Google just delayed the rollout of its multimodal ChatGPT competitor Gemini until January — after identifying deficiencies in handling non-English languages.
The details:
Google teased the new model at its I/O conference in May, with the launch initially planned for December.
With rumors of massive training data including YouTube transcripts, Gemini has reportedly reached capabilities of GPT-4 in some areas.
Struggles with non-English languages were a primary cause for delay.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has hinted that Gemini will be the first in a series of next-gen models planned for launch in 2024.
