A notice from Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai:
Data 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 info and make it accessible and helpful. And it’s why we proceed to push the frontiers of AI to prepare that info throughout each enter and make it accessible by way of any output, in order that it may be actually helpful for you.
That was our imaginative and prescient once 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, photographs, audio and code, and course of much more of it.
Now tens of millions 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 beloved by so many.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve 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 this time 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 arms of builders and trusted testers right now. And we’re working shortly to get it into our merchandise, main with Gemini and Search. Beginning right now our Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental mannequin will likely be accessible 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 complicated matters and compiling stories in your behalf. It is accessible in Gemini Superior right now.
No product has been remodeled extra by AI than Search. Our AI Overviews now attain 1 billion folks, enabling them to ask solely new varieties of questions — shortly changing into one in all 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 complicated matters and multi-step questions, together with superior math equations, multimodal queries and coding. We began restricted testing this week and will likely be rolling it out extra broadly early subsequent 12 months. And we’ll proceed to convey 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 right now Trillium is mostly accessible to clients 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 way more helpful. I can’t wait to see what this subsequent period brings.
