Despite Google's claims of Gemini Pro's superior architecture and capabilities, the model's performance has been disappointing. Google has compared Gemini Pro's performance to OpenAI's GPT-3.5, a year-old model, and promised improvements in reasoning, planning, and understanding over the previous model powering Bard. However, the anecdotal evidence suggests that Gemini Pro still has significant improvements to make.
Key takeaways:
- Google's new generative AI model, Gemini Pro, has been criticized for its performance, with users reporting it fails to get basic facts right and struggles with translation and coding tasks.
- Gemini Pro has also been found to avoid commenting on potentially controversial news topics, instead directing users to Google the information themselves.
- Despite Google's claims of Gemini Pro's superior architecture and capabilities, anecdotal evidence suggests it does not meet or exceed the performance of other leading gen AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-4.
- Google plans to launch a more capable version of Gemini, Gemini Ultra, next year, promising improvements in reasoning, planning, and understanding over Gemini Pro.
