Gemini in a Giffy

Google has unveiled Gemini, its newest and most powerful AI model to date. Developed by Google and DeepMind, Gemini demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across over 30 benchmarks, exceeding previous models and even human experts on tests of reasoning ability.

Gemini comes in three sizes optimized for different uses:

  1. Gemini Ultra: Largest and most capable for complex tasks

  2. Gemini Pro: Best balance of capability and scalability

  3. Gemini Nano: Most efficient for on-device usage

As Google's first natively multimodal model, Gemini can understand and reason across text, images, audio, video, and code. This allows more nuanced understanding and better performance on conceptual tasks than stitching together separate models.

Today, you can have access to Gemini Pro, which is rolling out across Google products like Search, Bard, Pixel, and Cloud Vertex AI. Gemini Nano powers new Pixel features. Gemini Ultra is still undergoing testing before a wider release. Overall this marks a major milestone for Google AI and opens new possibilities across industries.

What’s a Multimodal Model?

Google’s Gemini Multimodal Model

Think of ChatGPT as a comparison, ChatGPT is trained on a single model - Text, then along the line ChatGPT-4 Vision came along, which is also trained on images (you see where this is going).

Let’s get practical, Imagine learning two languages at once:

ChatGPT: You learn language A (text) first, then language B (images) separately. You can understand A and B individually, but connecting them is tricky. You might struggle to describe a beautiful picture or turn a song into a story.

Gemini: You learn languages A and B together, side by side. It's like growing up hearing English and French spoken every day – you intuitively understand how they relate. This means Gemini can: "Speak" all the languages of data: Text, images, audio, code – it understands them all fluently.

Connect the dots naturally: It sees the relationship between a poem and a painting, or between a code snippet and a video demo. Think more holistically: It doesn't just process each data type separately, it considers them all together for a richer understanding. Read more.

How is this an edge over ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is like a translator: It can handle two languages, but the translation can be clunky and miss nuances.

Gemini is like a bilingual native: It speaks both languages seamlessly, understanding their deeper connections and using them creatively.

Kini Big Deal? (Why does it matter?)

So in clear terms, Gemini 1.0 signifies a significant leap in AI capabilities, promising groundbreaking applications across diverse fields. More natural and intuitive interaction: Imagine an AI that can understand your scribbled notes, the pictures you share, and even the tone of your voice to truly anticipate your needs.

However, amidst the excitement, it's essential to approach benchmark claims with caution, as real-world performance validation awaits public scrutiny.
