Google upgrades Gemini With 2.0 Flash and Imagen 3

Key Points 

• Google is rolling out Gemini 2.0 Flash, offering faster responses and better performance for tasks like writing, learning, and brainstorming.

• Gemini’s image generation now runs on Imagen 3, improving details, textures, and accuracy in following user instructions.

👨‍💻News - Google announced Thursday that its Gemini app is getting an upgrade with the Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model. The company says the new model provides faster responses and stronger performance on key benchmarks, making it more effective for tasks like brainstorming, learning, and writing.  

The update is rolling out across Gemini’s web and mobile apps, and all users will have access to it. However, Google noted that users can continue using Gemini 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro “for the next few weeks.”  

✨What’s more? Google also revealed that Gemini’s image generation now runs on the latest version of its Imagen 3 AI model. This upgrade is expected to improve the quality of generated images with richer details, more accurate textures, and better adherence to user instructions.

Intel scraps Falcon Shores, shifts focus to Jaguar Shores for AI data centers

Key Points 

• Intel won’t release Falcon Shores GPU commercially, redirecting resources to Jaguar Shores for a broader AI data center solution.

• Jaguar Shores will offer a full-scale rack solution, focusing on system-level development beyond just delivering silicon.

☕News – Intel has announced it will no longer bring its next-generation GPU, Falcon Shores, to market, marking a significant shift in its strategy for high-performance computing and AI workloads. 

This decision comes as the company grapples with disappointing product launches and historic losses, while rivals like AMD and Nvidia continue to gain momentum.

🧐What's next for the chipmaker? During Intel's fourth-quarter earnings call, co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus revealed that Falcon Shores will now serve as an internal test chip, rather than a commercial product. 

Holthaus acknowledged that Intel has yet to make a meaningful impact in the cloud-based AI data center market, which remains a priority. To address this gap, Intel will shift its focus to Jaguar Shores, a new initiative aimed at developing a system-level solution at rack scale to cater to the AI data center market more broadly. 

Holthaus emphasized that the company’s lessons from previous AI chips, like Gaudi 3, highlighted the need for a comprehensive solution—one that goes beyond just delivering the silicon and includes networking, memory, and other components. With Jaguar Shores, Intel aims to provide that full-scale rack solution that customers have been seeking.
