Just last week, Google unveiled its new AI chatbot lineup, featuring Gemini Advanced—its best bot, based on its most powerful large language model, Gemini 1.0 Ultra. But Gemini 1.0 Ultra’s reign as the company’s flagship LLM could turn out to be brief.
Today the company is announcing Gemini 1.5 Pro, an update to its middle-tier LLM. It says the improvements result in an LLM in the same zip code, power-wise, as Gemini 1.0 Ultra. And in a briefing for reporters on
