Main Key points discussion on Google I/O 2024

1. Updates to the Gemini Language Model

Google has published a new version of Gemini 1.5 Pro, which performs better overall, offers greater multimodal reasoning capabilities, and is more beneficial in its context pane. This is similar to how Gemini 1.5 Pro has been superseded by Gemini 1.5 Flash, a lighter version designed for larger applications that has been well tested by consumers and developers. Both models have a million-token context window in preview in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. As a consequence, starting today, Google Cloud users and developers utilizing the API will have access to a context window with two million tokens through the waiting list. Additionally, Gemini 1.5 Pro is being connected with Workspace applications and Gemini Advanced, among other Google products.

 

2. An Improvement for Gemini

To welcome in a new age, the company is modernizing the Gemini. Being a frontier model designed to process text, photos, video, code, and more with ease will make it stand out. It also places a greater value on clearness and efficiency. Developers may now verify insight into Gemini’s process for producing its outputs, which boosts Gemini’s credibility and encourages more conscientious AI development.

 

3. Gemini 1.5 Pro

Among other things, Gemini 1.5 Pro is the most advanced language model available to Gemini Advanced subscribers exclusively and has the largest context window of any consumer chatbot. It can analyze many large papers, up to 1,500 pages overall, or swiftly summarize 100 emails in a matter of seconds. Soon, users will be able to manage code bases containing more than 30,000 lines of code or a whole video clip.

 

4. Gemini Live

There will be a new mobile chat experience available. By making use of the most recent voice technology, communicating with Gemini becomes even more organic. Additionally, Gemini Advanced users may now tailor Gemini to their own tastes through the use of Gems, a feature that allows Gemini to be used as a style counselor, personal trainer, or mentor for creative writing. Furthermore, Gemini continuously adds additional Google applications through “Extensions.”

 

5. Gemini Nano

Google CEO Sundar Pichai made an unexpected announcement at Google I/O 2024: the Gemini Nano. The user can utilize this more lightweight version of Gemini AI when browsing the web. It is intended specifically to be used as an extension in web browsers. Indeed, it will clear the way for fresh opportunities in web development. With the Gemini Nano, users can enjoy instant conversation bots integrated in webpages, real-time content summarization, and tailored search experiences from within the browser.

 

6. NotepadLM

NotebookLM allows audio outputs to benefit from Gemini’s multimodal capabilities. Kids’ schoolwork will be completed more easily with its assistance. The Gemini 1.5 Pro is available on Notebook. This application, which has a straightforward instruction manual, assists in brainstorming and organizing ideas from the collection of quotations and sources. Compiling comprehensive study aids with tests and a frequently asked question section will be beneficial. Future schooling will never be better than this.

 

7. Transforming Google Photos

The recent addition of Gemini to Google Photos will improve AI in the images. This makes it possible for the Gemini’s search features to rapidly and simply access particular memories and information. Users will be able to locate a specific memory using Google’s upcoming “Ask Photos” function. This will improve the platform’s usability.

 

8. AI agent for daily life: Project Astra

Google CEO Sundar Pichai made an unexpected announcement: Project Astra is an artificial intelligence agent for daily living. It has the potential to replace Microsoft’s CoPilot and OpenAI’s GPT-4o. Similar to Google’s Gemini, this AI agent will operate on large language models. Compared to other AI agents available on the market, it is more easily accessed by developers of all sizes. Without requiring a lot of processing power, developers will be able to create AI-powered apps on this scalable and affordable platform. This is undoubtedly changing how AI is currently incorporated into regular applications.

 

9. Google Hardware – Pixel

In theory, the Pixel 8A is not included in the conference lineup because it was released by Google one week before to Google I/O 2024. However, following the success of the Pixel 8 series, the smartphone is a much-anticipated model.

The first affordable Pixel variant with a 120 Hz refresh rate on display is this model. In line with the Pixel 8 Pro, it also has a powerful Tensor G3 chipset. The smartphone has an Ultra HDR capability and arrives one month before of Apple’s WWDC 2024, compared to its predecessors.

 

10. Google Video search
