Taking on OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google Deepmind launched its most advanced AI software model – Google Gemini AI, on Wednesday, December 7, 2023. This groundbreaking innovation is the largest and ‘most capable’ AI model ever that ensures to solve humankind’s most challenging problems through discovery, innovation, transparency, and optimization with the goal of augmenting human intelligence.

Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai says:

“It’s the beginning of a new era of AI at Google: The Gemini Era.”

According to Google, Gemini AI is equally adept at understanding text, images, video, and speech and can reason over complex topics like Physics problems. It’s all powered by the fifth generation of Google’s custom AI chips.

Google Gemini AI Model’s Areas of Expertise

In the realm of Computer Vision, Gemini excels in object detection, enabling precise identification of elements within images; scene understanding, facilitating a nuanced comprehension of visual contexts; and anomaly detection, providing a robust capability to identify irregularities or deviations in visual data.

The AI multimodal Gemini’s expertise also lies in Geospatial Science. It demonstrates multi-source data fusion, seamlessly integrating info from various geographical sources; continuous monitoring, enabling persistent observation and assessment of dynamic spatial data; and planning & intelligence, contributing to strategic decision-making processes in geospatial applications.

In the domain of human health, Google Gemini AI is well-adept at personalized healthcare, tailoring solutions to individual health needs; biosensors integration in order to enhance diagnostic capabilities; and preventive medicine, leveraging its capabilities to identify potential health risks and contribute to proactive health management.

Gemini’s versatility extends to integrative technologies, where it excels in domain knowledge transfer, seamlessly transferring expertise across different fields; data fusion, enhancing information synthesis, decision making, underscoring its value in critical decision support systems, and proficiency in large language models (LLMs) that makes it multifaceted and high capable tool across a spectrum of integrative technologies.

How to Access Gemini AI

The cutting-edge large language model – Google Gemini AI, comes in three different sizes. Gemini Ultra is the largest and most capable category; Gemini Pro scales across a wide range of tasks; and Gemini Nano is specific to specific tasks and mobile devices.

The ‘Pro’ and ‘Nano’ versions of the Google Gemini AI model are immediately incorporated into Google’s AI-powered chatbot – Bard as well as its Pixel 8 Pro smartphone.

For the ease of customers, the company is planning to license Gemini via Google Cloud to use it in their own applications. Developers and enterprise customers can access Gemini Pro via the Gemini API.

Interestingly, Gemini AI is only available in English as a highly capable and competitive AI model. Though Goole plans to roll out support for other languages soon.

Google also teased that its further improved model, Gemini Ultra, may arrive in 2024 and could initially be available inside an upgraded chatbot – Bard Advanced.

In a white paper released on Wednesday, the most advanced version of Gemini demonstrated superiority over GPT-4 in various benchmarks, including multiple-choice exams and grade-school math. However, the paper acknowledged persistent challenges in enabling AI models to attain higher-level reasoning skills.
