Meta plans to make a chatbot as great as GPT-4

META, the company behind Facebook, has announced its ambition to develop a chatbot that is as great as GPT-4, the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) model created by OpenAI. The move was revealed through a recent report that records the meta has intensively collected AI training chips and expanded data centers to create new, more sophisticated chatbots. According to The Wall Street Journal, META plans to start training this big language model in early 2024. CEO Mark Zuckerberg seems to be pushing this chatbot to be freely used by companies to create AI tools.

Chatbot Development in Meta

In the same report, The Journal notes that META has made a massive purchase of the AI NVIDIA H100 training chip and strengthened its infrastructure. This is so that the meta no longer needs to rely on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform as before when training a new chatbot. The company has even formed a team earlier this year to build this model with the aim of speeding up the creation of AI tools that can imitate human expression.

Generative AI in Meta

This goal seems to be a natural extension of the generative AI features that have long been in Meta’s long spotlight. In June, the leak revealed that META is testing the Instagram chatbot with 30 different personalities. This is very similar to the so-called “personas” AI which is reportedly going to be launched by the company this month.

Challenges Facing Meta

META is reportedly facing a high turnover of AI researchers due to the distribution of computing resources among several major language model projects this year. In addition, the competition in the AI generative space is getting tougher. OpenAI announced in April that they will not be training the GPT-5 in the near future. However, Apple is reportedly investing millions of dollars every day in their own “Ajax” AI model which they claim is more powerful than the GPT-4. Google and Microsoft are also increasingly integrating AI into their productivity tools, and Google wants to use Generative AI in Google Assistant. Amazon is also developing Generative AI initiatives across its organizations that have the potential to produce a chatbot-supported Alexa.

Conclusion

With this latest news, META seems to be trying hard to keep competing in the increasingly fierce world of artificial intelligence. Their efforts to create chatbots as great as GPT-4 show that large technology companies continue to invest in more sophisticated AI development. However, big challenges also arise with increasingly fierce competition among these big companies. We will continue to follow these developments and see how Meta will succeed in dealing with it.
