Google Gemini, the multimodal AI model, is here; Know its features and use cases

Microsoft is increasingly investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and is introducing various tools for its users. After launching the generative AI chatbot Bing, Microsoft introduced Copilot AI which is a huge umbrella for all AI tools. Earlier, the Copilot AI was only available for PCs, however, now a dedicated Microsoft Copilot app for Android is out and it does not require users to sign in through their Microsoft account. As of now, the Microsoft Copilot app is available for free to download from the Play Store. Know how the Microsoft Copilot app will function on Android devices.

There are many things you can point to in the present and past of the gaming world and see how far things have come and how certain “practices” have changed over time. For example, in the past, the idea of doing “special editions” or “collectibles” that you would get alongside a game’s purchase was very few and far between, if done at all. But fast forward to now, and they’re all over the place! Plus, sometimes the exclusives are just simple cosmetics versus true “meaningful content,” like with Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League and its PlayStation-exclusive stuff.

Apple is set to launch the fourth generation of the popular Apple AirPods in 2024, likely to introduce a new design, an updated case, and the addition of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that two versions of the APple AirPods 4 will be unveiled, each catering to different price points with the aim of replacing both the AirPods 3 and the more affordable AirPods 2. Consumers, often opting for the cheaper model due to minimal differences between AirPods 2 and AirPods 3, can expect an enhanced audio experience with the upcoming AirPods release.

Google Deepmind has recently announced Gemini, its new AI model to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT. While both models are examples of “generative AI”, which learn to find patterns of input training information to generate new data (pictures, words or other media), ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) which focuses on producing text.

Valve has announced a major update for Steam, bringing with it new features for the Steam Workshop, and how players can download and organise the various game mods available through the service. According to a post on the Steam blog, the company has announced that the new Steam Workshop features are available on the Steam Client beta branch.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella just dropped a short video on X (formerly Twitter) where he highlighted the achievements of the company in the artificial intelligence division. In the ‘Pace of AI innovation in 2023' video, he provided a few examples where organizations used AI tools by the company to make a positive impact on the world. Microsoft launched Copilot earlier this year, powered by OpenAI's GPT technology, and used it to build its own AI products for enterprises. In the span of just a few months, Microsoft has built several partnerships with businesses across the globe where companies are using its AI systems to build consumer-centric products, he revealed.

Trainwrecks aren't exactly rare in the gaming industry, but it's rare that they're this spectacular. After a suspiciously-polished trailer, The Day Before quickly became one of Steam's most wishlisted games. 

Google has taken its biggest step of the year in terms of introducing top-notch AI features with the introduction of Gemini AI. Google launched three Large Language Models as part of the Google Gemini AI which includes 3 things - Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro and Gemini Nano. While the Ultra version of Google AI feature is the smartest of all, the Pro version is being used in the generative AI tool Bard and the Nano version is being used in the Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. These advancements in Gemini AI features are said to bring improved learning, reasoning and understanding to its users.

When the film world gets one of its unexpected cross-studio theme pairings — the way summer 1998 offered two “impending planetary apocalypse” movies in Armageddon and Deep Impact, or 2022 gave us two major Pinocchio movies — it’s rarely clear on the surface whether the projects stem from corporate copycatting, divergent evolution, or sheer coincidence. Ultimately, it’s rarely worth debating: What matters is whether the films are enjoyable and well-made, and whether they screen better together.

Google on Tuesday took the wraps off its highly anticipated next-generation foundation model called Gemini. Google claims that it has tested the benchmarks of the Gemini model against those of GPT-4, and the company claims that its AI modal has defeated OpenAI's LLM in 30 out of 32 benchmarks, including reasoning, math, reading comprehension, and Python code generation. The company has already integrated one of the models, Gemini Pro, into Google Bard, further improving its capabilities. Two days have passed since it launched and now that people have had a chance to try Google's latest AI innovation, it has drawn both positive and negative reactions from experts and users on social media platforms.

Thrasher is a surreal VR rhythm action game from the creator of Thumper, and it's coming in 2024. It's the work of Brian Gibson in collaboration with programmer and designer Mike Mandel. (The former also plays in Lightning Bolt which is a brilliant band).

The artificial intelligence (AI) race is heating up, with the world's biggest tech companies making efforts to rapidly advance this technology. With OpenAI's GPT being extremely popular, Google has now launched its next-generation foundation model called Gemini. It has been launched in three sizes - Nano, Pro, and Ultra. While the Gemini Nano model can run natively on Android devices such as Google Pixel phone, the Gemini Pro has been integrated into Google Bard, the company's own AI chatbot. On the other hand, the Gemini Ultra is the top-of-the-line version. Google claims it is even more powerful than ChatGPT and is the most powerful Large Language Model (LLM) ever created.
