Google has quietly pushed back the launch of its next-generation AI model, Gemini, until next year, according to a report. The company was originally planning to release Gemini in late 2023.
Now, Google is planning to launch Gemini in early 2024.
Gemini is a multimodal AI model, which means that it can process and understand multiple types of data, including text, images, and audio. It is said to be capable of generating human-quality text and images, as well as creating websites based on a sketch or written description.
Google has not publicly commented on the delay of Gemini’s launch. However, sources say that the company is still working on improving the model’s ability to handle non-English prompts.
Gemini is expected to be a major competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-4, which is currently the most powerful AI model in the world. However, it is unclear whether Gemini will be able to match GPT-4’s performance.
The delay of Gemini’s launch is a setback for Google in the AI race. However, the company is still expected to be a major player in the field for years to come.
Gemini’s delay sheds light on the complexities of creating AI models that can effectively handle diverse languages and prompts beyond English. Google’s decision to postpone the launch also shows the challenges in ensuring AI models are capable of understanding and generating content in multiple languages seamlessly.
