Release of Gemini

6 February 2023

Gemini is a family of artificial intelligence models and the chatbot of the same name developed by Google. The chatbot was first announced as Bard in early 2023, as Google's answer to OpenAI's ChatGPT, and it was initially based on the LaMDA language model. In late 2023, Google DeepMind introduced the Gemini models, which were designed to handle text, images, audio and video, and the chatbot was renamed Gemini in early 2024. It is integrated into Google's search, email and phone products, and exists in versions of different sizes. Its image generation was temporarily suspended in 2024 after it produced historically inaccurate pictures, a controversy that drew wide attention.
