Google is beginning to flex its Gemini muscle

Google said Thursday it’s bringing its new Gemini language models to the public in some new ways, including via a new web portal, a renewed chatbot, and some mobile apps

The company’s Bard chatbot, which was once powered by the LaMDA model, is now powered by Gemini. Google has changed the name of Bard to “Gemini” in honor of the upgrade.

The largest and most performant of Google’s family of large language models is called Ultra. The LLM, which was developed by the people at Google DeepMind, reportedly beats OpenAI’s GPT-4 on 30 out of 32 common performance benchmarks, including MMLU. Gemini Ultras is also the first to outperform human experts on the MMLU (massive multitask language understanding) benchmark, which uses a combination of 57 subjects including math, physics, history, law, medicine, and ethics to test knowledge and problem-solving abilities.

Google’s vice president of Google Assistant and Bard, Sissie Hsiao, says her company subjected Gemini Ultra to blind, head-to-head evaluations with other leading LLMs, asking consumers and AI power users which model responses they preferred. “[Gemini] really blew them out of the water,” she says. “It really showed nuance and complexity in what it can do.”

Google is selling access to that model inside a bundle of services called ​​the Google One Al Premium Plan for $19.99 per month, with a two-month free trial. This plan includes access to Gemini Ultra, 2 terabytes of storage, and, soon, the ability to use Gemini in Gmail, Docs, Slides, and Sheets.

Google is also exposing Gemini through a new standalone Android app, and inside the existing Google app on iOS.
