Exploring Google Gemini: The Next Frontier in AI Rivalry with ChatGPT
ChatGPT took off in 2023, and the online AI tool became so popular that even your chronically offline uncle, who does not own a phone, was aware of it. However, as OpenAI works to polish and develop its prodigy, competition is poised to take control.
Soon after ChatGPT was launched, Google announced the shape of Bard. A competitor to the OpenAI service, Bard could do everything ChatGPT could, but with the might of the globe’s finest search engine behind it.
Now, Google is moving another step forward with its new project, Google Gemini, which is now being implemented. It appears to be exceeding ChatGPT, leaving many of us wondering whether Google will claim the top rank in AI by 2024.
How does Google Gemini work?
ChatGPT is widely recognized as the most well-known OpenAI tool. But for that tool to function, it must be fueled by something; this is where GPT-4 comes in. GPT-4, a big language model, is trained on billions of data sets from the internet to recognize images, sentences, context, and a variety of other elements.

In the case of Google, Gemini is the engine that powers its artificial intelligence programs, such as Bard.
Gemini, built from the ground up with teams from throughout Google, can generalize and understand content such as text, code, audio, images, and videos. Like GPT-4. Gemini was trained using a vast dataset that included books, articles, code repositories, music, audio recordings, and other types of material.
All of this data has been split down into a format that Gemini can understand. The model then learns about the relationships between various concepts and media, as well as how to respond to cues, queries, and suggestions.
How to Try Google Gemini For Free?
Currently, there are two methods for testing Google Gemini, one more accessible than the other. For the majority of users, the simplest option is to log into the company’s chatbot, Google Bard, which is now running on a test version of Gemini.
If you’ve never used Google Bard before, just create an account and start using it right away. The full version of Gemini Google, which the business is currently advertising, is scheduled to become available through Bard shortly.
So, what exactly is the test version capable of? There are still certain limitations to the model, and while Gemini has made it smarter, don’t anticipate perfect answers every time.
What is the second way to access Gemini? For those who hold a Google Pixel 8 Pro, Gemini Nano (the weakest form of Gemini—more on that below) is accessible via a few features, most of which are connected with WhatsApp, Google Keyboard, and the Recorder app.
What Can Gemini Do?
In the past couple of weeks, Google has pushed relentlessly to highlight its Gemini technology, sharing films of its capabilities and extolling its superiority over competitors. However, while amazing, they are all incredibly controlled, making it difficult to predict how well Gemini will perform.
In a recently viral Google video, a person is seen drawing various objects while Gemini describes what they are drawing in real-time. Even better, Gemini responds to queries regarding the objects drawn, speaks in multiple languages, and even creates games based on the graphics exhibited.
Google has also demonstrated Gemini guessing movies from collaborated photos; show it a picture of pancakes and bacon next to one of the people dancing at a rave and ask it to guess the name of the movie, and it should be able to answer properly (five points if you reply The Breakfast Club).

It can also predict when particular clothing items should be worn (e.g., bulky coats are for cold weather), make connections between different words and images, and simplify your child’s arithmetic homework for you.
Finally, because Gemini is trained in words, photos, videos, code, and most other types of digital content, its capabilities are likely limitless.
Conclusion
Gemini has outperformed GPT-4 in 30 of the 32 categories used to assess the models’ knowledge, reasoning, perception, and more. In fact, with a score of 90%, Gemini is the first model to exceed human professionals in a major multitask language comprehension test.
That entails a mix of 57 subjects from math, physics, history, law, ethics, medicine, and a variety of other knowledge and problem-solving activities. Because Google has investigated everything, it is impossible to say how well it operates outside of controlled tests. Unlike OpenAI, which makes its tools rapidly available to the public, Google prefers to take its time.
All of these astounding figures were reached by the model’s most powerful version, Gemini Ultra. Google intends to release three versions of Gemini: the upgraded Ultra, Pro, and Nano versions.
