Google Gemini: How to use Google's new AI?

In the midst of the AI war, Google once again surprises by launching the Google Gemini, a revolutionary Artificial Intelligence (AI) designed to enhance the famous Bard chatbot.

This launch cements Google's position as a leader in AI, challenging even OpenAI's famous ChatGPT.

Today, we’re going to learn all the details of what makes Gemini unique and how you can use this innovation in your daily interactions.

What is Google Gemini?

Google Gemini is the latest AI creation, surpassing its predecessor, Bard.

This multimodal AI is designed to organize, understand, and combine different forms of information, from text commands to images, videos, audio, and programming codes.

Developing the system was a process that involved a dedicated team of engineers, data scientists and AI experts.

The company sought to create an AI that not only outperformed its predecessor, Bard, but also excelled in flexibility, efficiency, and multimodal understanding from the ground up.

The early stages of development involved extensive research in deep learning, training on in-house AI chips and Google's own tensor processing units, such as the TPU v4 and v5e.

Google DeepMind, with its CEO Demis Hassabis, played a key role in this process, seeking to create a model that was not only powerful but also capable of handling multiple complex tasks.

In the words of Demis Hassabis, the Gemini is the most “capable” model ever built by the company.

How does Google Gemini work?

Gemini's operation is remarkably flexible, adapting to both Google data centers and mobile devices.

Available in three sizes – Nano, Pro and Ultra – the Nano operates in smartphones, the Pro in data centers, and the Ultra, still unavailable, promises to be the most effective model for complex tasks.

The difference is its multimodal approach from the beginning, allowing the understanding and natural combination of different types of data.

Trained on Google's in-house AI chips and tensor processing units, the AI stands out for its flexibility and efficiency.

What are the differences between AI?

Unlike other language and deep learning models, Google Gemini was built to be complete from the ground up.

This aspect allows AI to understand and combine different types of data more naturally, excelling in flexibility and efficiency.

Proof of Gemini’s superior performance is evidenced by its score of 90% on the Massive Multi-Task Language Understanding (MMLU) test, outperforming OpenAI’s state-of-the-art model.

Is AI Available Yet?

Gemini Pro is now available to users in over 170 countries, through Bard and exclusively in the English version.

This update is hailed as the biggest quality improvement to Bard since its release.

Gemini Nano, available for Pixel 8 smartphones, addresses the demands of efficient AI processing without connecting to external servers.

Developers and enterprise customers will also have access to Pro via the Gemini API in AI Studio Google and on Google Cloud Vertex AI starting December 13.

In the coming months, Gemini will be integrated into more Google products and services, such as Search, Ads, Chrome and Duet AI. The Ultra version is expected to hit the market in early 2024.

How to Use Gemini?

Currently, Gemini operates exclusively within Bard in the English version. To try out the AI, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign in to your Google account.
2. Click on the three dots in the top right corner and select 'Settings'.
3. Under “Manage your Google Account”, go to “Personal information”.
4. Select “Language” and set English as your preferred language.

Advances in AI are on the way

Google Gemini represents a remarkable advancement in Artificial Intelligence, elevating the capabilities of the already impressive Bard chatbot.

With its multimodal approach and exceptional performance, the system promises to transform digital interactions in a significant way.

Be prepared to explore the possibilities offered by this innovation, which is already available to users in various parts of the world.
