Google DeepMind on Saturday introduced Gemini Ultra-4, a model the company describes as its first system capable of dependable multi-step autonomy in commercial workflows. The launch took place at an invitation-only event for two hundred enterprise customers.
In a closed demonstration, the model completed a forty-seven-step procurement workflow without human intervention, identifying suppliers, drafting contracts, negotiating terms and producing a final report. The same task, executives said, took its predecessor more than four hundred steps and required human correction at sixty-eight points.
"For the first time, the agent is the deliverable," said Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google DeepMind. Anthropic and OpenAI are expected to respond within weeks.
