Google’s strength in AI has often seemed to get lost in the midst of OpenAI announcements or DeepSeek fervor - yet Gemini 2.0 is more than good for many tasks; it’s the model to beat - and we have the research to back it up.
This week, Logan Kilpatrick, senior product manager at Google DeepMind, joins us to discuss Gemini’s creation story, its emergence as the premiere model in the AI race, and why the launch of Gemini 2.0 is great news for developers.
During the conversation Conor and Logan explore the exciting world of multimodal AI, Gemini's strengths in agentic use cases, and its unique approach to function calling, compositional function calling, and the seamless integration of tools like search and code execution.
They also chat about Logan’s vision for a future where AI interacts with the world more naturally, offering a view of the potential of vision-first AI agents, and why Google's hardware advantage is enabling Gemini's impressive performance and long context capabilities.
