Google launches Gemini in Gmail

Google has launched AI Overview in Gmail, a new feature that helps you understand your inbox without reading every email. It is powered by Google’s Gemini AI and is rolling out first to users in the United States.

Key Points: 

• Gmail can now scan your emails and give you a short summary of what matters. You can ask questions like “What was the meeting time?” or “Who sent the invoice?” and get a clear answer.

• Instead of typing keywords and opening many emails, you can search in plain English. Gmail uses AI to find the right messages and explain them in one response.

• The AI does not send emails on its own. It only helps you read, understand, and find information faster inside your inbox.

• The feature uses Google’s Gemini AI, the same system behind other smart tools in Gmail, such as writing suggestions and quick replies.

• AI features can be turned off in Gmail settings. Google says email data used for summaries is not used to train public AI models.

AI COMPETITION

DeepSeek will release a coding model that beats Claude and ChatGPT.

DeepSeek plans to release a new AI coding model that it claims will beat Claude and ChatGPT at programming tasks, especially long, complex ones.

Details:

• DeepSeek says the new model is built mainly for coding and software work, not general chat.

• Early internal tests from DeepSeek suggest the model performs better on coding tasks than Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

• The focus is on handling long instructions, large code files, and full projects without losing track of context.

• The model is expected to launch soon, with reports pointing to the coming weeks.

• These claims are based on DeepSeek’s own testing, not independent benchmarks yet.
