Google CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledged at the company's year-end strategy meeting that the AI models powering Google Gemini are behind OpenAI and ChatGPT but promised a real push in 2025 to get Gemini to outpace its rivals, as reported by CNBC.
Pichai’s directive comes off as more serious than the usual corporate rah-rah; it’s a declaration that Google won't lose any more ground in a race it once led. Google's nearly bottomless coffers and enormous infrastructure give it a good chance of coming out on top in 12 months, but only because the company is no longer resting on the laurels it's been polishing since the early 2000s.
