Google has reportedly provided access to the early version of its new AI software, Gemini, to a select group of companies.
This idea was first announced at the Google I/O developer conference in May 2023 by Alphabet’s CEO Sundar Pichai. At that time, the artificial intelligence model was still under training and was being tested for safety. Now, a report by the Information believes that giving external developers access to the software means that Google has come closer to incorporating it into their own customer services, such as Google Bard AI.
What is Gemini AI?
Google’s Gemini is a large language model (LLM) that will enable users to generate content based on text inputs, summarize articles, draft emails and music lyrics, and write software code, among others.
According to Google, Gemini AI was created “to be multimodal, highly efficient at tool and API integrations, and to enable future innovations such as memory and planning.”
Google’s Chief Scientist Jeffrey Dean, in his updated professional bio over the summer, stated that Gemini AI will utilize Pathways, Google’s new AI infrastructure, to scale up training on diverse datasets.
Furthermore, Google’s DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis provided additional details to the Wired. He asserted that techniques from AlphaGo, such as reinforcement learning, may give Gemini new abilities like reasoning and problem-solving. He also states that Gemini AI will be available in different sizes and capabilities.
Will Gemini AI take on OpenAI?
Gemini AI may be Google’s chance to take on OpenAI, the company that developed GPT-4, a model which has already been incorporated the technology into its apps and services. Throughout this year, Google has intensified its investments in generative AI, evidently aiming to make a big break in the market. The potentially successful launch of Gemini AI may give them the opportunity to do just that.
Reports indicate that Google plays to make Gemini AI available to companies through Google Cloud Vertex AI service.
