Samsung unveiled the Gauss 2 AI model, marking a significant advancement in its artificial intelligence initiatives.

Building upon its predecessor, Gauss 2 offers enhanced performance and efficiency and is capable of processing images, text, and code simultaneously.

Currently, Samsung is trialing the Gauss 2 model in three versions - Compact, Balanced, and Supreme - each tailored to different processing needs.

That includes everything from on-device operations without the internet to leveraging extensive resources for optimal performance.

Gauss 2 supports up to 14 languages and operates 1.5 to 3 times faster than the original model.

This AI model is already being integrated across Samsung's product lineup, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and home appliances.

Beyond Samsung's borders, Gauss 2 aids in categorizing and summarizing customer interactions in call centers.

YoungJip Kim, Samsung's head of AI, envisions artificial intelligence becoming an integral part of daily life.

He anticipates that AI technology will bring new ways to interact with assistants and transform user experiences with smart devices.

Specifically, Samsung hopes that Gauss 2, and AI in general, will:

Kim emphasizes the importance of personalization, with AI adapting to individual user needs and behaviors.

Gauss 2 is multi-modal, meaning it can simultaneously process natural-language requests, images, and computer code.

It's similar to asking the AI now for a text summary of an article plus an illustration, except that Gauss 2 will be able to process the entire request in a single pass.

Samsung's Gauss 2 models pioneer AI integration and align with the company's overall vision. Samsung is less concerned with a 'natural-language AI' or even with a fancy AI assistant for their Galaxy phones.

That sets Samsung apart from other AI proponents like X's Grok AI.

Instead, Samsung wants an AI people use all the time, everywhere.

Will Gauss 2 be the breakthrough?
