A new era in AI development

Google recently unveiled its new AI model Gemini, taking a significant step forward in the world of artificial intelligence (AI). The company sees Gemini as a milestone, comparable to OpenAI's GPT-4, but with the ambition to be stronger and better.

Gemini's multimodal capabilities

One of Gemini's outstanding features is its multimodality. It can understand and process text, images, audio and video content. Google particularly emphasizes Gemini's ability to think logically and draw conclusions. A practical example of this is help with homework, where Gemini can analyze not only printed questions from textbooks, but also handwritten answers and identify errors.

The three versions of Gemini: Nano, Pro and Ultra

Gemini will be available in three versions: Nano, Pro and Ultra. Gemini Nano is particularly efficient and should even be able to run on mobile devices without requiring a connection to Google's servers. Gemini Pro is already integrated into Google's chatbot Bard, which was designed in response to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Ultra version will be the most powerful model and will run in Google's data centers.

The challenge of a bumpy start

Despite the groundbreaking potential of Gemini, Google admits that the model is not yet fully mature. The launch of Gemini has been bumpy, and it will be some time before the model is integrated into other Google products. Gemini Ultra, the most powerful model, will initially only be available to a select group of customers, developers and partners.

Focus on safety and reliability

Google has commissioned internal and external experts to comprehensively test Gemini in order to avoid potential security risks and the creation of toxic or factually incorrect content. Fine-tuning and human feedback should make the model more reliable and suitable for everyday use.

Conclusion: A promising, but still unfinished step

Gemini marks an important step forward in the development of AI, even if it will be some time before its full capabilities can be used in a wide range of applications. With Gemini, Google is aiming for a new era in AI, but must face the challenges of the market and the constant development of AI technology.
