Samsung Unveils Gauss2: Latest AI Innovations at SDC24 Korea
Samsung Electronics held the Samsung Developer Conference Korea 2024 (SDC24 Korea) virtually to reveal its latest software innovations and vision. A key announcement was the launch of Samsung Gauss2, the second generation of its AI model.
Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun, President and CTO of the Device eXperience (DX) Division, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing user experiences through cutting-edge software. Samsung Gauss2 features three models: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme. The Compact model is efficient for devices with limited resources, while the Balanced model provides consistent performance across tasks. The Supreme model utilizes Mixture of Experts technology to significantly reduce training and inference costs while delivering high performance.
Samsung Gauss2 supports multiple languages, including English and Korean, as well as various programming languages. Its Balanced and Supreme models match or exceed the performance of leading open-source generative AI models, offering processing speeds 1.5 to 3 times faster, improving response times and task efficiency.
The internal generative AI model allows Samsung to customize AI applications for better performance. The coding assistant ‘code.i,’ upgraded to Samsung Gauss2, sees increased use among software developers in the DX Division. Additionally, Samsung Gauss Portal assists employees with document summarization, translation, and email composition, expanding its reach to global subsidiaries and call center staff.
What are the main differences between Samsung Gauss2’s models: Compact, Balanced, and Supreme?
