These events, which were not publicized, were set to mark Google's most significant product launch of the year. The delay comes after Google expended significant computing resources and merged large teams in a bid to compete with OpenAI.
Key takeaways:
- Google has delayed the public debut of Gemini, a conversational artificial intelligence, to January.
- The decision was made after the company found that the AI didn't reliably handle some non-English queries.
- Google CEO Sundar Pichai decided to cancel a series of Gemini events that were scheduled for next week in California, New York, and Washington.
- The planned events would have marked Google's most important product launch of the year, as it has strained its computing resources and merged large teams in pursuit of OpenAI.
