AI Arms Race
Creating these super agents or Agentic AI is becoming the Holy Grail for those competing in the AI sphere. Meta has been furiously pushing its Llama-powered Meta AI on its social media platforms and messaging apps. It has also made the open source AI model available to the US government to “support the prosperity and security of the United States.”
Meanwhile, Amazon is facing accusations that it is falling behind as it admits that AI Alexa is nowhere near ready for public consumption. This is despite the billions the company has pumped into AI wunderkind Anthropic.
Microsoft is facing similar negativity but specifically from the CEO of Salesforce. Marc Benioff has called Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, a “huge disaster” and “…the new Microsoft Clippy.”
Whatever OpenAI is going to show off has got to be something above and beyond what is available now or even what we can imagine to merit such covertness.
