Samsung Research has developed Gauss, named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, to power several on-device AI technologies across Samsung products. This includes Gauss Language, which handles tasks like translations and summarizing documents, Gauss Code, a coding assistant, and Samsung Gauss Image for image generation, including the ability to create images based on prompts, and upscale low-resolution images.
The development of Gauss is historically grounded in the work of the human Gauss in the 1800s, who formed the normal distribution theory, a major component in the growth of machine learning and AI. Essentially, Gauss would have been equally thrilled by a generated picture of a cat writing at a desk.
While some may be cynical about Samsung’s generative AI personal assistant, the company’s innovations usually forge their own path. Case in point, Samsung had developed its own voice assistant, Bixby, which is accurately summed up here. Despite some skepticism, running generative AI features on-device could give Samsung an advantage over existing generative AI models that currently require cloud connectivity. This gives Samsung an edge in the market by providing a more convenient, faster, and privacy-protected user experience.
Samsung is already showcasing Galaxy AI in its incoming translation feature, as the company continues to push the boundaries of AI capabilities in its products and services. Furthermore, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset supports on-device GAI operations, which will likely be integrated into the future Galaxy S24 phones.
