Google's long-promised, next-gen generative AI model, Gemini, has arrived. Sort of. The version of Gemini launching this week, Gemini Pro, is essentially a lightweight offshoot of a more powerful, capable Gemini model set to arrive... sometime next year.

Google today announced the launch of its new Gemini large language model (LLM) and with that, the company also launched its new Cloud TPU v5p, an updated version of its Cloud TPU v5e, which launched into general availability earlier this year.

It's no surprise that Google promises that these chips are significantly faster than the v4 TPUs. The team claims that the v5p...

The Pixel 8 Pro will now become the first Android smartphone to be powered by Google's next-generation AI model, Gemini, starting today, the company announced. Gemini Nano, a version of the model designed for running on-device, as on smartphones, will now leverage Google's Tensor G3 to deliver two Pixel 8 Pro features, Summarize in Recorder and Smart Reply in Gboaard. Because the AI runs on-device, it will help keep sensitive data from leaving the phone as well as allow for the use of the featur...
