Google unleashes wave of AI updates: As part of a package of news items, Google dropped Gemini 2.0, which it claims will help push agentic AI apps ahead, a ‘Flash’ version of Gemini 2.0 that is better than Gemini 1.5 flagship and cheaper, an AI assistant for coding called ‘Jules,’ and a new AI chip that is faster and consumes less power. Phew. Got all that? We’re still reading through all the releases, but Google’s AI just planted a new flag in the #Artificial Intelligence  race to close out the year. So much for OpenAI enjoying clear air for its current drops.

Last Thursday, an experimental new version of Google’s Gemini model surprised some by immediately vaulting to the top of a closely watched AI leaderboard, placing it ahead of ChatGPT 4o.

When you look at what Google has just achieved, it’s no wonder OpenAI suddenly released Sora a few hours later to distract the world from the fact they aren’t in the lead anymore in the Large Language Model (LLM) space.

Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro is a generational leap in terms of Multimodal Large Language Models, or MLLMs, much like GPT-4 was to LLMs back in March 2023.

Specifically, it‘s capable of processing millions of words at a time, 40-minute-long videos, or 11 hours of audio in seconds with 99% context retrieval accuracy, absolutely unheard of in the field until today.

The long-sequence era has arrived, and with it, a new dominant player looks down at OpenAI for the first time.

Probably the right call.  If they had been granted that, their competitive advantage with consumers would be even more unassailable
