Google has postponed its anticipated Gemini launch events — which were initially scheduled for the next week — with the new release date for its GPT-4 competitor set in January, as reported by The Information. The company first introduced Gemini at the I/O 2023 event as a fundamental model boasting “remarkable multimodal capabilities” early in its development process.
The tech giant originally aimed for a unique end-of-year launch amid the holiday season — which wasn’t publicly announced — but inside sources informed The Information about Gemini’s struggles with non-English inquiries. As a result, CEO Sundar Pichai decided to postpone its release.
Gemini is designed to accommodate various applications, integrating different forms of data like images and text for more complex tasks. In May, Google stated, “Following thorough fine-tuning and safety checks, Gemini will be available in different sizes and abilities.”
Gemini is projected to enhance Google’s existing AI and AI-integrated products such as Bard, Google Assistant, and Search. However, considering the far-reaching implications of this release and the established foothold OpenAI has in the industry, Google seems unwilling to hurriedly launch Gemini.
