Google's latest AI breakthrough, Gemini, is here to rival OpenAI's GPT-4. Touted to surpass GPT-4 in 30 of 32 academic benchmarks, Gemini is a multimodal AI capable of processing text, images, code, and audio.
Gemini in Google Bard
Currently, Gemini is powering Google Bard, which is available in 170 countries. This AI comes in three sizes: Ultra for complex tasks, Pro for diverse tasks, and Nano for consumer devices like the Pixel 8 Pro. However, only Gemini Pro is available for public use through Google Bard.
Performance and Integration
While Google claims Gemini's superiority in efficiency and coding, especially with its AlphaCode 2 version, its edge over GPT-4 is subject to debate. The real-world effectiveness of Gemini in practical tasks remains to be seen.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Google plans to integrate Gemini into its various products, including Search, Ads, Chrome, and the Pixel 8 Pro. Starting December 13, developers will have access to Gemini Pro via Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI. This launch marks a significant milestone in Google's journey in the competitive AI market.
