The new AI model will be available in a Gemini app with more than 650 million monthly users and in Google\u2019s world-leading search engine, where Gemini has more than two billion users monthly through its Overviews function, according to Kavukcuoglu.<\/p>\n
\u201cGemini has set quite a new pace in terms of both releasing the models but also getting them to people faster than ever before,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have been shipping very rapidly and learning through all that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Caught off guard by ChatGPT and mocked for early blunders with its own generative artificial intelligence efforts, Google has pulled off a dramatic turnaround since the first generation of Gemini was launched in late 2023, becoming a major player in consumer-facing AI.<\/p>\n
Just months later, the California-based giant unveiled AI Overviews, a feature integrated into Google Search that caused online ridicule for its sometimes outlandish answers to queries.<\/p>\n
The release of Gemini\u2019s latest iteration, only nine months after the previous version, shows that Google is not letting up in the AI race that has ChatGPT-maker OpenAI fighting hard to maintain its dominance in the generative AI field.<\/p>\n
That has seen the big tech companies pump tens of billions of dollars in capital expenditure to pay for AI\u2019s huge costs, with Wall Street\u2019s deep faith in the promise of the AI revolution beginning to show cracks.<\/p>\n
Google CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledged to the BBC that there was \u201cirrationality\u201d behind the boom in artificial intelligence investment, which has fuelled a historic rally on the financial markets.<\/p>\n
He warned of the \u201cimmense\u201d energy requirements of AI and said that people should not \u201cblindly trust\u201d everything AI results tell them, defending the benefit of using other tools like search engines in conjunction with chatbots or overviews.<\/p>\n
Google vice-president of product Robby Stein called the integration of Gemini 3 a \u201chuge step forward\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s possible with Gemini 3 is incredible reasoning capability that you\u2019ve heard so much about,\u201d Stein said in the briefing. \u201cYou\u2019ll be able to answer some of your hardest questions right within search.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gemini 3 responds to natural language queries or commands with a level of depth and nuance not previously seen, Tulsee Doshi, Google\u2019s senior director of product management, contended.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe responses that users get from this model are clever, concise, direct, and we try to make sure that it avoids cliche and flattery,\u201d Kavukcuoglu said.<\/p>\n
Google also introduced a new software development platform named Antigravity that provides an AI agent capable of autonomously coding as directed in plain language.<\/p>\n
The Gemini team said it also ramped up security in the latest model, making it more resistant to cyber attacks, prompt injections and other issues.<\/p>\n
