Google has launched its new LLM model, Gemini, which claims to outperform GPT-4 on 31 out of 32 common AI benchmarks. Gemini is a multimodal model that is trained on text, images, and videos, making it natively capable of interacting with those formats. However, a demo showcasing its real-time spoken interaction was staged, as the model was prompted with still images and text, not actual video prompts. Gemini Pro is currently powering Google's BERT chatbot, with Gemini Ultra set to replace it next year.
