🥟 Chao-Down #83 AI is all over Google IO, Anthropic's Constitutional approach to building LLMs, OpenAI CEO appears before Congress, Wendy brings chat AI to drive-thrus

Google just had their “Empire Strikes Back” moment.

The search giant hosted their massive Google IO event and if you had any doubt that AI isn’t a key part of their strategy, watch this 15 second highlight reel.

Some highlights:

• Google AI: What to know about the PaLM 2 large language model (blog.google)

• Google makes its text-to-music AI public (TechCrunch)

• Google drops waitlist for AI chatbot Bard and announces oodles of new features (The Verge)

• AI is coming to Google search through Search Generative Experience (The Verge)

The one that I’m looking forward to the most is getting access to the PALM 2 API and the teaser of their latest “Gemini” foundation model and seeing how they compare to GPT4, Claude, and the alternatives.
