PaLI-3 Vision Language Models
No comparison against GPT-4V? How embarrassing! Where are they going to submit this? A conference where no one knows about GPT-4V? Ridiculous.<p>It's getting really awkward seeing these papers from Google. "We're here too! We're totally not woefully behind everyone else in the field!". No model, no reasonable comparisons, just generic bragging.<p>I'm astounded as an ML researcher how Google can be doing so incredibly badly. They have access to unlimited compute, good people, and great infrastructure. Yet something about their internal culture means they are unable to compete with OpenAI, Facebook, and even the open source community. They constantly brag about how good their models are (even in private) and then every time they deploy anything its performance is pathetic (like Bard and Bard with vision).<p>You can tell why Google recently totally overhauled the leadership of Google Research/Deep Mind and shut down Google Brain.
