Google just got caught exaggerating the coolest part of its Gemini launch. The viral hands-on video showing real-time, snappy multimodal interaction was actually stitched together using still image frames and hidden text prompts. Why it matters: Google needs a win against OpenAI, but staging demos only poisons trust in its real capabilities.
Google just rolled out its new Gemini model to Bard, giving the chatbot its biggest boost yet. English users across 170+ countries can now tap a tuned version of Gemini Pro for text prompts, which Google claims outscores GPT-3.5 on key reasoning benchmarks. Next up: early next year, Bard Advanced will unlock the flagship Gemini Ultra.
Google just pushed the release of its flagship AI model Gemini to early 2024, after previously telling cloud customers it would roll out in November. Positioned by DeepMind as its true competitor to GPT-4, the delay shows Google is still having a tough time catching up with OpenAI.
Leaked screenshots reveal Google is quietly bringing its multimodal Gemini model to MakerSuite alongside an unannounced tool called "Stubbs." The secret feature lets creators generate, deploy, and share functional app prototypes with just a single text prompt and an optional reference image.
OpenAI is reportedly rushing to roll out multimodal image capabilities to GPT-4, aiming to preempt Google's upcoming Gemini model. The update, dubbed GPT-Vision alongside a next-gen model codenamed Gobi, will finally make visual inputs like sketches and charts widely available. Why it matters: Google was primed to steal the AI spotlight this fall, and OpenAI is moving aggressively to spoil those plans.
SemiAnalysis just dropped a deep dive revealing Google is accelerating Gemini training to beat GPT-4's pre-training compute by 5x by year-end, and up to 20x next year. The report divides the AI field into GPU-rich giants and struggling GPU-poor startups, noting Google's TPUv5 buildout may be the only force capable of breaking Nvidia's market dominance.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin has stepped back into the trenches, working three to four days a week at the Mountain View office on the upcoming Gemini model. Google is building the multimodal AI to counter OpenAI's ChatGPT4, aiming for a rollout by the end of the year. CEO Sundar Pichai is reportedly enthusiastic about his hands-on return.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis revealed that the team is building Gemini, a flagship model designed to surpass OpenAI's GPT-4. By integrating AlphaGo-style reinforcement learning and tree search, DeepMind aims to equip the system with advanced planning and problem-solving skills, taking on ChatGPT directly.
Google just fired back against reports claiming it scraped ChatGPT data to train its Bard chatbot. A report from The Information alleged an engineer quit for OpenAI after warning against using ShareGPT data, but Google firmly denies Bard used any rival data—though it dodged whether it ever tried in the past.
