Google's AI advancements ignite open-source and gaming industries while revolutionizing coding and answering accuracy.

The open-source AI debate is heating up in Big Tech, with recent headlines from Google and Meta. Google's newest large language model (LLM) PaLM 2 uses nearly five times more text data for training than its predecessor, but the company has been unwilling to publish the size or other details of its training data. Meanwhile, Meta's chief AI scientist Yann LeCun argues that the growing secrecy at Google and OpenAI is a "huge mistake" and a "really bad take on what is happening." However, Meta also believes that some levels of openness go too far, and accountability and transparency in AI models are essential.
