So there’s been a lot enthusiasm and scepticism ? around AI chatbots, their ingenuity and how AI is crammed into everything.
And now comes the Gemini advanced ! What is it ? How does it come to your help ? And how does it catch up with this Gen AI ?
So Far So Good
Gemini AI (formerly Bard) built with state of the art LLM, has went all the way from gripping novels to intricate lines of code. Picture it as a literary acrobat, effortlessly mastering from a vast realm of text and snippets. It can whip up enticing stories, break language barriers with seamless translations, conjure creative content across genres, and enlighten you with insightful answers. It’s not just an AI; it’s the secret sauce behind the curtain of linguistic brilliance.
Gemini, the brainchild of Google’s genius collaboration between DeepMind and Google Research. It’s the long promised next gen AI solely integrating multimodal spectrum. In other words it’s realm of operation is well beyond just ‘words’.
WHAT CAN GEMINI DO
Like all the modern day chatbots and virtual assistants it can help you with content generation, data analysis, finance trading or even medical diagnosis. But with a prospect multimodal interface it can not only transcribe speech but also add captions to your favorite images and videos. Maybe even conjur up some digital art. While some of these talents are still in the wings, Google’s hinting at a dazzling future where Gemini will unleash its full potential, promising a tech spectacle just around the corner.
And yet again Google, left us scratching our heads about Gemini. They forgot to tell that it’s a whole different universe from the Gemini apps we got to use. These apps are like the backstage pass to tap into Gemini’s magic, making it your go-to gateway for Google’s GenAI wonderland. Oh, and to keep things interesting, Gemini is playing in its own league, totally separate from Imagen 2, Google’s text-to-image.
Apparently promising, here’s what we know about the current models….
Gemini Nano
Gemini Nano is the pint-sized powerhouse of the Gemini family, capable of operating right on your phone. The “Lil Gem” brings Summarize in Recorder and the Smart Reply in Gboard to Pixel 8 Pros . The Recorder app becomes your personal summarizer, distilling your recorded chats and interviews, all happening offline with privacy. And peek into Gboard’s future – Gemini Nano’s got its fingers on the pulse, currently jazzing up Smart Reply in WhatsApp and promising to sprinkle its magic in more apps by 2024. It’s like having a tiny genius in your pocket!
Gemini Pro
Gemini Pro is like the upgraded brainiac of the AI world, outshining LaMDA in reasoning and planning. A study by Carnegie Mellon and BerriAI gives it a thumbs up for tackling complex reasoning chains, though it still stumbles in the math. Hah! Not very useful to the students for homework!
But, Google’s got the fix with Gemini 1.5 Pro, a turbocharged sibling. This bad boy can process a whopping 35 times more data than its predecessor, and it’s not just about text. Picture it sifting through 11 hours of audio or an hour of video – a bit slow, but it gets the job done.
In the AI Studio, developers get to craft the perfect symphony. Imagine tweaking the model temperature for just the right creative vibe, throwing in examples for tone and style, and dialing in safety settings. That’s what you get total control in the palm of your hands. It’s a chat revolution, and you’re the conductor!
Now, here’s the VIP pass – Gemini Pro struts its stuff via API in Vertex AI. Text in, text out, easy peasy. There’s even a special edition, Gemini Pro Vision, doing the text-and-image dance, rivaling OpenAI’s GPT-4 with Vision model. Developers can fine-tune it, connect it to third-party APIs, and basically make it their AI rockstar for any gig.
Gemini Ultra
Gemini Ultra is the best out there to offer problem-solving. Now this is something that really helps with your physics homework, or even help in spotting those sneaky mistakes. Not just that it could dive into scientific papers, extracts info, or updates charts for you.
Now, the cool part – Gemini Ultra isn’t just a spectator. No prompts needed for image generation; it effortlessly whips them up on its own. And guess what? You can tap into this genius via Vertex AI and AI Studio, making your projects shine.
But, as they say if you are good at something, don’t do it for free and Gemini knows that! Gemini Ultra has its VIP access through the Google One AI Premium Plan. For $20 a month, you not only get the Ultra experience but also a ticket to connect with your Google Workspace – summarizing emails or capturing notes during Google Meet calls.
Google Gemini or OpenAI’s GPT who’s better ?
Google has been waving the victory flag for Gemini, claiming it’s hall of benchmarks. Now, whether benchmarks are the MVPs is a hot debate, but Google insists Gemini Ultra is the champ.On the Pro side, Gemini supposedly rules the roost in summarizing, brainstorming, and writing tasks. However, the reality check hits hard – users and academics aren’t throwing confetti. Gemini Pro has its share of oopsies. Playing fast and loose with facts, stumbling through translations, and offering not-so-stellar coding advice are just a few. On the other hand GPT-4 has proven to be more spot on with the user prompts, providing challenging if not better outputs.
How Do You get to experience Gemini ?
For the developers in the crowd, the real fun happens in the Vertex AI preview. It’s like the backstage pass to Gemini Pro and Ultra via API, and guess what? It’s free to play around (within limits, of course). Chat functions and filtering are the cool kids in this playground.
But wait, there’s more! AI Studio is where developers get to flex, crafting prompts and Gemini-infused chatbots. It’s the place where dreams turn into API keys, ready to rock your apps or get exported for a coding adventure in a full-fledged IDE.
The most effortless way to experience it is through Gemini apps, and yes it’s true only get a gist of it still a worth trying experience. But don’t worry Gemini is spreading its magic in Chrome’s dev tools and lighting up the Firebase mobile dev platform!
Metaverse is indeed colossal. With the Gen AI coming in, a few or more contenders will be leveling for a ground breaking Meta-Industry. So yea, sooner or later AI will be crammed into everything around you!
