Google’s new artificial intelligence model, Gemini, is out. It’s advertised as America’s next top A.I. model. Kevin Roose and Casey Newton ask, Is it really better than OpenAI’s GPT-4? Also, by some estimates, millions of people have preordered Tesla’s Cybertruck, but has Elon Musk’s recent behavior soured people on the brand? And finally, more A.I. news you may have missed.
