Google Gemini

In News
  • Google Gemini, a new multimodal general AI model that the tech giant calls its most powerful yet, is now available to users across the world through Bard, some developer platforms and even the new Google Pixel 8 Pro devices.
Google Gemini
  • Gemini brings us closer to the vision of “AI that feels less like a smart piece of software and more like something useful and intuitive — an expert helper or assistant”.
  • Gemini has been built from scratch as a collaborative effort by teams across Google.
  • It is also multimodal, which means it is not limited to the type of information it can process and can work understand and operate across text, code, audio, image and video.
  • In contrast, ChatGPT cannot work on video at the moment, at least not natively.
  • Google claims Gemini Ultra’s performance “exceeds current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks” used in large language model (LLM) research and development.
  • Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on massive multitask language understanding (MMLU), which uses a combination of 57 subjects such as math, physics, history, law, medicine and ethics for testing both world knowledge and problem-solving abilities
  • Gemini can “understand, explain and generate high-quality code in the world’s most popular programming languages, like Python, Java, C++ and Go”, the company claims.
Types of Gemini
  • Gemini will be available in different sizes to scale it as per the need.
  • Gemini Ultra, the largest and most capable model, will be meant for highly complex tasks.
  • Since this model is still completing trust and safety checks, it is available now only to select customers, developers, partners and safety and responsibility experts for early experimentation and feedback.
  • It will be rolled out to developers and enterprise customers early next year.
  • Gemini Pro will be best at scaling across a wide range of tasks and is now available in Bard for regular users across the world.
  • On Bard, it has a “specifically tuned version of Gemini Pro in English for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more”. Developers and enterprise customers will be able to access Gemini Pro via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI
  • Gemini Nano will manage on-device tasks and is already available on Pixel 8 Pro, powering new features like Summarise in the Recorder app and Smart Reply via Gboard, starting with WhatsApp.
Gemini v/s Chat GPT4
  • The google claims it has “most comprehensive safety evaluations of any Google AI model to date, including for bias and toxicity” and has conducted research into potential risk areas like cyber-offense, persuasion, and autonomy.
  • Gemini seems to be more flexible that GPT4 at the moment.
  • Also it ability to work with video and on devices without Internet give it an edge.
  • Another factor is that Gemini is now free to use while ChatGPT4 is only for paid users.
