Google rolled out its latest artificial intelligence models' capabilities at its annual developer conference, Google I/O, on Tuesday as its competition with rivals heats up.
Google used its annual developers' conference, Google I/O 2024, on Tuesday to showcase its latest advances in artificial intelligence as the tech giant's competition with Microsoft-backed rival OpenAI continues to heat up. During the presentation, CEO Sundar Pichai announced Google is revamping its search engine with a new "AI Overview" function for the U.S. starting this week, with plans to expand its availability to other countries in the near future.
The Alphabet-owned tech giant also rolled out its latest Gemini 1.5 Pro model, and made it available to all developers globally starting on Tuesday. Google also announced improvements to its Gemini Pro 1.5 model that is capable of making sense of a massive amount of data. On Tuesday, Google said it was doubling that amount, to 2 million tokens, meaning the AI potentially could answer questions when given thousands of pages of text or more than an hour of video to ingest.
In another sign of fierce competition between OpenAI and Google, the online search leader teased Veo, an AI model that it claims to be its most powerful yet for creating videos on a simple text command. The company announced a scaled-down version of Gemini called 1.5 Flash, which aims to lower the cost of deploying AI and speed up responses. Like the more capable version, Flash can take in large amounts of data while being optimized for chat applications, video and image captioning.
