Google delays next Gemini version by two months amid compute constraints
Google’s large-model development has been slowed by computing constraints and internal disagreements, according to the report. Google co-founder Sergey Brin has urged core AI employees to devote themselves fully to developing the Gemini large language model. Brin has repeatedly emphasized to the company’s AI staff that they must catch up with the industry’s leading edge. People familiar with the matter said Brin is pushing resources toward recursive self-improvement, or RSI. The technology is intended to enable AI systems to iteratively upgrade themselves without human intervention. Internal tests showed that the new version of Gemini continued to lag competitors in areas including coding. The report said Google has delayed the launch of the new version of its flagship large model by two months, until August.
