Today, we’re thrilled to announce a breakthrough in the world of artificial intelligence. Since the introduction of Gemini 1.0, our team has been working tirelessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible. From refining and enhancing its capabilities to making significant advancements in foundation model development and infrastructure, the result is Gemini 1.5. This new generation model is a game-changer, offering dramatic enhancements in performance, efficiency, and capabilities.
Introducing Gemini 1.5
By Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, on behalf of the Gemini team
This is an exciting time for AI. New advances in the field have the potential to make AI more helpful for billions of people over the coming years. Since introducing Gemini 1.0, we’ve been testing, refining and enhancing its capabilities.
What’s New in Gemini 1.5?
Today, we’re announcing our next-generation model: Gemini 1.5.
Gemini 1.5 delivers dramatically enhanced performance. It represents a step change in our approach, building upon research and engineering innovations across nearly every part of our foundation model development and infrastructure. This includes making Gemini 1.5 more efficient to train and serve, with a new Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture.
Gemini 1.5 Pro
The first Gemini 1.5 model we’re releasing for early testing is Gemini 1.5 Pro. It’s a mid-size multimodal model, optimized for scaling across a wide-range of tasks, and performs at a similar level to 1.0 Ultra, our largest model to date. It also introduces a breakthrough experimental feature in long-context understanding.
Gemini 1.5 Pro comes with a standard 128,000 token context window. But starting today, a limited group of developers and enterprise customers can try it with a context window of up to 1 million tokens via AI Studio and Vertex AI in private preview.
As we roll out the full 1 million token context window, we’re actively working on optimizations to improve latency, reduce computational requirements and enhance the user experience. We’re excited for people to try this breakthrough capability, and we share more details on future availability below.
Conclusion
The continued advances in our next-generation models will open up new possibilities for people, developers and enterprises to create, discover and build using AI. With Gemini 1.5, we’re taking a major step forward in our mission to make AI more helpful and accessible to everyone.
