When OpenAI released ChatGPT last November, there was a pressing question on everyone’s minds — what are the tech giants doing?

When will companies like Google respond to this development?

We now have our answer.

On December 6, 2023, Google announced their latest AI model: Gemini.

According to the company’s CEO Sundar Pichai, this technology is a huge leap forward in artificial intelligence, and will affect virtually all of Google’s products.

Gemini comes in 3 sizes

The current version of the model is called Gemini 1.0. It can work with text, images, videos, and audio, and comes in 3 different sizes.

Gemini Nano is a small, more efficient version that can be run natively and on Android devices.

Gemini Pro, the middle tier version, strikes a balance between between capability and efficiency. This model performs significantly better than Google’s previous flagship model, PaLM-2. It currently powers the Bard chatbot.
