How is Google's 'Gemini' different from other AI models? Check out its key features
PTC News Desk: Google has launched its AI model Gemini in its most ambitious effort to compete in the rapidly growing field of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Gemini has been introduced as the company's 'largest and most capable AI model'.
According to the report, Gemini will be competing with OpenAI's GPT models and supercharge everything from Google's consumer apps to Android smartphones, and the model is expected to be used in every setting, from large corporations to consumer devices such as the Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Unlike existing AI models, which typically deal with only one type of user prompt, such as images or text, Gemini was designed to be "multimodal," according to Google. This means that it accepts multiple types of media as inputs, including text, images, audio, video, and programming code.
"This new era of models represents one of the biggest science and engineering efforts we've undertaken as a company," said Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
According to the company, Google's Gemini model outperformed rival AI models in testing across more than two dozen benchmarks commonly used by AI researchers to evaluate an algorithm's reading comprehension, mathematical ability, and multistep reasoning skills.
"We do see it setting new kinds of frontiers across the board," Eli Collins, vice president of product at Google DeepMind, says.
Google announced on Wednesday that the most advanced version of the model, Gemini Ultra, will be released gradually to "select customers, developers, partners, and safety and responsibility experts for early experimentation and feedback before rolling it out to developers and enterprise customers early next year."
According to CNN, the Gemini Ultra is currently undergoing third-party safety evaluations, also known as red-teaming, by a commitment made earlier this summer to the Biden administration.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai also announced the launch of Gemini on X, writing, "Introducing Gemini 1.0, our most capable and general AI model yet. Built natively to be multimodal, it's the first step in our Gemini-era of models. Gemini is optimized in three sizes - Ultra, Pro, and Nano."
"Gemini Ultra's performance exceeds current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks. With a score of 90.0%, Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU."
