The Custom GPTs Hackathon seeks to delve into the capabilities and practical applications of Custom GPTs, empowering both coding and non-coding enthusiasts to craft tailored AI models for specific tasks or industries. By providing participants with a 48-hour window, this event allows them to gain hands-on experience with OpenAI’s GPT technology, regardless of their coding expertise.

“Our dedication to innovation drives lablab.ai, showcasing our commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI. This hackathon underscores our pursuit of enabling solutions that revolutionize AI’s adaptability to challenges,” emphasized Pawel Czech, Co-founder of New Native.

During the hackathon, participants will have the opportunity to redefine the ChatGPT experience by creating bespoke AI models that cater to individual, corporate, or public needs. Custom GPTs offer a range of key features, including the ability to tailor solutions to diverse requirements, integrate with external data sources for real-world implementation, and facilitate code-free creation for individuals without coding expertise, democratizing AI innovation.

“Lablab.ai is dedicated to fostering a thriving AI community, nurturing growth, and collaboration. This hackathon exemplifies our commitment to cultivating a space where individuals come together to explore and expand the horizons of AI possibilities,” highlighted Simon Olson, Co-Founder of New Native.

The Custom GPTs Hackathon encourages participants to solve real-world challenges using AI solutions while fostering collaboration and feedback within the community. The solutions submitted during the hackathon will be judged and voted upon by the community to determine the best use case.

Additionally, participants who submit solutions during the hackathon may have the opportunity to qualify for partner startup accelerator programs, including GAIA’s and Slingshot. These programs provide participants with the chance to refine their concepts and receive intensive mentorship, further enhancing their AI journey.

Lablab.ai’s Custom GPTs 48-Hour Hackathon promises to be an exciting event that brings together AI enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds to showcase their creativity, problem-solving skills, and passion for innovation.

Google’s Bard draws on information from the internet, while Microsoft’s ChatGPT has access to data until 2021.

Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) and rival Microsoft (MSFT.O) are once again locked in a race to rule the internet zeitgeist after the Google owner launched “Bard” in answer to AI chatbot sensation ChatGPT.

Just minutes after Google announced the launch of Bard on Monday, Microsoft said it would hold an event at its Redmond headquarters to reveal its own AI, potentially setting the stage for the next Chrome-versus-Internet Explorer or Gmail-versus-Hotmail.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT has taken the tech world by storm since it was opened for public use last year, as people worldwide got creative with prompts that the conversational chatbot uses to create everything from poems and novels to jokes and film scripts.

The artificial intelligence service could change how consumers search for information or create content on command and free up time for white-collar workers.

Here are some key differences between Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s ChatGPT:

What Do They Do?

The services that Google’s Bard and ChatGPT would offer are similar. Users will have to key in a question, a request or give a prompt to receive a human-like response.

Microsoft and Google plan to embed AI tools to bolster their search services Bing and Google Search, which account for a big chunk of revenue.

How Are They Different?

Both technologies can distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, but the most apparent difference is Bard’s ability to include recent events in the responses.

Though not immediately clear how the two services will differ, it is certain that Alphabet’s Bard will have access to more data.

Bard draws on information from the internet, while ChatGPT has access to data until 2021.

LaMDa Verses GPT

Bard is based on LaMDA, short for Language Model for Dialogue Applications. The AI generated text with such skill that a company engineer last year called it sentient, a claim the technology giant and scientists widely dismissed.

OpenAI’s GPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer, was first released in 2020, and the GPT 3.5 series of language models that finished training in early 2022 is the backbone of ChatGPT.

“ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers,” Open AI said in a blog post.

When Will Bard Be Available?

While OpenAI made a free research preview of ChatGPT available for public use on Nov. 30 last year, Bard is currently only open to a group of testers.

Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post that the conversational AI service will be made widely available in the coming weeks.

Are There Other Alternatives?

In the two months after ChatGPT’s launch, a number of tech companies have doubled down on generative AI technology, while a number of startups are independently working on their own projects.

Baidu, China’s answer to Google, is the latest company to join the frenzy. Its AI is called Ernie.
