Google started the Google I/O 2024 event, which is expected to introduce many things, from Android 15 to the new features of the Gemini artificial intelligence application, from phones such as Pixel 8a and Pixel Fold 2 to mixed reality experiences.
Although it is commonplace for technology giants to introduce new technologies as if they are competing with each other, the activities of giants such as Apple and Google have a much greater impact. As Google’s highly anticipated 2024 I/0 event opens its doors in the USA, there are many new features that stand out at the event. technology, product and experience It was expected to happen. On the first day of the event, Google focused on the Gemini artificial intelligence model.
According to the news circulating backstage before the event, Google I/O 2024New features of Gemini artificial intelligence, new Pixel 8a and Pixel Fold 2 smartphones, Android 15 operating system and mixed reality technologies are expected to appear in 2018. Especially the statements to be made about artificial intelligence were eagerly awaited.
To the event Türkiye time at 20.00 start was given. The event will continue tomorrow.
The event started with artificial intelligence and Gemini
The event started with a video highlighting the changes in the last year and highlighting artificial intelligence. Then the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, took the stage. PichaiHe started his speech by talking about the history of the Gemini model. Google CEO stated that there are more than 1 million applications for Gemini Advanced and the number of users using Gemini in applications is reached 2 billion told. Gemini 1.5 Pro was also announced.
Here are the features of Gemini 1.5 Pro
AI Overviews
Google Overviews app will be available to users in the USA first
Google Search
Google artificial intelligence model also for calls will enable you to use it. For example, instead of searching photos one by one “Show me photos of the day I went to the match” When asked, you will find photos from that day. It will also be possible to display photos in any order.
Google Context Window
With Context Window, it will be possible to edit libraries, data libraries, and different data by simply typing commands. For example, after you install your code library, if you write what you want, it will be able to generate codes accordingly. Gemini 1.5 Pro, which has 1 million contexts, will be available to developers worldwide.
As a surprise at the event, Pichai announced the number of contexts. You increased it to 2 millionHe explained. With Gemini 1.5 Pro, which has been added to Workspace Labs, operations such as searching in e-mails will also be possible.
In the demo demonstration for Gemini 1.5 Pro, the voice response feature of Gemini 1.5 Pro was used to explain physics to a child. The artificial intelligence model answered a question asked instantly, without deviating from the topic and by combining different topics.
Artificial Intelligence Agents
This feature of Gemini 1.5 Pro, which is in the testing phase, can perform different operations together, for example, manage the return process of a shoe that was ordered but not liked, or collect the necessary information for a service and receive an offer. Thus, artificial intelligence ceases to be just intelligence and turns into an intelligent system.
AlphaFold 3
This artificial intelligence, used for pharmaceutical studies, can create new drugs and organic structure models:
Gemini 1.5 Flash
Gemini 1.5 Flash is a model that uses 1 million tokens, developed for faster and less latency tasks.
Project Astra
Project Astra was introduced as an artificial intelligence model developed for the purpose of being general artificial intelligence. In the statement from Google, Project Astra can perceive the environment “like people” and answer questions. This model, which can be used with a camera, can interpret what it “sees”. He even knows where he is and the locations of things he has seen before. Artificial intelligence, which can also recognize concepts, seems to create great excitement.
Imagen 3
Imagen 3, which is much more advanced and can understand much longer commands, can now create text from objects and create much more realistic images. This feature will come to Google Labs and commercial subscriptions soon.
Google Loops
Another feature of artificial intelligence is that it is now much more skillful in music. The Music feature can organize the samples according to the commands given.
Google Veo
Google Veo, which can be used with the Google application called Video FX, allows you to create video examples, as we see in Sora, according to the commands given. More advanced visual creation and to create a storyboard This model, which allows you to try different techniques, is also praised for being very fast. The waiting list for the feature has also been opened.
trillium
Google announced the 6th generation of Trillium TPU at the I/O 2024 event. The new TPU, which will be announced at the end of the year, will be used for machine learning, artificial intelligence and data centers. Google CEO Sindar Pichai also stated that they will benefit from NVIDA’s new technologies.
New Search Features:
Google, which will offer a new search experience during the Gemini period, will be able to provide information regarding the questions asked in real time. The feature, called Google Overview, will be available to 1 billion people by the end of the year. The feature that will “Google” on our behalf will not end there. It will be able to make optional calls in a layered manner. For example, when you search for something related to Yoga, it will provide real-time information about yoga, yoga halls and communication with them. This feature will also be able to make plans for us.
With the new search technology, video calls can now be made. Artificial intelligence can not only tell what it sees but also answer questions. So when you pull up a leaky sink and ask, “How can I fix this?” When asked, it will be possible to get an answer accordingly.
Gemini Workspace
Starting next month, Gemini Workspace, where Gemini features can be used, will also be opened to companies. Gemini for Workspace coming soon It will be able to provide service in 68 languages. Artificial intelligence will be able to summarize e-mails and take necessary actions. With this feature, artificial intelligence emails, drive files editing and compiling can be used and will help organize. With this feature, virtual colleagues can be created and added to employee networks.
Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash are available starting today. The price of Gemini 1.5 Pro was $7 for 1 million tokens, and the price of Gemini 1.5 Flash was $0.35 for 1 million tokens. 1 million tokens of Gemini 1.5 Pro up to 128Kb were announced as 3.5 dollars.
