Google Introduces AI News, Where It Wants to Be the Benchmark



However, the announcement was partially eclipsed by rival OpenAI, which on Monday had presented ChatGPT-4o, a new, free, faster version with improved capabilities of its popular platform.


At its annual developer meeting, Google detailed that its new feature "stands out in summaries, dialogue platform applications, image and video subtitles, data extraction and extensive documents, among others".


At the base is a process called 'distillation', which consists of transferring essential knowledge and capabilities from a larger model to a smaller and more efficient one.


Google announced that Gemini 1.5 Flash is available for developers to test in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI starting Tuesday.


Google has opened Gemini 1.5 Pro to Gemini Advanced subscribers -- which costs $19.99 per month -- in more than 35 languages.


Our new announcement was the immediate availability of Gemini's new AI function, 'Gems', which will allow you to customize a dialogue platform, for example, to create a personal trainer, a 'chef' or a creative writing teacher, for Gemini Advanced subscribers.


This is a product similar to OpenAI's GPT, which allows you to create custom ChatGPT dialogue platforms, or Meta's custom platforms.
