Recently, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed in an internal strategic meeting that 2025 will be a "crucial" year for the company, with the expansion of the AI model Gemini being the top priority for the upcoming year.

According to CNBC, which obtained an audio recording of the December 18th strategic meeting, Pichai and other executives, dressed in slightly comical holiday sweaters, discussed the company's plans for the coming year.

Pichai emphasized that 2025 is a significant year for Google, and the company must fully recognize the urgency of the current situation and accelerate its actions. He acknowledged that Google still has some catching up to do in the field of AI. Despite this, he remains optimistic about the progress of the Gemini application, which is based on the eponymous Google AI model. However, he also pointed out that Google needs to make more efforts in 2025 to close the gap and establish a leading position in this area.

He stressed that the large-scale expansion of the Gemini model to consumer applications will be the most important task for Google next year. This decision reflects the company's strategic adjustment in the current technological competition and its high regard for the future development of AI technology.

As tech giants increase their investments in AI, Google faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Pichai's remarks not only set the direction for the company's future development but also indicate that Google will engage in more intense competition and exploration in the AI field.
