Just last week, Google unveiled its new AI chatbot lineup, featuring Gemini Advanced—its best bot, based on its most powerful large language model, Gemini 1.0 Ultra. But Gemini 1.0 Ultra’s reign as the company’s flagship LLM could turn out to be brief.Today the company is announcing Gemini 1.5 Pro, an update to its middle-tier LLM. It says the improvements result in an LLM in the same zip code, power-wise, as Gemini 1.0 Ultra. And in a briefing for reporters on Wednesday, Google DeepMind principal scientist Oriol Vinyals…

Thankfully, Samsung seems to be at least somewhat aware of its shortcomings in this area. And at least as far as the recent June “mega update” goes, the company has just made up for the lack of detailed information by publishing a richer…

The rhythm guitarist and vocalist, who has four children ages 11 to 28, posted a statement Sunday on several social media platforms under the title “My Thoughts on What I’m Seeing.” “There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance,” Stanley wrote,…
