Gemini is Google’s largest and most capable AI model yet. It’s multimodal, making it as human as it gets. Gemini can seamlessly understand commands, tonality, and context of the inputs. It can also operate across data inputs such as text, code, audio, image, and video. Google’s Gemini is flexible, allowing people to use it across devices. Google’s goal with Gemini is to enhance how developers and enterprise customers build and scale with AI.
Gemini has three versions — Gemini Ultra (for highly complex tasks), Gemini Pro (for a wide range of tasks), and Gemini Nano (for on-device tasks). Google will use Gemini to enhance the functionality of Bard (Google’s Gen AI chatbot) and Pixel (Google’s smartphone). Gemini’s launch is a pivotal moment in the AI-based innovation race globally. It’s also Google’s answer to OpenAI’s GPT.
Outperforming human experts
Gemini Ultra is the first AI model to outperform human experts on MMLU (massive multitask language understanding) with a score of 90%. The General capability uses a combination of 57 subjects like math, physics, history, law, medicine, and ethics to test for world knowledge and problem-solving abilities. Gemini scores exceptionally well on most of the text, coding, and multimodal benchmarks used in large language model (LLM) research and development.
Stepping up the possibilities
Gemini’s multimodal reasoning capabilities make it exceptionally good at processing complex written and visual data at unprecedented speeds. Reportedly, Gemini has 5x the computational power of GPT-4. The strength has been attributed to Cloud TPU v5p, Google’s most powerful, efficient, and scalable Tensor Processing Units system. The cutting-edge TPU will accelerate Gemini’s development, enabling developers and enterprise customers to train large-scale generative AI models faster, allowing new products and capabilities to reach customers sooner.
Making everyday life easier
Google is using Gemini Nano to engineer the Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. Users can see Gemini in action while making the most of features like ‘Summarize in Recorder’ and ‘Smart Reply in Gboard’. Google plans to expand Gemini’s scope to make the Search Generative Experience (SGE) faster.
Gemini Ultra will be used to create a new Bard Advanced experience. Google will also use Gemini to power up products like Ads, Chrome, and Duet AI. Given the sheer scope and extensive range of Google’s products, Gemini will be a part of the everyday life of internet users in a way that no competitor can’t match.
While Google’s Gemini will be tested for effectiveness in due time, its impact is already visible. Google has taken the possibilities of AI to the next level.
