Recently, there were rumors that OpenAI would release a new ChatGPT-5 model, but Sam Altman, the chief of OpenAI, dismissed those rumors as “fake news.” Now, we’re hearing that Google may launch Gemini 2.0 in the next few months.
Everything You Need To Know About Google Gemini 2.0 And The New Project Astra AI Assistant
Similar to the ChatGPT rumor, this information also comes from The Verge (through 9to5Google). The last major update for Gemini was in February when they released Gemini 1.5. Google uses the name Gemini for both its AI bots and the models behind them.
The report doesn’t provide details on what might be new or improved in Gemini 2.0. However, based on past releases, we can expect smarter responses, faster processing, support for longer inputs, and better reasoning and coding abilities.
According to the report, Gemini 2.0 may not deliver the performance boosts its developers initially wanted. Still, it’s noted that this trend is happening with all large language models (LLMs), not just Google’s.
Expectations for Gemini 2.0 Features
If Google (and possibly OpenAI) launches upgrades to their AI models before the year ends, it would show how much time and resources companies are putting into artificial intelligence to stay competitive.
Recently, AI companies have introduced new video tools, enhanced image generation, and customized search features. Next week, millions of iPhone users will also get to experience Apple Intelligence for the first time.
That said, we’re still waiting for Google to launch the next-generation Project Astra AI assistant, which was demonstrated at Google I/O 2024 in May. Project Astra integrates multiple inputs and outputs in a more advanced and natural way than ever before.
Although we’ve had some hands-on experience with Project Astra, it doesn’t seem to be directly linked to Gemini 2.0, although it might be powered by it. We’ll keep you updated with any official news as soon as it’s available.
