Astra Is Google's ‘Multimodal’ Answer to the New ChatGPT
That vision for the future of AI is strikingly similar to one showcased by OpenAI on Monday. That version of ChatGPT, powered by a new AI model called GPT-4o, also uses a more humanlike voice and emotionally expressive tone, simulating emotions like surprise and even flirtatiousness. Google’s Project Astra uses the advanced version of Gemini Ultra, an AI model developed to compete with the one that has powered ChatGPT since March 2023. “That's why we made it multimodal.” The new versions of Gemini and ChatGPT that see, hear, and speak make for impressive demos, but what place they will find in workplaces or personal lives is unclear. Pulkit Agrawal, an assistant professor at MIT who works on AI and robotics, says Google's and OpenAI’s latest demos are impressive and show how rapidly multimodal AI models have advanced.
