@sundarpichai @dolphinproject This is really cool work! But also it's confirming that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy may've accurately described the nature of intelligence here on Earth 🤣

Introducing DolphinGemma, an LLM fine-tuned on many years of dolphin sound data 🐬 to help advance scientific discovery. We collaborated with @dolphinproject to train a model that learns vocal patterns to predict what sound they might make next. It’s small enough (~400M params)

The statement is lighthearted and humorous, referencing a popular science fiction book to comment on a technological advancement related to dolphin communication. It does not engage substantively with public issues or contribute to civic dialogue, as it primarily serves as a playful remark on the nature of intelligence.
