Google argues new Gemini AI 'thinks more carefully'
AI content generators are known to sometimes invent things, which developers call hallucinations.
Gemini was tested on its problem-solving and knowledge in 57 subject areas including maths and humanities.
Boss Sundar Pichai said it represented a "new era" for AI.
Google adopted a cautious approach to the launch of its AI chatbot, Bard, earlier this year, describing it as "an experiment".
Bard made a mistake in its own publicity demo, providing the wrong answer to a question about space.
But Google is making some big claims for its new model, describing it as its "most capable" yet and has suggested it can outperform human experts in a range of intelligence tests.
Gemini can both recognise and generate text, images and audio - but is not a product in its own right.
Instead it is what it known as a foundational model, meaning it will be integrated into Google's existing tools, including search and Bard.
