From CNET: Another day, another generative AI update.
Google's AI subsidiary DeepMind has previewed Gemini 1.5 Pro, an upgraded model of Google's renamed Bard chatbot Gemini. Gemini got its new name less than a week ago along with the release of the premium, paid version, Ultra, which Google called "our largest and most capable state-of-the-art AI model."
Gemini 1.5 Pro is the latest evolution of Google's chatbot, which also recently gained the ability to generate images from text.
Gemini 1.5 Pro can ingest video, images, audio and text in order to answer questions, and it boasts multiple advantages over its predecessors -- but most of us can't get our hands on it yet. In a call with press on Wednesday, DeepMind announced it's giving access to developers and enterprise customers first.
