Google is gearing up for an even bigger AI push in 2025, with the spotlight fixed firmly on its Gemini LLM. At a recent internal strategy meeting — complete with festive holiday sweaters — CEO Sundar Pichai and other top Google leaders left no doubt that Gemini will be the star of the show heading into the new year, following a 2024 already dominated by Gemini-related announcements.

During the December gathering at Google’s Mountain View headquarters, Pichai told staff that “the stakes are high” as the company navigates increasing competition, especially in AI. Gemini is slated to continue its rapid expansion into 2025, with the ultimate goal of becoming the 16th Google product to reach 500 million monthly users.
