TL;DR for this Update

Google has relaunched its AI tool Bard as Gemini, providing the best model as Gemini Advanced powered by Ultra 1.0 for complicated tasks as well as a mobile app for easy access on the road. Gemini Advanced is part of the Google One AI Premium Plan, which costs $19.99 a month and includes enhanced conversation capabilities and integration with Google services. Try it from here

Other Details

  • Gemini Advanced offers access to Ultra 1.0, Google's top-notch AI model, rivalling GPT-4 in performance.

  • You can get Gemini Advanced through a $19.99/month Google One AI Premium subscription, similar to ChatGPT Plus. You can try it for two months free of charge.

  • A new Gemini mobile app is now available on Android and iOS in the U.S. (for now, but rollouts to other countries soon), offering enhanced on-device assistance via typing, voice, and images.

  • On Android, the app supports various Google Assistant features, like making calls and controlling smart devices.

  • Gemini-generated images will include an invisible digital watermark using 'SynthID'.

  • Gemini has expanded to Canada, offering services in both English and French.

Kini Big Deal? (Why does it matter?)

With Gemini's launch and Ultra's prowess, Google has upped its game in the AI race, putting pressure on OpenAI to respond with a competitive release like GPT-4.5 or 5. But then, does Gemini Advanced (Ultra 1.0) perform as claimed?

The good thing is that everyone can now have access for GPT-4-level performance for free (2 months) šŸ˜†
