Based on the latest interviews and reports, here’s what we know so far about Gemini, Google’s upcoming AI system to compete with OpenAI.
At the Google I/O developer conference in May 2023, CEO Sundar Pichai announced the company’s upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) system, Gemini.
The large language model (LLM) is being developed by the Google DeepMind division (Brain Team + DeepMind). It could compete with AI systems like ChatGPT from OpenAI and possibly outperform them.
While details remain scarce, here is what we can piece together from the latest interviews and reports about Google Gemini.
Google Gemini Will Be Multimodal
Pichai stated that Gemini combines the strengths of DeepMind’s AlphaGo system, known for mastering the complex game Go, with extensive language modeling capabilities.
He said it is designed from the ground up to be multimodal, integrating text, images, and other data types. This could allow for more natural conversational abilities.
Pichai also hinted at future capabilities like memory and planning that could enable tasks requiring reasoning.
