Google’s new generation AI models under the Gemini project, slated for a possible fall launch, is expected to pose a strong challenge to the dominance enjoyed by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in the AI landscape.

A report by the technology outlet The Information revealed that Google’s Gemini is designed to power its existing AI chatbot Bard and enterprise applications like Google Docs and Slides. What sets Gemini apart is Google’s vast array of resources, particularly its diverse and exclusive data sources. With access to YouTube videos, Google Books, a massive search index, and scholarly content from Google Scholar, Google could potentially create more intelligent models than its rivals. Additionally, Gemini is reportedly the first multi-modal model capable of handling text, images, and videos, a feature GPT-4 lacks.

Google boasts a wealth of expertise and experience in building and training large language models. The upcoming announcement of Gemini’s new models is expected to impact Google Cloud significantly, with corporate clients likely accessing Gemini through this platform.

Gemini’s origins can be traced back to Google’s developer conference, where it was teased and demonstrated alongside other AI projects. The AI model employs innovative training techniques inspired by Alphago, an AI system that famously defeated a professional human player in the complex game of Go.

Google Brain, DeepMind combine to create ‘Gemini’

In April, Google merged Google Brain and DeepMind into a single unit named Google DeepMind, combining computational resources with research skills. Despite past rivalry, the two entities joined forces on Gemini, indicating potential trouble for OpenAI and other competitors.

Gemini’s design emphasises multimodal capabilities, enabling it to process various data forms efficiently. It not only excels in generating conversational text but also handles inputs like images and videos adeptly. Reports suggest that Gemini’s training dataset contains twice as many tokens as GPT-4’s, which could significantly enhance its intelligence.

ChatGPT has enjoyed a monopoly in the AI race due to its early release and the backup of Microsoft’s vast data centre infrastructure. As the launch of Gemini approaches, the AI landscape may witness a transformative shift, with Google emerging as a formidable challenger to OpenAI’s ChatGPT dominance.
