Keywords

💡SearchGPT

SearchGPT is a new AI tool released by OpenAI, which is presented as a competitor to Perplexity. It is characterized by a simple user interface that integrates images and search results, aiming to provide a more efficient and user-friendly search experience. In the video script, it is described as a 'clear competitor to perplexity' and is compared with other search platforms like Google and Wikipedia, highlighting its unique features and the potential for confusion with existing services.

💡Perplexity

Perplexity, in the context of the video, refers to a search platform that is being compared with SearchGPT. It is implied that Perplexity is a service that has a significant user base and is well-known in the AI search domain. The script mentions that SearchGPT is 'very similar to CH gbt but more,' suggesting that it is an attempt to improve upon or compete with Perplexity's offerings.

💡UI (User Interface)

The user interface, or UI, is a term used to describe the point of interaction between a user and a digital system, in this case, the SearchGPT tool. The script comments on the 'super simple UI' of SearchGPT, indicating that it is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, which is a critical aspect of the user experience when it comes to search engines and AI tools.

💡Prototype

A prototype is an initial model of a product that is used for testing and feedback before the final version is developed. In the video script, SearchGPT is described as a 'temporary prototype of a new AI search feature,' which means that it is in an early stage of development and is being released to a small group of users to gather feedback and make improvements.

💡Context Window

The context window refers to the amount of information or text that an AI model can consider at one time when generating responses. In the script, there is a question about 'how much of this actually goes into the context window,' which relates to the limitations of AI models when processing large amounts of data from web scraping, and the potential impact on the quality of search results.

💡Hallucinations

In the context of AI, 'hallucinations' refer to the phenomenon where an AI generates responses that are coherent but factually incorrect or nonsensical, because they are not grounded in actual data. The script mentions that SearchGPT 'prevents hallucinations' by providing sources for its information, which helps ensure the accuracy and reliability of the search results.

💡Llama

Llama, in the script, refers to a series of AI models developed by Meta (formerly Facebook). The video discusses the capabilities of Llama models, such as Llama 3.1, and compares them to OpenAI's offerings. The script suggests that Llama models are making significant progress and are becoming competitive with or even surpassing GPT models in certain aspects.

💡Open Source

Open source refers to a model or software whose source code is made available for anyone to view, modify, and distribute. The script mentions that Llama 405b is 'getting open source today,' indicating a shift towards more accessible and collaborative AI development. This is contrasted with the closed models of companies like OpenAI, which are not as transparent or collaborative.

💡Parameter

In AI, a parameter is a variable that the model learns during training to make predictions or generate responses. The script discusses models with different numbers of parameters, such as '8 billion' or '70 billion,' to illustrate the size and complexity of AI models. A larger number of parameters generally allows a model to capture more nuances in data and potentially perform better.

💡Fine-tuning

Fine-tuning is a process in machine learning where a pre-trained model is further trained on a specific task or dataset to improve its performance for that task. The script suggests that the Llama 3.1 model has been fine-tuned and is outperforming larger models, indicating the effectiveness of this technique in enhancing AI capabilities.

💡AI Agents

AI agents are autonomous systems that can perform tasks, make decisions, or interact with users based on AI algorithms. The script mentions building 'AI agents with llama 3.1,' which implies creating applications or services that leverage the capabilities of the Llama AI models to perform specific functions or tasks.
