What is Google Gemini? 

Gemini is Google's largest and most advanced AI multimodal. Google Gemini can analyse different types of data such as text, image, code, audio, and video as input and generate it as output. Its multimodal capabilities open the door to different use cases and new opportunities.

Who Made Gemini?

Gemini was created and trained by Google and Alphabet, Google's parent company, and introduced as Google's most advanced and capable AI model. While introducing Gemini, Google stated that it was built with the collaborative efforts of Google Research, Google DeepMind and AlpaCode teams.

Three Sizes of Google Gemini

Gemini is Google's most flexible AI model. It can efficiently run from data centres to mobile devices. Google's Gemini comes in three different sizes:

  • Gemini Nano: Gemini's most efficient model is designed to run on devices such as smartphones. Gemini Nano comes in two versions: 1.8B (Nano-1) and 3.25B (Nano-2). Gemini Nano is built to perform on-device tasks without external sources, providing best-in-class performance.
  • Gemini Pro: It is the model designed to provide performance-optimized and cost-efficient service in a wide range of tasks. This model offers strong reasoning, performance, input understanding, math, and coding capabilities. Additionally, the Gemini Pro model powers Google Bard.
  • Gemini Ultra: It is Gemini's top-tier model that can do everything the Gemini Pro model can do, plus it has advanced reasoning and multimodal skills to handle complex tasks. Gemini Ultra, which is not yet publicly available, was developed to complete highly complex tasks.

Google Gemini Capabilities

Google Gemini comes with three different sizes and sophisticated features. It is one of the largest, most advanced AI models to date. Google Gemini stands out due to its unique multimodal capabilities that do not require third-party applications. Let's take a closer look at the capabilities of Google Gemini.

Google Gemini Performance

Since Google Gemini is a multimodal AI, it can perform a variety of tasks with high performance. Google Gemini is a high-performance multimodal AI that understands inputs containing text, visuals, videos, audio, and codes to generate output.

According to Google's document, the Gemini Ultra model has high scores in benchmarks such as MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding), GSM8K and MATH. In fact, according to these benchmarks, Google Gemini managed to outperform GPT-4.

Gemini 1.5 Pro

Gemini 1.5 Pro model normally contains a context window consisting of 128,000 tokens. However, as of today, a select group of developers and enterprise customers can test it using a context window with a capacity of up to 1 million tokens, via AI Studio and Vertex AI in a private preview.

Thanks to several machine learning advances, Google has drastically amplified the 1.5 Pro's context window limit from its original capacity of 32,000 tokens for Gemini 1.0. The updated version can now handle up to 1 million tokens during production.

‍

Trained Data

All sizes of Gemini are trained on datasets from web documents and books, including code, images, audio, and video. Additionally, Gemini's smaller sizes have been trained with significantly more tokens for higher performance and accuracy. Google applied quality filters to the data used to train Gemini, which prevented it from being trained with harmful data.

Multimodality

Google Gemini is not limited to just text-based tasks. It can also process visual, video, and audio related data. Google Gemini managed to get high scores in multimodal benchmarks without any support from the OCR (Object Character Recognition) system. In other words, Google Gemini can understand the texts in images and generate output by analysing them without any support.

Reasoning and Input Understanding

Gemini can understand complex written and visual input with its advanced reasoning capabilities. Moreover, thanks to this ability, Gemini can scan thousands of documents, collect the data the user needs and use it to generate output. You can complete your data analysis and data management tasks, which are a long process manually, in a few minutes with Gemini. Additionally, Google Gemini can analyse visual data and generate new visuals according to user prompts.

Advanced Coding: AlphaCode 2

When it comes to coding, it can be said that Gemini can complete complex coding tasks and solve complex problems thanks to its advanced math and reasoning capabilities. While Gemini can complete basic coding tasks, such as creating a simple mobile application, in less than a minute, it can complete competitive coding tasks with high accuracy.

According to Google's article, the AlphaCode 2 model, which is powered by Gemini, solved twice as many problems as its predecessor, AlphaCode. In other words, you can complete advanced coding tasks and solve difficult problems quickly with Gemini. It makes Gemini an impressive assistant with your coding, reasoning, and math tasks.

Safety

While developing Gemini, Google adhered to Google's AI Principles in order to avoid unethical usage of AI. According to Google's AI Principles, an AI model should have a socially beneficial impact and avoid creating unfair biases. Consequently, Gemini does not produce any unethical or harmful results.
