is in a different league due to its much higher price. In terms of pricing, Text_Bison is very similar to OpenAI's Curie model, while Babbage and Ada show very little variation due to their small variance of 0.0001$ per thousand tokens. Considerably more text input would be needed in order to identify significant pricing differences.
