Remember how amazing it was to watch ‘Terminator’ in our childhood days? It was great to see robots perform tasks without commands. And, then Wall-E- robot! We really hoped that the 21st century would have flying cars just like we saw in The Jetsons.
In these last few days, we have heard the word ‘Gemini’ quite frequently. However, it was not in the horoscope section but in the technology section. The other terms we noticed associated are Google, AI, multimodality, rivalry to ChatGPT, futuristic technology, etc.
Now the question arises – what is Gemini? How is it different from ChatGPT? How does GEMINI benefit me?
Let me help you understand Gemini so that you don’t lose interest in conversations about future technology.
What is Gemini?
GEMINI stands for “Generative Embodied Multilingual Interactive Neural Intelligence.” It is a new AI multimodel launched by Google in December 2023. Gemini is a smart robot that has been programmed to understand and respond to text, images, audio, video and code.
Gemini, developed using large language models (LLMs), is a flexible AI model. It can run efficiently on all devices from data centers to mobile devices. Gemini is a pre-trained AI multimodal that can understand and reason all sorts of data input seamlessly.
What is multimodality?
Multimodality is the utilisation of multiple modes of communication through a single medium for a computer to understand. It usually comprises different mediums of representation such as linguistic, audio, visual, gestural, and spatial.
Gemini is built based on a multimodality approach. As a result, this AI model can seamlessly understand and reason with all kinds of input shared by human beings.
What can Gemini do?
As stated earlier, one of the unique features of Gemini is its multimodality. In simpler terms, it can understand the world like human beings.
Gemini also demonstrates “conversational awareness”. It means it can understand the context of human conversations. In a simplified manner, it is an improved model of the Smart Reply feature found in WhatsApp or other messaging apps where suggested responses appear alongside the response from the other party.
Due to these advanced features, data analysis becomes more accurate and effective.
How is Gemini different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a text-based application that has been helping us with our tasks on a daily basis for this past year. If we need the application to perform a task, we need to explain it to ChatGPT in text and it will provide the output. This means the output will also be inaccurate if we put the wrong prompts.
The limitation of ChatGPT is that even for images, audio or videos, as a user we have to explain it with words. While ChatGPT 3.5 has access to data till 2021, ChatGPT 4 updates to the latest data.
Gemini, on the other hand, is a multimodal LLM. Thus, it is not limited to just a text-based approach but it can understand images, sound, video, and gesture just like a human being. This makes it easier to interact with Gemini.
The limitation of Gemini is its availability in the market at present. Since it is the first version and has been launched recently, its availability to the people is limited.
Conclusion:
The AI model continues to upgrade its features and expand beyond its limitations. The launch of Google multimodal Gemini indeed marks a significant milestone in the improvement of AI and its benefits to our daily lives.
It signifies the fact that our future days will be AI-oriented, performing more of our tasks accurately, efficiently and quickly. With 90% accuracy, Gemini is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding). MMLU is one of the most popular methods to test the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of AI models.

The entire credit is due to the developers at Google for achieving such an important milestone in the world of AI. Their reasoning and problem-solving skills lead to creating a real-life solution that influences billions of lives, which is truly remarkable!
This big leap towards the AI Era shows the importance of AI education and Coding among children in today’s world. That is why Clevered focuses on teaching children coding and equipping them with technological knowledge to secure their future in the digitalised world.
