Summary: By developing its own conversational AI program named Gemini, Google is ramping up its efforts to rival Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT.

The Information's sources claim that Alphabet's Google has surreptitiously granted early access to a small number of businesses for testing Gemini. This action demonstrates Google's resolve to advance in the quickly developing field of generative AI.

Gemini is a collection of potent language models created to enable a range of applications, including text summarization, chatbots, and content creation. With the aid of this technology, users can easily generate original content such as email draughts, song lyrics, or news stories. Gemini can also help software engineers by generating code automatically and producing original visuals based on user input.

Although Google is reportedly working on a more advanced version of Gemini that will compete with OpenAI's most recent release, GPT-4, the company is presently giving developers access to a sizable version of Gemini. To provide sophisticated AI capabilities to a variety of industries, Google intends to make Gemini available to companies via its Google Cloud Vertex AI service.

The AI market is very competitive, with tech behemoths fighting for supremacy in a range of AI-powered applications. With the launch of Gemini, Google is making a strategic drive to become a major participant in the AI industry, particularly in the area of natural language generation and understanding.

Google has added generative AI to its Search feature for users in Japan and India, delivering text and graphic responses based on prompts, including summaries. Further demonstrating its commitment to democratizing access to cutting-edge AI technology, Google has also made its AI-powered products accessible to enterprise customers for a monthly subscription fee of $30 per user. The tech industry eagerly anticipates Gemini's complete release and its potential influence on the AI landscape as Google continues to invest in generative AI.
