Gemini is Google’s “largest and most capable” AI that can process images, video, text, and even audio. Here’s what to know.
Another day, another AI chatbot: Google has just released a new AI model that it is calling “Gemini.” It now joins other top AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot.
The new generative AI can handle images and video as well as text. The initial model is rolling out today with Google’s Bard chatbot.
It’s currently only available for the English language setting of Bard and will continue rolling out to many more Google products in the “coming months.” Here’s what to know about the new technology — which is Google’s “largest and most capable” AI — and how to use it.
Google is “currently completing extensive trust and safety checks” for their most powerful AI model yet, Gemini Ultra. They plan to roll it out sometime in 2024.
What will Ultra add that the current Gemini models don’t have? A more fine-tuned functionality, boosted thanks to the inclusion of reinforcement learning from human feedback (called RLHF). Select developers and experts will gain early access for feedback purposes.
Also coming even sooner in 2024 is Bard Advanced, a Bard interface that packages up the latest models, including Ultra, once it’s available. Until then, it’s easy to start using the Gemini Pro model now: Just head over to Bard and start talking just like you would with any other generative AI.
