Google recently unveiled its latest large language model (LLM), named Gemini, designed to be more powerful and capable than its predecessor.
Gemini is developed by Google’s DeepMind division
The new LLM comes in three sizes, Nano for fast on-device tasks, Pro for middle-tier functionality and Ultra for the most powerful and advanced language processing.
Safety checks are pending and once cleared, Google’s new AI will be integrated in Bard, the AI chatbot.
Google Gemini in Bard
According to Google, the integration of Gemini with Google’s chatbot Bard brings is set to significantly improve user interaction.
Gemini’s advanced capabilities allow Bard to better understand user intent, leading to more accurate and high-quality search query responses.
Gemini also has multimodal processing prowess, meaning that Bard can handle images, audio, and video alongside text, seamlessly translating into a more natural and engaging user experience.
This means users can look forward to more nuanced interactions with AI and get better results for their questions.
How to use Google Gemini in Bard
Gemini Pro is currently accessible within the Bard chatbot for free
Steps to access Google Gemini
Visit Bard’s Website in your browser.
Log In with Google Account
Sign in to Bard using your existing Google account credentials.
Additionally, Google Workspace account users may need to switch over to their personal email account to try Gemini.
Enhanced Bard Experience: Once logged in, you can now enjoy the advanced features of Gemini Pro within Bard.
Limitations
While Gemini Pro within Bard is currently available, there are a few constraints.
Firstly, its language limitation hinders its accessibility on a global scale, as Gemini Pro is currently only available in English.
While Bard has integrated Gemini Pro, its integration within the chatbot remains limited. Google is expected to enhance Gemini’s integration and refine its AI capabilities within Bard in the near future.
Gemini Pro is not available in the European Union currently.
At present, only the text-based version of Gemini Pro is accessible within Bard, without advance multimodal capabilities, which is Gemini’s USP really.
So, users desiring multimedia interactions will have to wait for future updates that will offer a more diverse range of features.
Smartphone Availability
As for mobile availability, Gemini AI, starting with Gemini Nano, is now accessible on Pixel 8 Pro, introducing enhanced features such as summarization in the Recorder app and Smart Reply on Gboard, initially implemented in WhatsApp.
Comparison with GPT-4
Gemini is expected to have a significant impact on the AI industry as it is Google’s most powerful AI model yet and looks gto dethrone OpenAI’s GPT-4 as the most powerful AI model in the industry.
Google claims it is one of the first models that has been built as multi-modal LLM from the ground up. making it more ‘human-like’ in better ways than what other models like GPT-4 can achieve.
This means fewer ‘hallucinations’ in complex tasks involving understanding, summarizing, reasoning, coding, and planning.
Gemini is one of the ‘next-generation multimodal models’ that will utilize Pathways, Google’s new AI infrastructure.
This hints at Gemini potentially being the largest language model created to date.
