Gemini: Google’s Most Capable AI Model

DeepMind has just unveiled Gemini, billed as its most capable and general AI model to date, promising to redefine the boundaries of multimodal AI performance. Developed in collaboration with experts from Google Research, Gemini stands out with its versatility and seamless operation across various platforms, from data centers to mobile devices.

Gemini comes in three formidable variants:

  • Gemini Ultra for the most complex tasks.

  • Gemini Pro balancing capability and scalability.

  • Gemini Nano optimized for on-device applications.

Analyzing performance across multiple benchmarks, Gemini Ultra has outshined human experts in MMLU with a 90.0% score and advanced in image recognition without relying on OCR systems. Furthermore, Gemini Ultra, the most expansive variant, outshines on 30 of the 32 key benchmarks used in LLMs.

While it excels in complex reasoning over a plethora of benchmarks, it brings a fresh perspective to code generation with its internal project, AlphaCode 2, promising to be a boon for competitive programmers.

But does versatility compromise depth? Not for Gemini. It dazzles with its sophisticated reasoning—transforming the approach to extracting insights from massive data sets, enhancing fields from science to finance.

DeepMind ensures that Gemini is built with safety and responsibility at its core. Extensive evaluations for bias, toxicity, cyber-offense risks, and more are implemented, ensuring Gemini's alignment with Google’s AI Principles.

Starting today, Gemini is rolling out to products worldwide. Notably, Bard will feature an upgraded Gemini Pro for more refined responses. Dev access via the Gemini API opens on December 13.
