Update is a bet by the company in an attempt to lead the artificial intelligence race
presented, this Tuesday (18), the , its ), with the declared objective of leading the fierce race for this technology. “This is our smartest model,” said Koray Kavukcuoglu, head of artificial intelligence at Google, in a briefing with journalists. “We like to think it will help everyone bring whatever idea they have to life,” he added.
Gemini 3 was promoted by its creators as the “world’s best model” for interpreting and processing text, images, audio and video data, and as a powerful digital “agent” capable of creating applications on demand. “Gemini has set a new pace in terms of updating models, but also making them available to people faster than ever before,” he insisted, “we deliver very quickly and learn throughout the process.”
The new AI model will be available in the updated version of the Gemini app, for which Google claims to have 650 million monthly users, while more than two billion people access it monthly through the search engine, according to Kavukcuoglu. Surprised by the emergence of ChatGPT from startup OpenAI, and ridiculed by early errors in the first version of its generative AI in late 2023, Google has advanced considerably since then, becoming a major player in consumer-facing artificial intelligence.
A few months after the release of the first version of Gemini, the Mountain View, California group introduced AI Overviews, a function integrated into its Google Search engine that generated jokes after recommending making cola pizza and eating a rock a day in response to queries. However, Google quickly improved the quality of its AI tool, and according to the group’s vice president of product, Robby Stein, the integration of Gemini 3 into its search engine will represent a “formidable advance”.
