The Gemini Era of Google: A Step Towards New AI-Inspired Experiment and the Way Google is Exploring the Internet

For the last couple of years, Google has talked about its Pixel phones as essentially AI devices. They are supposed to get better and smarter over time with the help of the Tensor chips. It could eventually become true for a lot of high-end devices. It is a good reason for people to buy the Pixel 8 Pro.

From today, the first version of Gemini will be accessible via Bard. Next year, the most powerful model of the model will be released, and it will do better than GPT-4 on several benchmark tests, say the company. Videos released by Google show Gemini solving tasks that involve complex reasoning, and also examples of the model combining information from text images, audio, and video.

Bard is now running Gemini Pro, the middle tier of the Gemini series. Ultra is the most powerful, fastest, and smallest, but the most capable, with Pro in the middle. It’s meant to be the Goldilocks version of the model, really: fast and efficient while still as capable as possible.

It’s the beginning of a new era of AI at Google, says CEO Sundar Pichai: the Gemini era. Gemini is Google’s latest large language model, which Pichai first teased at the I/O developer conference in June and is now launching to the public. It is a huge leap forward in the way in which an artificial intelligence model is used by the company. The CEO says one of the best things about this moment is that you can make one underlying technology better and it will work across our products.

At the end of the past decade, it was seen as the leader of the field of artificial intelligence in large tech companies. CEO Sundar Pichai had declared his strategy for the company as being “AI first,” and Google had successfully added AI to many of its products, from search to smartphones.

It is clear from conversations with Pichai and Hassabis that they see the launch of the Gemini as a step change in the larger project. The one model in which we have been waiting for for years, the one it has been building toward for years, maybe even the one it should have had ready before OpenAI and CHATG RIT took over the world.

Hassabis has always talked about big leaps in artificial intelligence. Most notably, he became famous in 2016 after a bot called AlphaGo taught itself to play the complex and subtle board game Go with superhuman skill and ingenuity.

Most models have an approximate multimodality due to the fact that they are training individual modules and stitching them together, says Hassabis. “That’s OK for some tasks, but you can’t have this sort of deep complex reasoning in multimodal space.”

In September, Openai launched an upgrade to its chat facility that allowed it to take images and audio as input. OpenAI has not disclosed technical details about how GPT-4 does this or the technical basis of its multimodal capabilities.

Gemini is also only available in English, though Google plans to roll out support for other languages soon. As with previous generative AI updates from Google, Gemini is also not available in the European Union—for now.

Is it possible that you already have a Google account? You can use it as easy as visiting the website, logging in and using a browser. If you are not willing to make an account, Bard won’t be available to you. It’s possible that users of thegoogle workspace accounts have to switch over to their personal email account.

So how is the anticipated Gemini Ultra different from the currently available Gemini Pro model? Ultra is the most capable mode and is designed to deal with a wide range of tasks including audio, video and code. The smaller version of the AI model, that’s fitted to work as part of smartphone features, is called Gemini Nano, and it’s available now in the Pixel 8 Pro for WhatsApp replies.
