This integration aims to enhance Gemini&#8217;s understanding of the physical world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hassabis, &#8220;We&#8217;ve always built Gemini, our foundation model, to be multimodal from the beginning,&#8221; and this approach is driven by the vision of creating a &#8220;universal digital assistant&#8221; that can provide assistance in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>## The Evolution of AI Models<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI industry is progressively moving towards the development of &#8220;omni&#8221; models, which are capable of understanding and synthesizing various forms of media. Google&#8217;s latest Gemini models have the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/12\/11\/gemini-2-0-googles-newest-flagship-ai-can-generate-text-images-and-speech\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">generate audio<\/a>, images, and text. Similarly, OpenAI&#8217;s default model in ChatGPT can natively create images, including <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2025\/03\/26\/openais-viral-studio-ghibli-moment-highlights-ai-copyright-concerns\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Studio Ghibli-style art<\/a>. Moreover, Amazon has <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/12\/03\/amazon-announces-nova-a-new-family-of-multimodal-ai-models\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced plans<\/a> to launch an &#8220;any-to-any&#8221; model later this year.<\/p>\n<p>## Training Data for Omni Models<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development of omni models requires a vast amount of training data, including images, videos, audio, text, and more. Hassabis suggested that the video data for Veo is primarily sourced from YouTube, a platform owned by Google.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hassabis explained, &#8220;By watching YouTube videos, [Veo 2] can figure out the physics of the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Previously, Google informed TechCrunch that its models &#8220;may be&#8221; trained on &#8220;some&#8221; YouTube content, in accordance with its agreement with YouTube creators.
