These generative AI capabilities are powered by Gemini , Google’s latest and most capable large language model, which also powers its AI chatbot and other services .

“In the AI era, Stack Overflow has maintained that the foundation of trusted and accurate data will be central to how technology solutions are built, with millions of the world’s developers coming to our platform as one of the few high-quality sources of information with community attribution at its core,” said Prashanth Chandrasekar, CEO of Stack Overflow.

Merging Gemini for Google Cloud with Stack Overflow’s extensive knowledge base will hopefully enhance developer productivity and accuracy. Developers will be able to easily ask questions about code and get answers backed by Stack Overflow’s data without leaving the Google Cloud environment.
