Meet Pi, the world’s ‘friendliest’ chatbot

In News
  • After Anthropic’s Claude 3 captured the attention of the AI community, Inflection AI launched its latest LLM, Inflection 2.5, an upgrade to its model that powers its friendly chatbot Pi personal assistant.
Inflection 2.5
  • Inflection-2.5 is an “upgraded in-house model that is competitive with all the world’s leading LLMs like GPT-4 and Gemini.”
  • The company claims that the newly upgraded LLM comes with its signature personality and uniquely empathetic fine-tuning.
  • The company claims that its latest model achieved GPT-4’s performance with only 40 per cent of the OpenAI model’s computation power for training.
  • Besides, it seems Inflection 2.5 has made some stellar strides in areas of IQ such as coding and mathematics.
  • This means that the model has made substantial improvements on key benchmarks.
  • With the new upgrade, Pi has now been endowed with world-class real-time web search capabilities to ensure that users get access to high-quality and up-to-date information in real time.
Pi Chatbot
  • Pi is an AI chatbot with which one can have deep and meaningful conversations.
  • To access the chatbot, one needs to log on to Inflection.AI, click on Meet Pi, and simply start talking to the chatbot right away.
  • Pi was launched at a time when the world was marvelling at OpenAI’s sensational ChatGPT. While ChatGPT offered human-like responses, Pi came with a radically different vigour.
  • Pi is more humane and has been promoted as a chatbot that has a personality.
  • In other words, Inflection AI dubbed it as a chatbot that is “supportive, smart, and there for you anytime”.
  • While ChatGPT and Gemini were mostly personal assistants that were useful at work, Pi is more like a companion to humans and is free to use.
  • The chatbot comes with a voice, in six distinct voices, to choose from adding life to conversations.
  • The chatbot has been shown billions of lines of text on the open web.
  • This allows Pi to have conversations with users and answer a wide variety of questions, according to the company.
  • Incidentally, the name Pi stands for personal intelligence and it offers infinite knowledge according to a user’s need.
Significance
  • Inflection-1 was ranked the best model in its compute class outdoing the likes of GPT-3.5, LLaMA, and PaLM-540B on a wide range of benchmarks.
  • In 2022, the company launched its new model Inflection-2, which was trained on 5,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs.
  • Inflection-2 outclassed Google’s flagship LLM PaLM 2 on various benchmarks including MMLU (massive multitask language understanding), TriviaQA (a realistic text-based question-answering dataset), HellaSwag & GSM8k.
  • HellaSwag is a challenging dataset for evaluating common sense NLI (natural language interpretation) that is typically hard for state-of-the-art AI models.
  • GSM8K stands for Grade School Math 8K and is a dataset of 8,500 high-quality grade school mathematical word problems that require multi-step reasoning.
  • The company claims that with the new LLM, users are talking to the Pi chatbot about a wider range of topics including discussing current events, getting local restaurant recommendations, studying for a biology exam, drafting business plans, coding, and even fun discussions on hobbies.
  • Inflection AI based in Palo Alto, California was founded by Mustafa Suleyman, Reid Hoffman, and Karen Simonyan in 2022 to create personal AI for everyone.
  • Suleyman is a British AI researcher who was the co-founder and former head of applied AI at DeepMind, while Hoffman is the co-founder of LinkedIn.
