The greatest AI available, according to Google, is Gemini Ultra 1.0, but it costs money.
In the previous year, Google hastily released its Bard AI, just a few weeks after Microsoft’s ChatGPT demo wowed the whole technology community. There have been a lot of modifications made to Google’s large language models (LLMs), and now the artificial intelligence product that the corporation offers is being rebranded as Gemini. Gemini was already the name of Google’s most recent LLM, but the product that is going to be used by end users is now also called Gemini.
If you attempt to access the Bard web interface, you will be taken to the new Gemini landing page to complete your transaction. A new Gemini Android app has also been released, which gives users access to the same functions while they are on the move. Those who have an iPhone will be able to access Gemini through an enhanced version of the Google program. Additionally, Google is considering incorporating its Duet products, which were previously linked with Google Workspace, into the Gemini umbrella.
A fascinating feature is that you have the ability to make the Gemini Android app your default assistant app. This indicates that Gemini will answer whenever you say “Hey Google” or otherwise activate your mobile assistant in any other way. In the future, it has been hypothesized that generative artificial intelligence will eventually reach Assistant. The new unified AI branding that Google is implementing might simply replace Assistant, and the mobile app might be the first step in this process.
Late in the year 2023, Google made the announcement of the Gemini models, showcasing them with an astounding sixty-minute video demonstration. After some time had passed, Google was forced to clarify that the demonstration was not a live recording of Gemini in action. You may add that to the list of AI mistakes that Google has made, but still, the company asserts that Gemini is the most advanced generative AI platform in the entire world. As a result, it does not provide the greatest quality at no cost.
There is a wide range of Gemini products available, ranging from small LLMs for mobile devices to the brand new Gemini Ultra 1.0. This is the most powerful and extensive LLM that Google has ever employed; it is able to engage in complicated thinking, follow instructions, write code, and develop new applications. It is recommended by Google that you use it as a personal tutor or as a smart sounding board that you may use to formulate ideas for your business. You are required to subscribe for a higher-tier Google One plan, known as AI Premium, in order to gain access to Gemini Ultra. In addition to the normal Google One perks, such as access to a virtual private network (VPN) and 2 terabytes of storage space on Drive, it costs $20 per month.
Gemini will use the Gemini Pro model, which is the middle-tier model, if you do not pay. When you are undecided about whether or not to pay for Gemini Ultra, you have the option to test it out at no cost. Upon registration, Google will provide you with a free trial of the AI Premium plan for a period of two months. Following the conclusion of that time period, the price will return to its standard level of twenty dollars.
When Google’s Liquid Learning Machines (LLMs) were free, it was simple to overlook the rare AI error; however, now that the product is available, customers will reasonably anticipate that it will function as claimed. It will be interesting to see if Gemini can do any better than Assistant and other “smart” platforms, given the level of annoyance that we all face on a consistent basis with these systems.
