Samsung unveiled Gauss during its AI forum, showcasing its capabilities in generating and editing images, composing emails, summarizing documents, and serving as a coding assistant.
A noteworthy aspect of Samsung’s Gauss model is its ability to run certain functions locally on the device. Samsung executives hinted last month that generative AI would be added to the “core functions” of mobile devices starting in 2024.
Named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, the legendary mathematician who laid the foundation for the normal distribution theory—integral to machine learning and AI—Gauss comprises three sub-models. These include a language model (Samsung Gauss Language), a coding assistant model (Samsung Gauss Code), and an image generation model (Samsung Gauss Image).
According to Samsung’s press release introducing Gauss, the generative language model enhances work efficiency by facilitating tasks like composing emails, summarizing documents, and translating content. It also holds the potential to make the consumer experience better by enabling smarter device control when integrated into products.
The integration of Gauss into products, particularly the Galaxy S24, could be a compelling selling point, especially if the model can run limited generative image and language functions directly on the handset.
Internally, Samsung is already leveraging Gauss for “employee productivity,” with plans to expand its usage to various Samsung product applications, promising a new user experience in the near future.
