December will witness some of the major AI launches of the year. After the rumors of OpenAI’s Orion and GPT 5, Google is said to be planning to launch the Gemini 2.0 AI model this December. Major AI companies, other than Google and OpenAI, like xAI, Meta, and Anthropic, are all planning to bring the best out of technology by the end of the year.
The next version of Google’s chatbot Gemini with other updates will be released this December. It is also rumored that the model release won’t have the expected performance but still, tech enthusiasts hope for other interesting capacities.
Google is releasing the updated model of its AI chatbot, Gemini 2.0 a year after its initial launch. Updates were previously done to Gemini this May, but the December release gives hope for a better version.
Google opened Gemini 1.5 shortly after its launch in May to everybody other than its Advanced subscribers as the competition between ChatGPT and Gemini is rising. Many updated features of ChatGPT are only available for its subscribers whereas Gemini is free to use. Gemini 2.0 is also reported to be open to all from the launch onwards and is supposed to take over the market advantage by the end of the year with its adjacent release with GPT 5.
There are not many specifications on what to expect from the launch and speculations are that not much can be expected from the technology other than some updations to the existing model.
Google I/O 2024 event previously brought the latest AI features with other major releases and announcements. The latest models of Gemini 1.5 Flash and Pro were introduced with their integration into Gmail, Google Docs, and other tools that enhanced the workplace tools. Imagen 3, Veo, and AI Overviews were also introduced at the event.
Another launch by Google which is awaited is the Project Astra. It is titled as a universal AI agent that is helpful in everyday life. The demo videos provided for the project look like the future of AI models. The AI assistant is giving solutions for a live video on different topics. The information is shown in real-time and is blurring the distinction between virtual and real.
The responses are all natural and the user and AI assistant are in a conversation with each other in real time. The AI assistant explains the functions of the objects shown live, solves equations, recognizes places, memorizes objects, interprets literature, and many more. Users can talk to the AI without putting much effort into typing a text or uploading files and is more natural and personal without any lag or delay.
Google has also stated that some of these innovations from Project Astra will be coming to the Gemini app and web experience later this year and the rumors of the Gemini 2.0 launch don’t look like something not to be excited about. Even enabling some of the features of the natural AI assistant to Gemini would take the AI chatbot to the next level.
Improved AI features from tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, and OpenAI will be launched soon one after another towards the end of this year and the beginning of the next year. These launches would soon witness major AI advancements that are far more futuristic than we have expected based on the announcements and speculations now.
The release of Gemini 2.0 has not yet been confirmed by Google till now and an official announcement is expected soon. The awaited Google statement is also expected to provide the details of the updated version of Gemini.
