That may explain why Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind and the head of all the company’s AI efforts, is so excited about how all-encompassing the new Gemini 2.0 model is. Google is releasing Gemini 2.

Google Gemini 2.0 — a major upgrade to the core workings of Google's AI that the company launched Wednesday — is designed to help generative AI move from answering users' questions to taking action on its own,

Google is also investing in video games and AI in another way: creating playable virtual worlds on the fly from a prompt image using a “foundation world model” called Genie 2 that it showed off last week. That work seems early, too: Genie 2 can only generate consistent worlds for “up to a minute,” Google says.

Google AI research lab DeepMind says its newly released artificial intelligence model, Gemini 2.0, will be the bedrock used to build more advanced AI agents. An AI agent powered by Gemini 2.0, released Dec.

Gemini 2 is the latest AI model from Google and the first version of the family to launch is the fast, yet powerful Gemini 2 Flash. The company says this is the start of its 'agent era' where AI is capable of performing tasks without human input.

Developers can experiment with the new Gemini 2.0 Flash model, accessible through the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Google's Gemini 2.0 brings advanced features like multimodal outputs, long context understanding, and native tool use. Can this agentic AI model surpass its rivals and lead the next AI wave?

Google debuted a new version of its flagship artificial intelligence model that it said is twice as fast as its previous version and will power virtual agents that assist users. The new model, Gemini 2.

Google (GOOGL) unveiled its most capable model to date to power the “new agentic era” of artificial intelligence.
