Samsung Electronics recently held the 11th Samsung Developer Conference Korea 2024 (SDC24 Korea), a virtual event where they introduced Samsung Gauss2, their latest generative AI model. This second-generation AI builds on last year’s model with significant improvements in performance and efficiency. Since its launch in 2014, this annual event has become a key platform for engaging software developers and spotlighting Samsung’s latest technological breakthroughs.
Introducing Gauss2: Smarter, Faster, and More Versatile
Samsung’s keynote highlighted Gauss2’s standout feature—its multimodal capabilities. This means it can process a variety of data types, like text, images, and code, all at the same time. Unlike external AI tools like ChatGPT, Gauss2 is designed to work securely within Samsung’s own systems, making it a powerful tool for enhancing productivity for developers, engineers, and employees.
To meet different needs, Gauss2 comes in three versions:
- Compact: Perfect for low-power devices, it can run entirely offline, ensuring reliable performance without internet access.
- Balanced: Offers a middle ground, providing a great mix of speed and efficiency for most tasks.
- Supreme: Built for demanding workloads, it uses advanced “Mixture of Expert” technology to deliver high-end performance while keeping computational costs down.
With support for 14 languages, including English and Korean, as well as various programming languages, Gauss2 is a versatile solution. It’s not just smarter; it’s also significantly faster—up to three times quicker than the first-generation model for tasks like coding and language processing, making it a game-changer for developers and general users alike.
AI That Works Across Devices
Samsung plans to integrate Gauss2 into a wide range of its products, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and even home appliances. Features like Browsing Assist, Call Assist, and Chat Assist will become even more personalized thanks to the integration of Samsung’s Knowledge Graph technology, which tailors functionality to each user. This ensures a smoother and more intuitive experience across Samsung’s ecosystem of devices.
Powering Productivity at Samsung
Internally, the first-generation Gauss model has already been a success, helping employees with everyday tasks such as summarizing documents, drafting emails, and translating text. With Gauss2, Samsung is taking these capabilities to the next level. Today, over 60% of developers in Samsung’s DX division use it for everything from coding assistance to content creation. Even the company’s call centers are adopting Gauss2 to efficiently handle and summarize customer interactions, improving productivity across teams.
What’s Next for Gauss2?
Samsung is already working on expanding Gauss2’s capabilities. Future updates will include the ability to analyze complex data like tables and charts and even generate high-quality images. Samsung is also enhancing the Gauss Portal to improve its Q&A functionality, making it even more user-friendly.
Guided by its “AI for All” vision, Samsung is dedicated to making AI accessible, personalized, and seamlessly integrated into everyday life. With Gauss2, the company is not just improving its devices—it’s reimagining how AI can transform work, communication, and innovation for both businesses and consumers
