After coming to Bard and the Pixel 8 Pro last week, Gemini, Google’s recently announced flagship gen AI model family, is launching for Google Cloud customers using Vertex AI.
Gemini Pro, a lightweight version of a more capable Gemini model, Gemini Ultra, currently in private preview for a “select set” of customers, is now accessible in public preview in Vertex AI, Google’s fully managed AI dev platform, via the new Gemini Pro API.
Citation checking — another existing Vertex AI capability, now with support for Gemini Pro — serves as an additional fact-checking measure by highlighting the sources of information Gemini Pro used to arrive at a response.
Input for Gemini Pro on Vertex AI will cost $0.00025 per character while output will cost $0.00005 per character.
And for a limited time — until early next year — Gemini Pro is free to try for Vertex AI customers.
With two large-scale elections in the U.S. in India next year, Threads aims to introduce a fact-checking checking program to the social network.
Instagram head Adam Mosseri said that the social platform currently matches ratings from Facebook or Instagram to similar content.
Separately, Meta shared in a blog post that soon U.S-based Threads users will be able to increase, decrease, or maintain the same level of demotion on fact-checked posts.
Meta and Threads haven’t been keen on bolstering news on the platform.
And while Threads has stayed away from news until now, with fact-checking programs it will have to get involved.
