Today, Inflection AI, the Palo Alto-based startup founded by DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, announced a new foundation model called Inflection-2.5. Built on the work done so far, Inflection-2.5 outperforms the company’s original Inflection-1 significantly and nearly matches OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, especially across STEM subjects. It now powers the company’s Pi assistant, designed to take on ChatGPT and Gemini, and can be tested via mobile and web. The move marks the latest effort in the rapidly evolving AI space to take on the dominance of OpenAI, which continues to clarify its approach to developing AI for humanity. Just recently, Anthropic released Claude 3 Opus, which became the first model to beat GPT-4.
