Microsoft has launched a GitHub AI model builder in its bid to support the transition of developers into the artificial intelligence world.
- Microsoft just launched its latest GitHub AI model
- This deal will help drive the creation of functional AI solutions
- The Model launch trend has grown to become a healthy competition
Launching new Artificial Intelligence (AI) models is fast becoming a trend amongst tech giants like Microsoft. To a large extent, this trend underscores the increasing demand and adoption of this innovative technology.
The latest released AI model from the tech behemoth complements this trend and is targeted at developers.
Microsoft Support Builders Transition to AI
Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, announced the launch of the GitHub AI models.
He described it as a new way for the 100 million developers who utilize GitHub to build AI models directly from their workflow.
It is worth noting that there is an ongoing evolution of builders becoming AI developers. The evolution necessitates the need for these builders to get access to the appropriate resources that make their transition seamless.
This latest development is the company’s way of encouraging these builders to become AI developers.
“To support this shift to scale, we are excited to partner with GitHub to empower their more than 100 million developers to build AI applications directly from GitHub.com with seamless integrations with Codespaces and Microsoft Visual Studio Code,” the tech firm wrote in its published update.
The collaboration is designed to bring Azure AI’s leading model selection to developers through GitHub Models. This goes along with simple APIs to empower responsible, production-ready AI applications.
More AI Model Launches Brewing Competition
Meanwhile, most of these tech companies are subtly brewing competition amongst themselves. In their different niches, Microsoft, OpenAI and NVIDIA have upheld the banner of dominance.
As part of the competition, they consistently launch AI models that end up outperforming their previous iterations.
A week ago, OpenAI introduced an AI-powered search engine that promises fast, accurate answers with clear sources.
The AI model which is dubbed SearchGPT has sparked significant interest amid the global AI expansion. The prototype aims to provide quick, timely answers with clear and relevant sources, enhancing user experience.
The testing of SearchGPT will involve a small group of users and publishers. These entities will provide feedback to refine the tool before integrating it into ChatGPT.
This addition may also enhance the best ways to use ChatGPT for crypto trading and other activities.
As more of such models are launched, the risks of fraud through innovative technology are increasing.
To this end, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler recently issued a warning to the public, advising them to remain vigilant when dealing with AI and other emerging technologies.
