Google's Gemini AI assistant reaches one billion users
Google's artificial intelligence assistant Gemini has surpassed one billion monthly users, CEO Sundar Pichai has announced, a week after a major reorganization of the tech giant's AI division.
"It's our fastest growing product ever," and the 14th product to reach a billion users, Pichai posted on social media on Aug. 11.
The milestone, which Google calculated based on how many people use the Gemini app across its ecosystem, gives the search giant a victory amid a major overhaul of its AI division.
Its new flagship model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, initially promised for June, still has not been released, while its rivals have launched several models that are considered more powerful, particularly for generating computer code, currently the most lucrative area in the sector.
