PaLM 2

PaLM 2 Overview

PaLM 2 is Google's next-generation large language model that excels at advanced reasoning tasks, including code and math, classification and question answering, translation and multilingual proficiency, and natural language generation. It is built with compute-optimal scaling, an improved dataset mixture, and model architecture improvements. PaLM 2 is rigorously evaluated for potential harms and biases, capabilities, and downstream uses in research and in-product applications. It is being used in other state-of-the-art models and is powering generative AI features and tools at Google.

PaLM 2 Highlights

• PaLM 2 can decompose complex tasks into simpler subtasks and is better at understanding nuances of human language than previous LLMs.
• It excels at multilingual tasks due to its pre-training on parallel multilingual text and a larger corpus of different languages.
• PaLM 2 is proficient in popular programming languages like Python and JavaScript, and can generate specialized code in languages like Prolog, Fortran, and Verilog.
