Just as we were jumping around the AI arms race, we apparently haven;t jumped very far as Google's recent announcement about Gemini has sent ripples through the AI community, marking a significant shift in the technological landscape.

As AI enthusiasts and experts alike buzz with excitement, we delve into what Gemini is and how it redefines the role of Google's Bard in the AI world amongst Open AI and Microsoft.

1. Unveiling Gemini: Google's Latest AI Marvel

Gemini is Google's most advanced and versatile AI model, designed to be multimodal and capable of processing and integrating various types of information such as text, code, audio, images, and video​​. It comes in three versions: Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Nano, each optimized for different scales of operation​​. Though it has not been revieled yet, we may exect pricing models fro each of these services as it will only make financial sense to their shareholders.

2. How Gemini Revolutionizes Bard's Capabilities

With the introduction of Gemini, Bard, Google's AI system, receives a substantial upgrade. Bard is now powered by a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro, significantly enhancing its advanced reasoning, planning, and understanding abilities. This upgrade marks the most significant enhancement to Bard since its inception​​.

However, though there are many comparisons made between the Bard + Gemini and GPT4, our personal tests have reveiled that it isn't up to par on a mode day to day consumer level. Our aim here is to see what this means for everyday users of AI for the purpose of enhancing their woek and daily lives buit somehow, GPT4 stood out to us in really being a more productive and efficient model.

3. The Broader Implications of Gemini for the AI Industry

Gemini's capabilities extend beyond individual applications. Its advanced reasoning skills, particularly in complex areas like mathematics and physics, and its proficiency in coding and understanding multimodal inputs, position it at the forefront of AI innovation​​​​​​. Furthermore, Gemini's integration into various Google products, like Pixel smartphones and Bard, indicates a new era of AI ubiquity​​.

In Conclusion...

Google's Gemini represents a major leap in AI technology, significantly enhancing the capabilities of Bard and setting new standards in the AI industry. Its multimodal abilities and flexible application across platforms demonstrate Google's commitment to advancing AI technology responsibly and innovatively​​. However, Gemini has yet to be released and those who are curious would have to test it out using Bard. Will it finall surpass GPT4's API when it finally gets released? Guess we would have to sit tight, hold our pants from blowing off, and wait.
