Meanwhile, Google recently unveiled its latest language model, Gemini, touted as the company’s most powerful to date. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Gemini surpassed OpenAI’s GPT-4 and human experts in massive multitask language understanding (MMLU) tasks.
Pichai announced Gemini 1.0 on X, describing it as a highly capable and versatile AI model. Gemini is designed natively to be multimodal and marks the beginning of a new era of models for Google. The Gemini lineup includes three optimized sizes: Ultra, Pro, and Nano.
In addition, Google revealed that the Gemini AI Nano, the more efficient variant of the language model, will be integrated into on-device tasks on the Pixel 8 Pro. This implementation on the Pixel 8 Pro will enable new features, such as providing summaries of recorded conversations and delivering AI-powered responses to ongoing discussions.
