Inflection AI Unveils Second-Generation Large Language Model, Inflection-2, Competing with Google and Meta
Inflection AI, a pioneering technology company, has recently revealed its second-generation large language model (LLM), Inflection-2, positioning itself as a strong competitor to industry giants, Google and Meta. Trained on an impressive 5,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs with approximately 10^25 FLOPs, Inflection-2 showcases performance levels comparable to Google's PaLM 2 and even outperforms it in various benchmarks such as MMLU, TriviaQA, HellaSwag, and GSM8k.
Inflection-2: The World's Second Most Capable LLM
Inflection-2 stands as the world's second most capable LLM, just behind OpenAI's GPT-4. Despite its size, this powerhouse model manages to reduce costs and increase serving speed compared to its predecessor, Inflection-1, thanks to its transition from A100 to H100 GPUs. This transition highlights its remarkable training efficiency.
Powering the Pi Chatbot with Inflection-2
Inflection-2 has been designed with a focus on serving efficiency and is set to power the Pi chatbot, marking a significant milestone in the quest to create a personal AI accessible to everyone. The development of this AI cluster has been a collaborative effort between Inflection AI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and CoreWeave.
Commitment to Safety and Ethical Standards
Inflection AI places a strong emphasis on safety, security, and trustworthiness in large model training. The company ensures that the model aligns with global ethical standards and has voluntarily committed to the White House's ethical AI guidelines set in July 2023.
Benchmark Results Showcasing Inflection-2's Superiority
Benchmark results demonstrate Inflection-2's superiority over its predecessor and other external models such as LLaMA-2, Grok-1, PaLM-2, Claude-2, and GPT-4. Notably, its exceptional performance in chain-of-thought reasoning surpasses even that of Claude 2 in evaluations on MMLU (5-shot).
CEO Mustafa Suleyman's Commitment to AI Safety and Collaboration
CEO Mustafa Suleyman highlights the importance of AI safety and ethical standards, urging empathy and forgiveness in light of recent challenges faced by rivals like OpenAI. While acknowledging the competitive nature of the industry, Suleyman hopes for understanding and collaboration as Inflection-2 prepares to usher in a new era of innovation in the rapidly evolving Silicon Valley landscape.
