A word from Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai:
Info is on the core of human progress. It’s why we’ve targeted for greater than 26 years on our mission to arrange the world’s info and make it accessible and helpful. And it’s why we proceed to push the frontiers of AI to arrange that info throughout each enter and make it accessible by way of any output, in order that it may be really helpful for you.
That was our imaginative and prescient when we launched Gemini 1.0 final December. The primary mannequin constructed to be natively multimodal, Gemini 1.0 and 1.5 drove large advances with multimodality and lengthy context to know info throughout textual content, video, pictures, audio and code, and course of much more of it.
Now thousands and thousands of builders are constructing with Gemini. And it’s serving to us reimagine all of our merchandise — together with all 7 of them with 2 billion customers — and to create new ones. NotebookLM is a superb instance of what multimodality and lengthy context can allow for folks, and why it’s liked by so many.
During the last yr, we’ve got been investing in creating extra agentic fashions, that means they’ll perceive extra concerning the world round you, assume a number of steps forward, and take motion in your behalf, together with your supervision.
In the present day we’re excited to launch our subsequent period of fashions constructed for this new agentic period: introducing Gemini 2.0, our most succesful mannequin but. With new advances in multimodality — like native picture and audio output — and native instrument use, it’s going to allow us to construct new AI brokers that convey us nearer to our imaginative and prescient of a common assistant.
We’re getting 2.0 into the fingers of builders and trusted testers at this time. And we’re working shortly to get it into our merchandise, main with Gemini and Search. Beginning at this time our Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental mannequin will probably be out there to all Gemini customers. We’re additionally launching a brand new characteristic known as Deep Analysis, which makes use of superior reasoning and lengthy context capabilities to behave as a analysis assistant, exploring advanced matters and compiling stories in your behalf. It is out there in Gemini Superior at this time, and you’ll study extra on our web site.
No product has been reworked extra by AI than Search. Our AI Overviews now attain 1 billion folks, enabling them to ask totally new varieties of questions — shortly turning into certainly one of our hottest Search options ever. As a subsequent step, we’re bringing the superior reasoning capabilities of Gemini 2.0 to AI Overviews to deal with extra advanced matters and multi-step questions, together with superior math equations, multimodal queries and coding. We began restricted testing this week and will probably be rolling it out extra broadly early subsequent yr. And we’ll proceed to convey AI Overviews to extra nations and languages over the following yr.
2.0’s advances are underpinned by decade-long investments in our differentiated full-stack method to AI innovation. It’s constructed on customized {hardware} like Trillium, our sixth-generation TPUs. TPUs powered 100% of Gemini 2.0 coaching and inference, and at this time Trillium is typically out there to prospects to allow them to construct with it too.
If Gemini 1.0 was about organizing and understanding info, Gemini 2.0 is about making it far more helpful. I can’t wait to see what this subsequent period brings.
