AI関連の最新ニュースをピックアップ
米Meta(メタ)社のAI(人工知能)部門を率いるAlexandr Wang(アレクサンダー・ワン)氏が、社内タウンホール会議において、現在開発中の次世代AIモデル「Watermelon(ウォーターメロン)」が、主要なベンチマーク(AIモデルの性能評価基準)で米OpenAI(オープンAI)の最新フラッグシップモデルである「GPT-5.5」に匹敵する性能を達成したと従業員に明かしました。
Wang氏によると、Watermelonは、同社が最近リリースしたモデル「Avocado(アボカド、製品名:Muse Spark)」の後継にあたります。現在もトレーニング(学習処理)が続けられており、Avocadoと比較して「桁違いに(an order of magnitude)多い計算量」を費やしていると説明されています。
Metaはオープンソース(ソースコードや訓練データを無償公開する形態)志向のモデルリリースを重ねることで、先行するOpenAIやGoogleに対抗してきました。今回ベンチマークでGPT-5.5に追いついたという社内報告は、技術的な遅れを取り戻し、AIリーダーシップの地位を再主張するための大きなマイルストーンとなります。
編集部注:Alexandr Wang氏の報告により、Metaの自社モデルの進化速度が加速していることがアピールされましたが、これはあくまで社内評価に基づいたものです。実際の一般リリース時に、ユーザーが体感できる推論能力や多様な実用タスクにおいて、OpenAIの最高峰モデルとどこまで競り合えるか注目が集まっています。
