Google has launched Gemini, its new multimodal AI
It's being billed as a ChatGPT killer
Gemini will work with text, code, audio, image and video
The system will come in Ultra, Pro and Nano and will function across a broad range of devices, from smartphones to datacentres.
Google has just released Gemini, a new multimodal AI which is being billed as a "ChatGPT Killer".
Unlike ChatGPT, it can take inputs in text, code, audio, image and video, making it far more powerful and extending the range of applications.
Gemini comes in three sizes – Ultra, Pro and Nano – to function across a broad range of devices from smartphones to datacentres.
Google says Gemini can understand and absorb the world around us.
Google Deepmind has created an ethical framework for Gemini to ensure it's managed with safety and responsibility in all aspects, using filters and classifiers.
Gemini beats OpenAI's GPT-4 and ChatGPT in 30 out of 32 AI model performance benchmarks.
