Artificial intelligence has by now become as much a part of everyday life as the smartphone itself – ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Claude show up at the office, on the phone, and even in your own home search. For many people, it remains unclear who is actually behind which name, what using it really costs, […]
Anyone who looks more closely at Moonshot AI’s model series quickly comes across a whole series of names: Kimi K2, Kimi K2 Thinking, K2.5, K2.6, K2.7 Code and finally K3. Unlike many Western providers, who rarely disclose their model versions, Moonshot AI publishes technical reports for every major version, along with the model weights themselves […]
Anyone getting an overview of the major artificial intelligence providers has, since 2025, increasingly come across a name that was barely known in Germany until recently: Kimi. Behind the chatbot and its associated model series is the Chinese company Moonshot AI. For case workers, real estate agents or property managers wondering whether it’s worth looking […]
Anyone who looks more closely at Grok quickly comes across a whole series of model names: Grok 3, Grok 4, Grok 4 Heavy, Grok 4.1 Fast, Grok 4.20, Grok 4.5 – and on the horizon, Grok 5 is already being talked about. To laypeople, this large number of names often seems more confusing than with […]
Hardly any AI company has generated as much discussion since its founding as xAI, the company behind the chatbot Grok. Anyone getting an overview of the major artificial intelligence providers will sooner or later come across Grok – usually because it’s built into the platform X (formerly Twitter) or shows up in the news. For […]
Anyone who looks more closely at Microsoft Copilot quickly runs into a problem: the name “Copilot” is used for several, technically different products, which also don’t all use the same AI model. Anyone wanting to understand why a request in Word is sometimes answered differently than the same question in Windows Copilot needs to take […]
Hardly any software update in recent years has changed everyday office life as much as Microsoft Copilot. Anyone who starts a Windows computer today, opens a Word document, or gets invited to a meeting in Teams almost automatically encounters a small colorful icon that summarizes text, creates spreadsheets, or drafts presentations. For case workers, administrative […]
Anyone who only uses Perplexity AI superficially sees a simple input field and an answer with footnotes. In the background, however, considerably more happens: Perplexity combines its own lightweight search models with access to some of the industry’s most powerful large language models, and selects a different combination of them depending on the question, subscription […]
Anyone who types a question into the internet today mostly gets one thing from classic search engines: a list of blue links you have to click through yourself. Perplexity AI takes a different approach. The American company has positioned itself as a so-called answer engine – you ask a question in plain language and receive […]
When artificial intelligence is discussed in Germany, names like ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot usually come up first. Less well known, but increasingly interesting for many offices, public authorities and privacy-conscious private individuals, is a provider from Paris: Mistral AI. The company deliberately positions itself as a European alternative to the large American and Chinese AI […]
Hardly any AI company has shaken up the industry over the past year and a half as much as DeepSeek. When the Chinese company introduced its DeepSeek-R1 model in early 2025, which could compete with the most expensive American AI models on many tasks while allegedly costing only a fraction to train, technology stock markets […]
Anyone who only knows the Meta AI app or the chat field in WhatsApp is only seeing the surface. Underneath it works a family of AI models called Llama, which Meta has released in several generations since 2023. What makes it special: unlike ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, practically anyone can download the so-called model weights […]
