Presenting Gemini:
By Google DeepMind CEO and co-founder Demis Hassabis as a member of the Gemini team:
My life’s work has focused on AI, as has the work of a lot of my research coworkers. Since I was a teenager and began programming artificial intelligence for video games, as well as during my tenure as a brain research researcher attempting to comprehend how the brain functions, I have always held the belief that if we were able to develop machines with greater intelligence, we could use them to tremendously improve humanity.
At Google DeepMind, our work is still motivated by the promise of an ethically empowered AI world. We have long aspired to develop a fresh batch of AI models that are motivated by human perceptions and interactions with the environment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) that has the feel of a knowledgeable assistant or helper rather than a clever piece of software.
With the release of Gemini, our most capable and all-around model to date, we’ve taken a step towards realising this goal.
Large-scale teamwork from teams throughout Google, including our friends at Google Research, produced Gemini. Its multimodal architecture was designed from the ground up to enable it to comprehend, operate on, and combine various forms of information, such as text, code, audio, images, and videos, while also being able to generalise.

Our most adaptable model to date, Gemini can operate effectively on a wide range of platforms, including mobile phones and data centers.
Performance at the cutting edge:
Our Gemini models have undergone extensive testing, and we’ve been assessing how well they perform across a broad range of tasks. Gemini Ultra outperforms current results on 30 of the 32 commonly used academic standards used in broad language model development and research, ranging from natural image, audio, as well as video analysing to mathematical reasoning.
With a large multitask language understanding rating of 90.0%, Gemini Ultra is the newest model to surpass human experts in this domain. MMLU tests both problem-solving and general knowledge across 57 subjects, including physics, mathematics, history, law, medicine, and ethics.
Our new benchmark strategy for MMLU allows Gemini to make substantial gains over simply relying on its initial impression by leveraging its reasoning powers to deliberate more thoroughly before responding to challenging questions.
In addition, Gemini Ultra records a world-first score of 59.4% on the recently released MMMU benchmark, which comprises multimodal tasks involving several domains and deliberate reasoning.
Not aided by OCR (optical character recognition) systems, which extract text from visuals for further processing, Gemini Ultra performed better with the image benchmarks we assessed than previous state-of-the-art models. These benchmarks demonstrate Gemini’s innate multimodality and show early evidence of Gemini’s capacity for more sophisticated reasoning.
Google Gemini has arrived and is currently undergoing testing in search.
Next year, Google’s multifaceted AI model, Gemini, will be available in Search and Ads. The SGE response times have already decreased.
Looking for Gemini. In the upcoming months, Gemini will be accessible in Search, Ads, and additional Google products. While this is going on, Google Search continues to evaluate Gemini, which has, according to Google, decreased the delay of Search Generative Knowledge responses for English by 40% and resulted in other, as yet unspecified quality improvements.
Google Gemini: What is it? Known by its official name, Gemini 1.0, it is a massive language model that can process any kind of data, including text, images, audio, video, and code. Google is now competitively closer to OpenAI’s GPT model thanks to Gemini. There were three Gemini “sizes” revealed:
- Ultra, for really difficult jobs.
- Pro, the “highest performing model” from Google for a variety of tasks.
- Nano is for on-device work (i.e., Pixel or other Android phones).
In Bard, Gemini. Gemini Pro has been “fine-tuned” to power Google Bard. According to Google, this allows Bard to reason, plan, and understand at a higher level. Over 170 countries currently offer English versions of Bard, which is dubbed the “biggest upgrade” since launch. There are plans to add more countries in “the near future.”
According to Google, a new version of Bard Advanced supported by Gemini Ultra will also launch early in 2019. It’s unknown how much, if any, Bard Advanced will cost.
Is Google’s new AI model Gemini truly superior to ChatGPT?
Recently, Google Deepmind unveiled Gemini, a new AI model meant to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT. While ChatGPT is a broad language model (LLM) that focuses on text production, both models are manifestations of “generative AI,” which finds patterns in input information for training to generate fresh information (images, words, or other media).
Google has an informal web application called Bard that was founded on a model referred to LaMDA (skilled on dialogue), much like ChatGPT, a website application for conversations, is based on a neural network, also known as GPT (skilled on massive amounts of text). However, Google is now updating that in light of Gemini.
The fact that Gemini is a “multi-modal model” sets it apart from previous generative AI models like LaMDA. This indicates that it is directly compatible with a variety of input as well as output formats, including text, images, audio, and video. Consequently, a new abbreviation is surfacing: LMM, or large multimodal model; this should not be confused with LLM.
OpenAI unveiled GPT-4Vision, a model that can process text, audio, and images, in September. But unlike Gemini, which claims to be a fully multimodal model, this one isn’t.
For instance, while GPT-4V-powered ChatGPT-4 can process audio inputs and produce speech results, OpenAI has verified that this is accomplished by employing a different deep learning model named Whisper to convert speech to text upon input. GPT-4V only works with text because ChatGPT-4 uses a different model to convert written to speech on output.
Similar to ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4 can also generate photos, but it does so by creating prompts with text that are sent to Dall-E 2, a different deep learning model, which turns text descriptions into photos.
