find out everything about ChatGPT’s competitor

Released on form of app and personal assistant recently for cell phones Android in Brazil and other territories, Gemini, the generative artificial intelligence of Googlehas been big tech’s big bet for 2024. However, its integration with the company’s ecosystem, its functions and the differences between its models, apps, services and prices can generate a lot of confusion — something that is not new, when it comes to of Google products.

Below, we explain everything you need to know about Gemini, its ramifications, pricing, and capabilities.

Google says that, compared to rival GPT-4, the Ultra model has better results in Python code generation tests, math challenges and general knowledge answers.

This is the model used across Google Workspace, including Gmail, Docs documents, Sheets presentations, and Google Meet recordings, bringing a host of additional features to each program. This service costs: R$96.99/month, via Google One AI Premium subscription.

Gemini Ultra is also available to developers as an API through the Vertex AI platform and AI Studio, allowing it to be applied to new services.

Gemini Pro

Available in versions 1.0 and 1.5

Designed for developers, the Gemini Pro is a lighter version than the Ultra model, with a more “efficient” architecture. In addition to text, Gemini Pro is capable of understanding different languages, extracting information from audio and videos without the need to perform a written transcription. However, this can take time: searching through an hour of video can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute.

In its current latest version, 1.5 (in testing phase), the model is capable of processing up to 1 million tokens, equivalent to around 700 thousand words or approximately 30 thousand lines of code – eight times more than GPT-4 Turbo by Open AI.

Its main feature is the amount of context it can process. As an example, Google claims that the PDF containing the 402-page transcripts of the Apollo 11 mission can be analyzed by Gemini 1.5, which is equivalent to approximately 327 thousand tokens. In tests, the AI ​​was able to identify comical moments in the transcription, upon request, as well as understand that a simple drawing of a boot stepping on the ground, sent by the user, represented the moment of Neil Armstrong stepping on the Moon.

Gemini 1.5 Pro is available to the public in a “preview” version on Vertex AIa platform for building AI applications aimed at companies.

Gemini Nano

Available in versions 1.0

The Geminio Nano is a “compact” version of the Pro and Ultra models, capable of running directly on cell phones instead of servers. Some more modern devices, such as the Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S24, already have some Gemini Nano features.

One of them is a recorder app capable of transcribing audio from meetings and interviews and highlighting the most important parts, even if you don’t have internet access.

Google’s keyboard, Gboard, also has a Gemini Nano function that tries to predict your next words during a conversation, working in conjunction with WhatsApp.
