However, there has been some confusion regarding the difference between Gemini and Bard, another Google product. Bard is an interface through which certain Gemini models can be accessed, while Gemini is the family of models itself. There have also been criticisms of Gemini's capabilities, with some users pointing out errors and struggles with translations and coding suggestions. Despite these issues, Google has touted Gemini's superiority over OpenAI’s GPT-4, claiming that Gemini Ultra exceeds current state-of-the-art results on most academic benchmarks used in large language model research and development.
Key takeaways:
- Gemini is Google's new generative AI model family, developed by DeepMind and Google Research, and comes in three versions: Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Nano.
- Gemini models are multimodal, meaning they can work with and use more than just text, setting them apart from models like Google's LaMDA.
- Gemini Pro is currently available and can be used in Bard, Vertex AI, and AI Studio, while Gemini Nano is available on the Pixel 8 Pro.
- Google claims that Gemini models outperform OpenAI's GPT-4 on many benchmarks, but some early user feedback suggests the models still struggle with certain tasks.