Google, on the other hand, intended Gemini to be “natively multimodal.” This indicates that a variety of input formats, including text, images, audio, and video, can be directly handled and output by the core model.
The capabilities of the future:
Up until now, training individual components for various modalities and then piecing them together to approximate some of these features was the standard procedure for developing multimodal models. These models can occasionally excel at certain tasks, such as describing images, but they have trouble with more sophisticated and conceptual reasoning.
Since Gemini was pre-trained on various modalities from the beginning, we built it to be naturally multimodal. Then, to increase its efficacy even more, we adjusted it using more multimodal data. This makes Gemini far more capable than current multimodal models at understanding and reasoning about a wide range of the inputs from the floor up. In almost every domain, its capacities are now state of the art.
The latest smartphone via AI built in, the Pixel 8 Pro, is currently running Gemini Nano.
Gemini comes in three sizes: Ultra, Pro, and Nano. It is designed to function on a wide range of devices, including smartphones and data centres. Our most effective model designed for on-device tasks, Gemini Nano, is now compatible with Pixel 8 Pro. Utilising the capabilities of the Google Tensor G3, this smartphone is the first designed specifically for the Gemini Nano. It offers two additional features: In Gboard, use Smart Reply and Recorder to summarise.
By design, Gemini Nano rushing on Pixel 8 Pro has a number of benefits, including the ability to utilise capabilities without connecting to the internet and assisting in keeping sensitive data on the phone. The larger household of Gemini designs will open up new features for the deputy with Bard expertise on Pixel early next year, in contrast to the Gemini Nano running on-device now.
Pixel devices use additional AI-based tools in addition to generative AI models to enable you to do more. Recent developments for productivity and customisation, along with these new features, will start to appear on Pixel smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches today.
Specialized coding:
Our initial iteration of Gemini was able to comprehend, elucidate, and produce top-notch code in the most widely used programming languages, including C++, Java, Python, and Go. It is one of the most popular the basis frameworks for programming in the world because of its capacity to function across languages while reasoning about complicated information.
Using our internal held-out dataset Natural2Code and HumanEval (a key industry standard for evaluating performance on coding tasks), Gemini Ultra performs exceptionally well in a number of coding benchmarks.
Gemini can also power more sophisticated coding systems as its engine. We introduced AlphaCode, the first artificial intelligence (AI) code generation system to perform competitively in programming competitions, two years ago.
We have developed a more sophisticated generation of code system, AlphaCode 2, using a customised version of Gemini. It is highly effective in solving aggressive programming problems involving not only coding but also intricate computational theory.
Analysed on the identical platform as AlphaCode 1, AlphaCode 2 demonstrates significant advancements, solving almost twice as many problems. Our approximation is that it outperforms 85% of competitors, compared to AlphaCode’s nearly 50% performance. Programmers can enhance AlphaCode 2’s performance by specifying specific properties for code samples to adhere to.
In order to release apps and create better services more quickly, we’re excited about programmers using increasingly powerful AI models as tools for collaboration. These models can help reason through problems, suggest code designs, and support implementation.
Constructed with accountability and security in mind:
In everything we do at Google, we’re dedicated to developing brave and responsible AI. By incorporating additional safeguards to accommodate Gemini’s multimodal capabilities, we’re expanding on Google’s AI Principles and the strict safety guidelines that apply to all of our products. We think about possible risks at every stage of development and try to test and reduce them.
Of all the Google AI models to date, Gemini has undergone the most thorough safety assessments, including tests for toxicity and bias. In order to help identify critical safety issues prior to Gemini’s deployment, we have carried out original research into potential risk areas such as cyber-offense, persuasion, and autonomy. Additionally, we have utilised Google Research’s best-in-class adversarial testing techniques.
We are stress-testing our models on a variety of problems in collaboration with a wide range outside experts and partners in order to find blind spots in our own assessment methodology.
We use benchmarks like Real Toxicity Prompts, a collection of 100,000 commands with different levels of toxicity taken from the internet and created by specialists at the Allen Institute’s Centre for AI, to identify material safety issues during Gemini’s training phases and make sure its output complies with our policies.
Our models’ development and implementation will always be centred on responsibility and safety. Our Protect AI Framework (SAIF), that was created to help alleviate threats to security related to AI systems across both the private and public sectors, is one example of the collaborative relationships we are forming with the industry as well as larger ecosystem in order to set security and safety benchmarks and define best practices. Other partnerships we have are with the Frontier Model Forums as well as its AI Safety Fund, and MLCommons. As we develop Gemini, we’ll keep working with academics, governments, and civil society organisations all over the world.
The Gemini era: opening the door to an innovative future:
In addition to marking the beginning of a new chapter in Google’s history, this important turning point in AI development also signifies the responsible advancement of our models’ capabilities at a rapid pace.
While Gemini has come a long way, we still have a long way to go. We’re putting a lot of effort into improving its planning and memory capabilities as well as expanding the context window to process even more data and provide better answers in future iterations.
The incredible potential of a responsibly AI-powered future that will foster innovation, expand knowledge, progress science, and revolutionise the lives and careers of billions of people worldwide excites us.
