Until recently, OpenAI dominated the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots, with its GPT-4 large language model (LLM) powering Microsoft's ChatGPT and Copilot. OpenAI's early leadership kept others playing catch-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, OpenAI now faces a new challenger: Google Gemini<\/a>. Launching in February 2024, following its announcement in late 2023, Gemini quickly made significant waves in the AI landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But will it be enough to overcome GPT-4? What capabilities does Gemini have now and what can we expect in the future? And how can you start using this tool? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We explored Gemini in depth to answer these questions and more. If you're curious about Google's latest AI, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Google Gemini?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gemini is Google's latest large language model (LLM). An LLM is a system that supports various AI tools<\/a> that you've probably found online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, GPT-4 powers ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI's advanced paid chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being more than just an AI model; it has also taken on the new identity of the chatbot Bard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, Bard was completely replaced by Gemini, unifying the underlying model and the chatbot under one name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has also released a free Android app that can replace Google Assistant on your phone. On iOS, this tool appears in the Google app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Google has rebranded its Duet AI service for businesses as Gemini for Workspace, offering a suite of productivity-related features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a subscription service, Gemini Advanced, powered by a more robust LLM called Gemini Ultra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, all of Google's AI properties are now unified under the Gemini umbrella, simplifying access, whether for consumers or businesses, via web, smartphone assistant or app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does Gemini AI do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In short: a lot. It covers a wide range of AI capabilities delivered across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google describes Gemini as a multimodal tool, capable of handling multiple forms of input and output, including text, code, audio, images and videos. This versatility allows you to perform a wide range of tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has implemented two separate LLMs: Gemini 1.0 Pro, which powers the free version, and 1.0 Ultra, which powers the Advanced subscription service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the free Pro version is simpler and less creative, the paid Ultra offers deeper, more accurate answers and management of complex tasks like coding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Pro can answer simple questions, summarize text, and create images. It integrates with other Google services, such as Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, asking for sightseeing recommendations will yield results on Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app on Android can replace Google Assistant, handling queries and integrating with other Google services. However, Gemini has its limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be slower than Google Assistant and still has bugs, such as inconsistent interaction with photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these issues, Google is rapidly improving functionality on mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini Ultra, the subscription model, offers advanced features including handling queries in multiple stages and providing more accurate and organized responses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will soon be integrated into Google Docs, Gmail, and other productivity apps for advanced subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Google is already working on its next-generation model, Gemini 1.5, which will improve both LLMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early tests of the Pro version show dramatic improvements, such as extracting comical moments from a 400-page Apollo 11 transcript in just 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When was it released?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google Gemini was launched on February 8, 2024, replacing Bard. It was immediately available in free and paid versions, with the Android app launching in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOS app is now available on the Google app, albeit in a more limited form compared to Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Google Gemini free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Google's standard version is free, but it's more limited than the paid version, Gemini Advanced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subscription costs R$96.99 per month, with a two-month free trial available. This subscription is part of the Google One AI Premium plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes 2 TB of cloud storage and other benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, given that Google One with 2TB storage already costs R$38.99 per month, the Advanced subscription offers substantial value for those who need cloud storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I use it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using Google Gemini depends on the version and product it is integrated with. You can use AI directly on the official website or through the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app is available on your Android phone, where it can replace Google Assistant. On iOS, it works on the Google app. Additionally, you can subscribe to Gemini Advanced for a more powerful AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
