Getting started with PaLM 2
Welcome!
At the Google I/O ’23, various announcements were made with respect to different AI and ML advancements Google is making as we speak. While listening to the session, I stumbled on PaLM 2. It was really interesting as to what capabilities it has with respect to generative models and machine learning.
What is PaLM 2?
PaLM 2 is a large language model (LLM) released by Google in May 2023. It is capable of advanced reasoning, coding, and mathematics. For example, PaLM 2 can solve complex math problems, write code in multiple programming languages, and even generate creative text that is mathematically sound.
