Google Rolls Out Faster Gemini AI Model to Power Agents
Company expects AI assistants will follow its users around the web
The products featured on Wednesday show how Google’s premier AI lab, Google DeepMind, is playing a more pivotal role in product development.
Photographer: Gabby Jones/BloombergGoogle debuted a new version of its flagship artificial intelligence model that it said is twice as fast as its previous version and will power virtual agents that assist users.
The new model, Gemini 2.0, can generate images and audio across languages, and can assist during Google searches and coding projects, the company said Wednesday. The new capabilities of Gemini “make it possible to build agents that can think, remember, plan, and even take action on your behalf,” said Tulsee Doshi, a director of product management at the company, in a briefing with reporters.
