The Indian IT Ministry (MeitY) has issued a new advisory for tech companies offering AI models and services in India. The advisory asks tech firms to get approval before deploying "untested" AI models in India. The government later clarified that the advisory applies to large companies like Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, etc., and not startups. The advisory also requests companies to embed permanent metadata in generated data to easily identify the first originator.
You can sign up for the Gemini 1.5 Pro waitlist via Google AI Studio and get early access to the flagship model with a context window of 1 million tokens. The model is currently in preview, so Google is offering access for free to test and evaluate the model. That said, there is no API available for Gemini 1.5 Pro yet, just like Gemini 1.0 Ultra.
In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk has sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman in the San Francisco Superior Court on Thursday.

We got our hands on the Gemini 1.5 Pro model via Google AI Studio, and after probing the model on a multitude of tests, we can say that Google has finally delivered an immensely powerful AI model. It's easily on par with GPT-4 model by OpenAI and surpasses Google's largest Gemini 1.0 Ultra model. It's excellent at advanced reasoning, can process videos, handles large corpus of data in a single window, and you can do so much more. Read our detailed comparison between Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.0 Ultra, and GPT-4.
What the Gemini Image Generation Fiasco Tells Us About Google’s Approach to AI
Arjun Sha
View quick summary
After Gemini generated some inaccurate and offensive images, Google has been accused of anti-white bias by critics from many quarters. In response, Google has temporarily turned off image generation of people in Gemini. Moreover, many accuse Google of aggressively tuning the model to represent diversity which seems to have backfired. So what explains this debacle and Google's overall approach to AI? Read on to find out.
Microsoft introduced Windows Copilot with much pomp and hype, but is it really an intelligent AI assistant to help you with everyday Windows tasks? Turns out, it's just another AI chatbot like Edge Copilot with few system integrations. Microsoft decided to replace Cortana with Windows Copilot, but there is close to zero feature parity and feels like a downgrade. Windows Copilot should embrace vision models to perform system actions locally like composing emails, interacting with various files, setting alarms, tweaking system settings, and more.

Groq is a company formed by ex-Google TPU engineers who have developed an LPU (Language Processing Unit) that can generate outputs at a blistering speed. It can generate over 500 tokens per second while using a 7B model and close to 250 tokens per second while using a 70B model. ChatGPT and Gemini generate responses at a speed of 50 to 60 tokens per second. The Groq LPUs are said to be highly performant with much less latency and minimum energy consumption. With the introduction of LPUs, expect instant interaction with AI models soon.
The Samsung Galaxy S24 series brings with it a cool AI feature called AI Generative Wallpapers. Using this feature, you can generate as many AI images as you want and set them as your lock screen and home screen wallpaper.

Touted to be the most capable model by the Google DeepMind team, the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model has been finally released. Gemini Advanced is powered by the Ultra model so we compared it with OpenAI's GPT-4 model. In our tests, we found that Gemini Advanced still lacks rigorous commonsense reasoning capability, hence, it's nowhere close to GPT-4. However, in creating writing, it does a better job than GPT-4. In coding tasks, it's indeed an improvement, but with tools like Code Interpreter in GPT-4, you are likely to get better results in ChatGPT.
How to Replace Google Assistant with Gemini AI on Your Android Phone

Google has officially started to roll out its Gemini Android app. However, it is currently limited to US users, and if you are not from the US, you will need to make a US Google account. Once you make it, you will be able to find the app listed on Play Store. Now, to set the Gemini AI as your primary voice assistant, open the Gemini app -> tap on Get started -> select I agree. That should automatically set it as your voice assistant. However, if you want to switch between Gemini and Google Assistant, open the Gemini app -> tap on profile icon -> Settings -> Digital assistants from Google -> select the desired assistant.
Google has launched a subscription plan called Gemini Advanced that is powered by the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model. Unlike the free Gemini (formerly Bard), Gemini Advanced is much better at highly complex tasks and performs close to OpenAI's GPT-4 model. It costs $20 per month, but you get two months of free trial. Gemini Advanced also bundles 2TB of storage, and Google One benefits. And soon, Gemini Advanced users will be able to access Gemini AI in apps like Gmail, Docs, and more.
Google has finally added image generation into Bard and you can create images for free. Simply start your prompt with "create an image of" or "generate an image of" and Bard will generate two images at once. Google is using its in-house Imagen 2 AI model with ImageFX tool for added guardrails to power Bard image generation. Right now, it only supports prompts in English and some countries such as the UK, Switzerland, and EEA regions can't access the feature right away.

We take a look at Microsoft's claim of Edge being an AI Browser. The tech giant is quite aggressive about the AI Browser tagline, but does it pass the smell test? We have gone through the AI features Edge offers and its chatbot, Copilot's capability to deliver a truly great AI experience. We have also compared Edge with other browsers to understand the difference between an AI browser and a non-AI browser.
Recently, Google released the API key for its Gemini Pro model. Currently, the company is offering text-only and text-and-vision models based on the Gemini Pro model. The best part is that Google is allowing users to test the API for free and without setting up Google Cloud billing, at least for now. To teach you how to set up the Gemini AI API key and use it, we have included three coding examples to showcase the API usage. You can test Gemini Pro's multimodal capability as well through the API, which is not yet available in Bard.
There are several AI image upscalers available online, but we have selected the eight best tools that can boost the image resolution from 1x to up to 16x free of cost. Not just upscaling, these tools also fill in missing pixels and fixes blurry images with just one click. We have included tools from Stability AI, Topaz Labs, Upscale Media, etc., to offer a wide range of services.
Google has finally released a true multimodal AI model called Gemini. While multimodal features are not live yet, you can use Bard to check out the Gemini Pro model. Pixel users can also experience on-device AI with the Gemini Nano update. The most powerful Gemini Ultra model is quite impressive and beats the GPT-4 model on several benchmark tests. In multimodal tests too, Gemini Ultra dethrones GPT-4V model. However, the Ultra model has not been launched yet and is due to go live early next year.
Within a year, ChatGPT has become a full-fledged AI chatbot with knowledge cut-off of up to April 2023. It supports a multitude of features including image analysis, GPTs, voice chat, web browsing, code interpreter, plugins, custom instructions, data analysis, and more. ChatGPT also has apps for both Android and iOS. It's going to get access to the latest GPT-4 Turbo model as well.
The ChatGPT app has a voice chat feature now which is aimed at making conversations natural and meaningful. It's free to use and you can install the ChatGPT app on either Android or iOS to access the new feature. You can also customize the voice to your liking which is awesome. The only con is that it's somewhat slow to respond.
We recap the events of Sam Altman's ousting from OpenAI and his return to the company within a week. Chaos ensued when OpenAI revealed on November 18 that Sam Altman has been fired. This was followed by Greg Brockman quitting OpenAI. Then, we learned former Twitch CEO Emmet Shear was hired as the interim OpenAI CEO and Sam Altman was moving to Microsoft to set up a new AI research division. Now, on November 22, Altman has been reinstated as the OpenAI CEO with a new board.
Extensions on Gemini allow you to connect to many Google services. In your conversations, you can chat with Gemini and pull data from YouTube, Google Flights, Gmail, Drive, Docs, and more. Keep in mind, your personal data from Gmail, Drive and Docs is not used for training Gemini. You can even use the YouTube extension to chat and summarize YouTube videos.
