The Download: Google's Gemini is here, and Sundar Pichai talks AI

Hype about Gemini, Google DeepMind's long-rumored response to OpenAI's GPT-4, has been building for months. Now, the company has finally revealed what it has been working on in secret all this time. Gemini is Google's biggest AI launch yet--its push to take on competitors OpenAI and Microsoft in the race for AI supremacy. There is no doubt that the model is pitched as best-in-class across a wide range of capabilities--an "everything machine." Judging from its demos, it does many things very well--but few things that we haven't seen before.
