Google’s next-generation Gemini 2.0 AI model is rumored to launch in December

• Gemini 2.0 could be released in December
• Expect general performance improvements
• ChatGPT-5 may be launched at the same time

It was only a few days ago that we heard rumors that OpenAI would launch a next-generation ChatGPT-5 model – rumors that were dismissed as “fake news” by OpenAI chief Sam Altman – and now we hear that Google Gemini 2.0 could be made public in the next few months.

Like the ChatGPT rumor, this comes from The Verge (via 9to5Google). The last major Gemini upgrade came in February, when Gemini 1.5 was released. Google uses the name Gemini for both its AI bots and the underlying models.
