Sergey Mikhailovich Brin, who more than a decade ago revealed that he has a genetic mutation that gives him a higher risk of getting Parkinson’s disease, back to business. Brin being a core contributor on the Gemini paper is peak technical founder, coding basically every day.
US$111 billion worth, billionaire who is away from the company from a long time is back and he is literally doing the code himself. That’s passion & that’s what Gemini AI is fire, TO topped Microsoft / OpenAI.
Alongside coding daily with Brin, is Clara Rivera and Shariq Iqbal.
After months of anticipation, Google executives are sharing details about Gemini, its high-stakes effort to catch up to OpenAI. There’s a lot to talk about but the bottom line is that Google’s competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-4 isn’t ready yet.
Google is letting developers sign up to access a miniature version of the model, named Gemini Nano, to build AI apps for Android. A bigger version of Gemini, known as Pro, is due out next week and aims to compete with OpenAI’s GPT-3.5—which the startup released a year ago—and is popular with AI app developers.
But the primary version of Gemini, a large language model that aims to compete with GPT-4, OpenAI’s most advanced model, won’t be ready until early next year.
Still, the focus for now will be on Gemini Pro, which Google claims beat GPT-3.5 in six out of eight industry-standard benchmarks. But we have no doubt that OpenAI and its customers will weigh in on that soon. (X, formerly known as Twitter, is probably the best place to see those kinds of immediate comparisons, but we’ll keep you posted.) Pro will be available through Google Cloud. The biggest Gemini model that’s due out next year is called Gemini Ultra.
