Google's answer to GPT-4 is Gemini: 'the most capable model we've ever built'

OpenAI's spot atop the generative AI heap may be coming to an end as Google officially introduced its most capable large language model to date on Wednesday, dubbed Gemini 1.0. It's the first of "a new generation of AI models, inspired by the way people understand and interact with the world," CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a Google blog post. "Ever since programming AI for computer games as a teenager, and throughout my years as a neuroscience researcher trying to understand the workings of the brain, I've always believed that if we could build smarter machines, we could harness them to benefit humanity in incredible ways," Pichai continued. The result of extensive collaboration between Google's DeepMind and Research divisions, Gemini has all the bells and whistles cutting-edge genAIs have to offer. "Its capabilities are state-of-the-art in nearly every domain," Pichai declared.
