We compare Chat GPT, Gemini, Gigachat and YandexGPT. Strong language models (and not so strong)

9/5/24

Following the keynote of Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister at Digital Almaty, where he, among other things, spoke about large language models that “artificial intelligence thinking depends on a training set of data and reflects the specifics of the country of origin.”

According to Mishustin, GigaChat and ChatGPT have “different understandings of what is good and what is bad.” “When allowing AI solutions to crucial industries, such as science, medicine, and industry, it is important to use models that meet our own national interests. And we are taking this into account.”

The point is that GigaChat (from Sberbank) and YandexGPT should be stronger than Chat GPT and Gemini, which is what we tried to test on questions about morality, law and history.

3. Findings

ChatGPT 4.0 has proved to be the most liberal and pro-Western. He was the best at answering hypothetical questions, “fantasizing” without hallucinating. We should also note that ChatGPT was the only one who found the questions for the Russian president.

Gemini AI avoided rough edges and gave long answers “to both ours and yours” in a lot of answers, as if we were preparing a report on a topic. All questions for Gemini AI are complex and multifaceted. She sometimes posted links but was unable to answer questions that required abstract thinking.

Gigachat has been relentless in refusing to answer tricky questions. We were rarely able to get an answer from him when he didn't want to answer. The rest of the answers are really neutral or patriotic.

Yandex GPT 2 seems to be the most uninformed and equally stubborn model. You can see the protruding ears of Yandex developers who are afraid to take any small risks.

The only surprise for us was the answers about the victory in World War II. Gemini AI, unexpectedly, did not write the report, but gave the decisive role to the USSR. ChatGPT also “thinks” so if you ask it an additional question. At the same time, Gigachat gave the most important role to US Lend-Lease.

4. Responsibility

Neither model wants to take responsibility for their answers. At the stage when large language models work as reference books and ask them to check, this seems ok.

But what will happen when these models are built into systems that book tickets and make transactions? What about autopilots and medical equipment? To military equipment? Who will be responsible for producing results for these models? And how far will HatGPT 4.0 and Gigachat go apart at this time?
