Google’s AI Boss Says Gemini's New Abilities Point the Way to AGI


Google’s AI models are learning to reason, wield agency, and build virtual models of the real world. The company’s AI lead, Demis Hassabis, says all this—and more—will be needed for true AGI.

Deep Think uses more compute time and several undisclosed innovations to improve upon this trick, says Tulsee Doshi, product lead for the Gemini models. Mariner will be offered as a “research preview” through a new subscription plan called Google AI Ultra costing a hefty $249.99 per month. Astra’s abilities depend on Gemini modeling the physical world to understand how it works, something Hassabis says is crucial to biological intelligence.
