Gemini, a chatbot from Google, reached a significant milestone in March, which is that the monthly number of active users of this virtual product has reached 350 million.
The mentioned information was published last Wednesday, April 23, by the media with reference to the data revealed during Google’s antitrust suit. It is worth noting that in terms of the number of monthly active users, Gemini still lags behind its competitors such as ChatGPT and Meta AI.
The data cited by the media also shows that since October, the number of daily active users of Google’s chatbot has increased fourfold. In March, there were 35 million Gemini daily active users. In October, the corresponding figure was 9 million.
According to Google data, OpenAI’s ChatGPT had 600 million monthly active users in March. In September, Meta chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg stated that the number of monthly active users of the chatbot from this technology giant was about 500 million.
In the first half of the current month, it became known that Google had removed the head of Gemini. The media claim that the reason for this decision was that the chatbot continues to lag behind ChatGPT. Sissie Hsiao stepped down to be replaced by Josh Woodward, the head of Google Labs.
The media also released information according to which Google DeepMind chief executive officer Demis Hassabis told staffers in a memo that the change in leadership would sharpen the focus on the next evolution of the Gemini app.
In February, Google chief executive officer Sundar Pichai announced that the company intends to insert advertising into the Gemini multimodal model. In this case, the technology giant is undertaking an attempt to recoup the high costs of processing artificial intelligence workloads.
