Bots, Billions, and Big Confidence

July 22, 2025

The image presents a colorful and informative scatter plot titled "The Rise and Rise of A.I. Large Language Models (LLMs) & their associated bots like ChatGPT." This graph visually represents various language models and their parameters, with the size of each circle indicating the number of parameters in billions. The horizontal axis is labeled "BOTS," suggesting a progression or categorization of these models, while the vertical axis indicates the number of parameters, ranging from a few billion to over 175 billion. Each circle represents a different language model or bot, and the colors of the circles are varied, indicating different affiliations or categories, such as Amazon-owned, Chinese, Google, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft, OpenAI, and others. Prominently featured are several large orange circles, which likely represent significant models like "GPT-4" and "Wu Dao 2.0." The "GPT-3" model is also depicted, positioned slightly lower on the graph, indicating its fewer parameters compared to its successors. Other notable models include "Ernie 4.0," "PanGu-Sigma," and "Titan," each represented by circles of varying sizes and colors. The graph also includes smaller circles for models like "BERT," "T5," and "Megatron-11B," indicating their place in the landscape of language models. The use of different shapes, such as diamonds and squares, adds another layer of categorization, possibly denoting open-access models or specific features. In the bottom left corner, a small inset shows a person speaking, likely the presenter of the video from which this image is taken. The individual appears engaged, using hand gestures to emphasize points, suggesting a dynamic presentation style. The overall tone of the image is informative and analytical, aimed at viewers interested in the development and capabilities of AI language models. The vibrant colors and varied shapes create an engaging visual experience, making complex data more accessible and inviting for viewers. The graph serves as a snapshot of the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, highlighting the competition and advancements among various organizations and their respective models.
