How Gemini's 'on-premise' upgrade could help your enterprise and advance sovereign AI

Gemini on Google Distributed Cloud should support new use cases, such as internal translation services and faster decision-making processes.

Google has announced what it expects will be a boost to enabling corporate AI, with the company turning on the on-premise version of its Gemini family of large language model AI programs, as provided by its Google Distributed Cloud(GDC) on-premise offering. The announcement is a follow-up to the initial unveiling of on-premise Gemini that Alphabet made in April: "We are excited to announce that Gemini on GDC is now available to customers," said the company, "bringing Google's most advanced models directly into your data center." The announcement is replete with quotes from early customers, including Toru Maruta, the head of advancing business platform at Japanese telecom giant KDDI, who stated that the GDC offering "will bring cutting-edge AI capabilities, meet specific performance requirements, and address data locality and regulatory needs of Japanese businesses and consumers."
