Summary
Google has announced the availability of Gemini on Google Distributed Cloud (GDC), an offering that lets companies integrate its AI models directly into their own data centres, following an initial on-premises launch in April. According to Google, the solution aims to address obstacles to enterprise AI deployment, such as managing poorly trained staff and cleaning data. The new use cases mentioned include internal translation, customer support via chatbots, accelerated software development and enhanced security measures. Google names the CSIT of Singapore, GovTech Singapore, the HTX agency, KDDI and Liquid C2 as its first customers. The offering relies on Nvidia and Intel hardware and, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, forms part of the "sovereign AI" trend.
