Google has reportedly delayed the launch of its potent artificial intelligence model, Gemini AI, until January of the coming year. Initially scheduled for release this week, the delay is attributed to Gemini’s failure to meet Google’s expectations in handling non-English language text commands.
According to insights from “The Information,” the assessment of foreign languages, beyond English, stands as a critical benchmark for Google to gauge the success of its robust model. The company is striving to achieve a level of capability comparable to or surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-4 model.
Insider sources conveyed to “The Information” that Google has made substantial strides in this domain, demonstrating its ability to meet “some required standards.”
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, underscored in his address at the “Abic” economic conference that the company is targeting the delivery of Gemini with advanced features like memory, planning, and the adept handling of diverse inputs such as text, videos, images, and audio, making it a Multi-Modal model.
Introduced during Google’s developer conference I/O 2023 last May, Gemini was touted as possessing unprecedented capabilities and features compared to any of the company’s existing AI models.
As per “The Information,” Google aims to make Gemini appealing to application and digital service developers by offering diverse versions with varying capabilities. These versions are designed to cater to different developer requirements, ensuring compatibility with a variety of devices. This approach aligns with the strategy observed with the company’s intelligent model PaLM 2, where the introduction of the Gecko version with lightweight capabilities was tailored for smartphones.
The anticipated impact of “Gemini” is expected to be a significant leap forward in the realm of artificial intelligence tools and features offered by Google across its suite of applications, including Workspace, Gmail, YouTube, Drive, Photos, and others.
