A be aware 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 prepare the world’s data and make it accessible and helpful. And it’s why we proceed to push the frontiers of AI to prepare that data throughout each enter and make it accessible through 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 massive advances with multimodality and lengthy context to grasp data throughout textual content, video, photographs, audio and code, and course of much more of it.
Now hundreds of 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 individuals, and why it’s beloved by so many.
Over the past 12 months, now we have been investing in creating extra agentic fashions, that means they will perceive extra in regards to the world round you, assume a number of steps forward, and take motion in your behalf, together with your supervision.
At present 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 device use, it’s going to allow us to construct new AI brokers that carry us nearer to our imaginative and prescient of a common assistant.
We’re getting 2.0 into the arms of builders and trusted testers in the present day. And we’re working shortly to get it into our merchandise, main with Gemini and Search. Beginning in the present day our Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental mannequin will probably be obtainable to all Gemini customers. We’re additionally launching a brand new characteristic referred to as Deep Analysis, which makes use of superior reasoning and lengthy context capabilities to behave as a analysis assistant, exploring advanced matters and compiling studies in your behalf. It is obtainable in Gemini Superior in the present day.
No product has been reworked extra by AI than Search. Our AI Overviews now attain 1 billion individuals, enabling them to ask completely new forms 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 sort out 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 12 months. And we’ll proceed to carry AI Overviews to extra nations and languages over the subsequent 12 months.
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 in the present day Trillium is usually obtainable to clients to allow them to construct with it too.
If Gemini 1.0 was about organizing and understanding data, Gemini 2.0 is about making it rather more helpful. I can’t wait to see what this subsequent period brings.
