Google’s Flagship Gemini AI Model Gets a Major Upgrade


Just two months after Alphabet made its Gemini AI model public, it’s rolling out a new version that can handle several times as much audio, video, and text input as GPT-4.

Gemini Pro 1.5, launching with limited availability today, is more powerful than its predecessor and can handle huge amounts of text, video, or audio input at a time. Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, which developed the new model, compares its vast capacity for input to a person’s working memory, something he explored years ago as a neuroscientist. Hassabis says that one use for models that can handle large amounts of text, tested by researchers at Google DeepMind, is identifying the important takeaways in Discord discussions with thousands of messages.
