Their byline is "the second most capable LLM in the world today." Ok thanks for the heads up, I'll go use the first most capable LLM while Inflection catches up... Their press release shows this model well behind gpt-4. There's currently no non-beta API. I'm just not sure who this is for.

this is for investors. while some companies actually build useful models, some like inflection are still catching up with palm-2, an old, forgotten, measly model.
GPT 4 is older than Palm 2. It's weird that big companies are basically only competing for fourth best(after GPT-4, GPT-3.5 and Claude full) and GPT-4 is just a gold standard even now that there are many unicorns and big companies putting all of their resources into it.
Yeah it's odd they chose Palm 2 to compare against. Not a very strong model by most measurements.
