Google postpones the release of Gemini, its next-generation AI chatbot, until next year
The most recent information that is becoming available indicates that Google has decided to postpone the release of Gemini, its next-generation AI chatbot, until the following year. Google notably revealed Gemini as its next-generation foundation model at I/O 2023, and it was scheduled to launch the following week. On the other hand, Gemini won’t be released until January 2024.
According to reports, Google’s most potent conversational AI is called Gemini. Politicians and policymakers were expected to attend several events in California, New York, and Washington next week, where this multimodal AI chatbot was scheduled to make its debut, according to reports from The Information.

However, following internal investigation, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, chose to postpone the Gemini launch. Google allegedly discovered that the AI was unreliable in answering certain non-English queries. Launching Gemini has been delayed because it has not yet met the requirement of having global language support, which is essential for Google to make Gemini surpass standards such as OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Furthermore, it is stated that Gemini’s utilization of more processing power than Chat GPT-4 allowed it to significantly outperform the latter in private tests. November saw the announcement by Google’s CEO that “the company is focused on getting Gemini 1.0 out as soon as possible, making sure it’s a competitive and state-of-the-art, and we’ll build from there on.”
The vice president of Google and manager of Bard and Google Assistant, Sissie Hsiao, allegedly used the following example to demonstrate the capabilities of the Gemini AI chatbot , “I’ve seen some pretty amazing things. Like, If I’m trying to bake a cake, draw me 3 pictures of the steps to how to ice a three-layer cake, and Gemini will create those images. These are completely novel pictures, not just pictures from the internet.“
