Alphabet introduced its most sophisticated artificial intelligence model, Gemini AI, with capabilities spanning across video, audio, and textual data processing. According to Reuters, this unveiling showcases a monumental leap in AI technology.
Gemini AI boasts enhanced abilities for complex reasoning and understanding nuances within information, surpassing Google's previous technology, as claimed by the company. An integral part of this advanced technology has been integrated into Alphabet's AI assistant, Bard, with plans to launch the superior version of Gemini via Bard in early 2024.
Alphabet announced the development of three versions of Gemini, each tailored for usage across devices with varying computational power. The most robust iteration targets data processing centers, while the simplest is designed for mobile devices.
Gemini, facilitated by Google's DeepMind AI subdivision, stands as the largest AI model created, significantly more cost-effective in user maintenance compared to the company's larger-scale models, as stated by DeepMind's Vice President of Product, Eli Collins.
In addition to Gemini AI, Alphabet introduced the next generation of its specialized AI microchips or tensor processors, Cloud TPU v5p, comprising blocks housing 8960 chips. These new microchips are geared towards training extensive AI models.
Previously announced in September, Google revealed plans to incorporate its AI chatbot, Bard, into services such as Gmail, Maps, Docs, and the YouTube platform.
