What is Gemini? The AI Revolution Unveiled:

Say hello to Gemini—Google’s jaw-dropping, next-generation family of generative AI models that’s been years in the making! Crafted by the brilliant minds at Google’s DeepMind and Google Research labs, Gemini isn’t just one model—it’s a stellar lineup of four powerhouse variants:

Gemini Ultra: The colossal titan of the family, built for massive tasks.
Gemini Pro: A large-scale marvel, slightly smaller than Ultra but still a beast. Meet its crown jewel, Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, Google’s flagship showstopper.
Gemini Flash: The lightning-fast, “distilled” version of Pro. It comes in flavors like Gemini Flash-Lite (even speedier and smaller) and Gemini Flash Thinking Experimental (with mind-bending reasoning skills).
Gemini Nano: Compact yet mighty, with Nano-1 and the beefier Nano-2, designed to run offline and bring AI magic anywhere.

What makes Gemini truly out-of-this-world? All models are natively multimodal—they don’t just handle text; they dominate audio, images, videos, codebases, and multilingual content! Google supercharged them with pre-training and fine-tuning on a treasure trove of public, proprietary, and licensed data. Move over, text-only AIs like Google’s LaMDA (which sticks to essays and emails)—Gemini’s versatility is in a league of its own.

But here’s the twist: the ethics and legality of training on public data—sometimes without consent—are a bit of a gray area. Google’s got your back with an AI indemnification policy for some Google Cloud users facing lawsuits, though it’s got exceptions. Thinking of going commercial with Gemini? Tread carefully and stay informed

Gemini Apps vs. Gemini Models: What’s the Big Difference?

Hold onto your hats—Gemini is not the same as the Gemini apps you’ll find on the web or mobile (once called Bard)! So, what’s the deal? The Gemini models are Google’s blockbuster family of generative AI powerhouses, while the Gemini apps are the slick, chatbot-style front ends that tap into these models. Think of the apps as your VIP pass to Google’s AI magic—similar to how ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude apps work. Ready to dive in? Find Gemini on the web here (insert-link), snag the Android app (now replacing Google Assistant), or use the Google and Google Search apps as your Gemini gateways on iOS.

On Android, things get even wilder! You can now summon the Gemini overlay over any app—like a YouTube video—by holding the power button or saying, “Hey Google.” Boom! Ask questions about what’s on your screen in real time. How cool is that?

The Gemini apps don’t mess around—they handle text, voice, images, and even files like PDFs (with videos coming soon!) from uploads or Google Drive. Plus, they can whip up images on demand. And if you’re signed into the same Google Account, your chats seamlessly sync between mobile and web. It’s next-level convenience!

Gemini Advanced: Unleash the Beast

But wait, there’s more! The Gemini apps aren’t the only way to tap into these AI superpowers. Google’s sneaking Gemini-powered features into your favorite tools like Gmail, Google Docs, and beyond. Want in? You’ll need the Google One AI Premium Plan—just $20 a month. This golden ticket unlocks Gemini in Google Workspace (Docs, Maps, Slides, Sheets, Drive, Meet—you name it!) and powers up the apps with Gemini Advanced, Google’s elite-tier models.

What’s the Advanced hype about? Think priority access to cutting-edge features, the ability to run and tweak Python code right in Gemini, and a massive context window—up to 750,000 words (or 1,500 pages of docs!) of memory and reasoning. Compare that to the standard app’s 24,000 words (48 pages), and it’s clear: Advanced is for the big leagues.

Gemini extensions and Gems

Announced at Google I/O 2024, Gemini Advanced users can create Gems, custom chatbots powered by Gemini models. Gems can be generated from natural language descriptions — for example, “You’re my running coach. Give me a daily running plan” — and shared with others or kept private.

Gems are available on desktop and mobile in 150 countries and most languages. Eventually, they’ll be able to tap an expanded set of integrations with Google services, including Google Calendar, Tasks, Keep, and YouTube Music, to complete custom tasks.

Speaking of integrations, the Gemini apps on the web and mobile can tap into Google services via what Google calls “Gemini extensions.” Gemini today integrates with Google Drive, Gmail, and YouTube to respond to queries such as “Could you summarize my last three emails?” Later this year, Gemini will be able to take additional actions with Google Calendar, Keep, Tasks, YouTube Music and Utilities, the Android-exclusive apps that control on-device features like timers and alarms, media controls, the flashlight, volume, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and so on.

Gemini Live in-depth voice chats

An experience called Gemini Live allows users to have “in-depth” voice chats with Gemini. It’s available in the Gemini apps on mobile and the Pixel Buds Pro 2, where it can be accessed even when your phone’s locked.

With Gemini Live enabled, you can interrupt Gemini while the chatbot’s speaking (in one of several new voices) to ask a clarifying question, and it’ll adapt to your speech patterns in real time. At some point, Gemini is supposed to gain visual understanding, allowing it to see and respond to your surroundings, either via photos or video captured by your smartphones’ cameras.

Live is also designed to serve as a virtual coach of sorts, helping you rehearse for events, brainstorm ideas, and so on. For instance, Live can suggest which skills to highlight in an upcoming job or internship interview, and it can give public speaking advice.

You can read our review of Gemini Live here. Spoiler alert: We think the feature has a ways to go before it’s super useful — but it’s early days, admittedly.

Image generation via Imagen 3

Gemini users can generate artwork and images using Google’s built-in Imagen 3 model.

Google says that Imagen 3 can more accurately understand the text prompts that it translates into images versus its predecessor, Imagen 2, and is more “creative and detailed” in its generations. In addition, the model produces fewer artifacts and visual errors (at least according to Google), and is the best Imagen model yet for rendering text.

What Can the Gemini Models Do? Prepare to Be Amazed

The Gemini models aren’t just any AI—they’re multimodal marvels, ready to tackle a dazzling array of tasks! From transcribing speech on the fly to captioning images and videos in real time, these models are built to impress. Many of these mind-blowing features are already live in Google’s products (as we hinted earlier), and the tech giant is teasing even more epic upgrades just around the corner. The future’s looking seriously bright!

But hold up—can we trust the hype? Google’s original Bard rollout was a bit of a letdown, and more recently, a flashy video showcasing Gemini’s “capabilities” turned out to be more dream than demo. Still, when it works, Gemini’s multimodal magic is undeniable—think next-level AI that sees, hears, and creates like never before!

Now, a quick reality check: Gemini isn’t perfect. Like other generative AI tech, it can stumble into hallucinations (making stuff up) and carry encoded biases from its training data. Google hasn’t cracked those nuts yet—nor have its rivals like OpenAI or Meta—but it’s something to watch out for, especially if you’re planning to use or invest in Gemini for serious projects.
