Google's Gemini AI: Everything You Need to Know About Google's New Multimodal Model

Google recently unveiled Gemini, its most powerful artificial intelligence model yet. Gemini is a multimodal AI that understands and generates text, images, video and audio. It is designed to complete complex tasks across domains.

Gemini comes in three sizes - Nano, Pro and Ultra - for different use cases from mobile devices to enterprise applications. Gemini is already integrated into some Google products like the Pixel 8 phone and the Bard chatbot. It will be integrated into more Google services over time.

Gemini appears more advanced than other AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4. Gemini can natively perform multimodal tasks whereas GPT-4 relies on plugins. Gemini is also more product-focused, powering Google's own services and devices.

What Exactly is Google Gemini?
Gemini is Google's new artificial intelligence model that comprehends not just text but also images, videos and audio. As a multimodal model, Gemini is capable of completing complex tasks in math, physics and other areas as well as understanding and generating high-quality code in various programming languages.

It is currently available through integrations with Google Bard and the Google Pixel 8 and will gradually be folded into other Google services.

Who Created Gemini?
Gemini was created by Google and Alphabet, Google's parent company. Google DeepMind also made significant contributions to the development of Gemini.

Are There Different Versions of Gemini?
To achieve scalability, Gemini is being released in three sizes: Gemini Nano, Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra.

Gemini Nano: Designed to run on smartphones like the Google Pixel 8. It's built to perform on-device tasks that require efficient AI processing without connecting to external servers.

Gemini Pro: Running on Google's data centers, Gemini Pro powers the latest version of the company’s AI chatbot Bard. It's capable of delivering fast response times and understanding complex queries.

Gemini Ultra: Though still unavailable for widespread use, Google describes Gemini Ultra as its most capable model exceeding current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks used in large language model (LLM) research and development. It's designed for highly complex tasks and is set to be released after finishing its current phase of testing.

How Can You Access Gemini?
Gemini is now available on Google products in its Nano and Pro sizes like the Pixel 8 phone and Bard chatbot respectively. Google plans to integrate Gemini over time into its Search, Ads, Chrome and other services.

Developers and enterprise customers will be able to access Gemini Pro via the Gemini API in Google's AI Studio and Google Cloud Vertex AI starting on December 13. Android developers will have access to Gemini Nano via AICore which will be available on an early preview basis.

How Does Gemini Differ From Other AI Models Like GPT-4?
Google’s new Gemini model appears to be one of the largest, most advanced AI models to date. Compared to other popular models that power AI chatbots right now, Gemini stands out due to its native multimodal characteristic whereas other models like GPT-4 rely on plugins and integrations to be truly multimodal.

Gemini also appears to be more product-focused than other models available now. It's either integrated into Google's ecosystem or with plans to be as it's powering both Bard and Pixel 8 devices. Other models like GPT-4 and Meta's Llama are more service-oriented and available for various third-party developers for applications, tools and services.
