A leading software engineer who happens to be working at Google is sharing his two cents on the matter related to the tech giant losing its edge in the current competitive AI race.
Luke Sernau did not shy away from mentioning how the top search engine giant is not doing enough and that is making it fall behind drastically against the open source community. The latter is where so many researchers make use of AI to produce quick and unprecedented advances.
The engineer that goes by the name of Luke Sernau mentioned in a recently published document regarding the internal systems functioning at Google during the start of April. He claims that in the past couple of weeks, this document was passed around thousands of times among people using the search engine. And one person who was familiar with the matter added that it was concerning for obvious reasons.
The paperwork was published by another consulting company called SemiAnalysis and it was seen making the rounds at Silicon Valley too.
As a part of the engineer’s analysis, it was observed how Google had an intense rivalry with other leading startup giants including OpenAI and that was a clear distraction from huge developments arising in the world of open-source advancements.
He added how Google has really spent a lot of time overlooking the shoulders of others including the ChatGPT makers but it’s time the firm crosses its own goals and milestones. They felt it was time to see what the next decision would be.
The current uncomfortable truth was linked to being in a position where Google was losing this arms race and it needed to act quickly. Google’s Sernau did not entertain any comments but he feels that others are eating a lot of its hard work including the open-source community.
A lot of progress has been done in AI and as that accelerates, many employees at the company and other places continue to engage in internal discussions both internally and externally. It has to do with technology and how that remakes the industry.
Google has been in the spotlight for a while now regarding this pressure and how ChatGPT’s popularity is a lot to handle. Therefore, Google has lost its advantage in this AI race and that’s shocking because it was really once deemed to be a leader of this industry.
The real threat linked to Google was coming through open source communities and that’s where so many engineers are advancing ahead with great speed. They’re rivaling the big tech giants’ quality and they can be produced at a cheaper cost.
These types of models are not only quicker and more efficient but can be customized and considerably more useful that the tech giant’s own model.
They don’t have any form of a secret sauce but there is great hope that Google might collaborate or learn from what other people in the industry are doing. He similarly set out some concerns about how clients were no longer willing to set out funds for models having high technology offerings for free.
While Google is yet to provide its own two cents on the matter, it did reveal through a recent earnings call that the CEO of Alphabet felt Google was making its fair share of investments and breakthroughs in the world of AI in the past ten years. This has kept it in a great position and there was certainly so much progress being made in making the right models and collaborating with others.
