Gemini AI Launch Put on Hold: ChatGPT Takes the Lead!
Google’s chat AI, ‘Gemini AI’, designed to compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, is now slated for release in January next year after the launch has been delayed.
As reported by The Information, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has canceled a series of Gemini events in California, New York and Washington for next week.
The reason for this decision is that the company found that the AI, Gemini, was not consistently effective at processing queries in languages other than English.
The planned but unannounced events were supposed to be Google’s most significant product launch of the year. This comes after Google has made significant efforts to expand its computing capacity and bring together large teams urgently to compete with OpenAI, according to the report.
Google’s Gemini is designed to handle a wide variety of applications by combining different data such as images and text for more advanced tasks.
Gemini is expected to utilize multimodal learning techniques to process and generate different data formats such as text, images, code and audio. This allows it to perform tasks such as creating creative text formats, translating languages, and coding.
This new AI model is supposed to have strong authoring capabilities that will allow it to generate human-like text, translate languages, write a variety of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative manner.
Google’s DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said in June that Gemini would be better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Hassabis mentioned that engineers are using technology from the artificial intelligence program AlphaGo — which was the first to beat a champion human player of the board game Go — to make the Geminis. Gemini is also likely to bring improvements to Google’s existing AI and AI-enhanced products such as Bard, Google Assistant and Search.
This new AI system was first teased at Google’s developer conference in May, when the company announced new AI projects.
