Google Gemini AI Chatbot Welcomes Flash Upgrade

2024-07-26

Google's Gemini AI chatbot is about to undergo a major upgrade, with the integration of the latest Gemini 1.5 Flash AI model. This upgrade will significantly improve response speed and greatly enhance the processing of conversation content. Amar Subramanya, Vice President of Gemini Engineering, announced this transformative upgrade in an official blog post, emphasizing that with the activation of 1.5 Flash, users will experience a "double leap in overall quality and response efficiency, especially in the fields of intelligent reasoning and image recognition, with significant performance improvements." Subramanya further revealed that Gemini's contextual processing capabilities will also undergo a qualitative leap, with its ability to process text expanding to four times its original capacity, reaching up to 32K tokens. This means that the coherence and depth of conversations will be greatly enhanced. It is worth noting that the remarkable 1.5 Flash version made its debut at Google I/O developer conference in May this year. The free web version and mobile app version of Gemini have officially opened this feature for users to experience firsthand. Google also announced several new developments for Gemini, aimed at further optimizing the user experience. To help users quickly locate and verify accurate information on research topics, Gemini will now directly display links to relevant content in the "Fact Check" feature. Users can simply tap the gray arrow at the end of a paragraph to easily access the information and achieve seamless knowledge integration. In addition, Google plans to gradually integrate Gemini into Google Messages in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions to expand its influence. Furthermore, a Gemini version targeting teenage users will be launched in over 40 languages in the coming week, showcasing Google's extensive layout in cross-language communication and education.
