Google has reportedly given a small group of companies access to an early version of Gemini, its conversational artificial intelligence software. Intended to compete with OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, Gemini’s launch holds high stakes for Google, which has intensified investments in generative AI this year. Gemini is a collection of large language models that power everything from chatbots to features that summarize or generate original text based on user preferences. It is also expected to assist software engineers in writing code and generating original images. Google is currently providing developers with access to a relatively large version of Gemini, with plans to make it available to companies through its Google Cloud Vertex AI service.
The launch of OpenAI’s GPT-4 last year posed a significant threat to Google’s business, prompting the company to invest in catching up on the generative AI bandwagon. This effort resulted in the release of Google Bard and Gemini. Researchers anticipate that the generative AI market will be worth 1.3 trillion dollars by 2032, and Google aims to maintain its position as a leader in AI development.
While Gemini is often compared to GPT-4, it incorporates AlphaGo’s techniques for processing data. AlphaGo is a computer program that combines advanced search trees with deep neural networks to play the game Go. Gemini’s advantage lies in Google’s vast array of proprietary training data, which can be combined with AlphaGo’s training methods and networks. This gives Gemini an edge in generating text and images across various services, surpassing the capabilities of ChatGPT.
Gemini’s use of proprietary data in training provides it with distinct insights and inferences. Microsoft-backed ChatGPT’s response to Gemini remains to be seen, but Google’s Gemini could be a groundbreaking step up in the AI race.
