THE AMPHITHEATRE complex where Google holds its annual software-developers’ conference has a cheesy(廉价的,俗气的), fairground(游乐场,露天集市) feel. RVs are parked on site. Employees whiz in on(飞速冲入,迅速到达) the tech company’s multi-coloured(五彩斑斓的,多色的) bicycles. There are stands and sideshows(杂耍,余兴节目) everywhere. On stage, Sundar Pichai, its boss, tells a corny(老套的,陈腐的) joke about Google’s overworked chips, known as TPUs, doing “teraflops into bed”(带着万亿次运算上床睡觉).
谷歌举办年度软件开发者大会的AMPHITHEATRE综合体有一种廉价、游乐场般的感觉。现场停着房车。员工们骑着公司五彩斑斓的自行车飞驰而过。到处都是展台和杂耍表演。台上,老板桑达尔·皮查伊讲了一个关于谷歌过度劳累的芯片(即TPU)的冷笑话,说它们“带着万亿次运算上床睡觉”。
The event is by no means as sleek(精致的,时髦的) as Apple’s developer jamboree(大型聚会,盛会) held in June, which tries to retain some of the minimalist chic(极简主义风格) of the late Steve Jobs. But when it comes to artificial intelligence, Google long ago upstaged(抢了风头,超越) the maker of the iPhone (its models will power many of Apple’s AI features going forward). It now looks as though it may steal the consumer AI crown from OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT(①文中含义:ChatGPT是OpenAI...), as well.
这场活动绝不像苹果在6月举办的开发者盛会那样精致,后者试图保留已故史蒂夫·乔布斯的极简风格。但在人工智能方面,谷歌早就超越了这家iPhone制造商(其模型未来将为苹果的许多AI功能提供动力)。如今看来,它可能也要从ChatGPT的创造者OpenAI手中夺走消费级AI的王冠。
On May 19th Google unveiled a new line-up(阵容,系列产品) of AI agents powered by its latest Gemini 3.5 Flash model. It included AI coders to rival(与……竞争,媲美) those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic, but also agents designed to perform various tasks for regular folk(人们,普通人) going about their daily lives. Some will appear in the Gemini app, used by 900m people every month. Others will be embedded directly in Google Search, used by more than 3bn. The company is, in sum(总之,概括地说), bringing agents to the masses.
5月19日,谷歌发布了由最新Gemini 3.5 Flash模型驱动的一系列新AI代理。其中包括能与OpenAI和Anthropic相媲美的AI编码代理,还有为普通人日常生活设计的各类代理。部分代理将出现在月活用户达9亿的Gemini应用中,另一些则直接嵌入月活用户超过30亿的谷歌搜索。总之,该公司正在将AI代理带给大众。
