Google's developments in AI. Greetings from the Gemini Era

Google has released new versions of its AI services, such as Gemini 1.5 Flash, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Project Astra, which will develop AI assistants of the future. Larger operations can be handled by the faster, more efficient Gemini 1.5 Flash model. Despite being lighter than the 1.5 Pro, it still has a revolutionary long context window of one million tokens and can reason across a wide variety of data kinds.

According to Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, 1.5 Flash excels at data extraction from lengthy documents and tables, chat apps, image and video captioning, and summarizing. By “distillation,” it learns from 1.5 Pro by concentrating on important details. With improved code generation, reasoning, conversation, and a wider context window, Google improved Gemini 1.5 Pro.

We’ve always wanted to build a universal agent that will be useful in everyday life. Project Astra, shows multimodal understanding and real-time conversational capabilities, — Google CEP Sundar Pichai

“With technology like this, it’s easy to envision a future where people could have an expert AI assistant by their side, through a phone or glasses.”

Gemini 1.5 Pro was added by the firm to Google products such as Workspace applications and Gemini Advanced. Gemini Nano can now identify multimodal inputs, including images in addition to text.

For improved performance, Google unveiled the Gemma 2, a new sophisticated variant. Additionally, they included their first vision-language model, PaliGemma. With prototype agents that can comprehend more and react more rapidly in chat, Google also provided an update on Project Astra, a vision for the future of AI assistants.
