Google Gemini: Everything you need to know about the new generative AI platform

Google has launched Gemini, a suite of generative AI models developed by DeepMind and Google Research, featuring three versions: Gemini Ultra, Pro, and Nano. These models are multimodal, trained on diverse data types beyond text, setting them apart from previous models like LaMDA. Gemini Ultra, the most advanced, is accessible through a subscription, while Gemini Pro offers enhanced reasoning capabilities and Gemini Nano operates directly on mobile devices.

Gemini's capabilities include transcribing speech, captioning multimedia, and generating artwork, though not all features are fully productized yet. Despite potential, there have been criticisms about Gemini's early versions for inaccuracies and limitations. The platform is available in various Google environments, with different pricing models, and Gemini Nano is already integrated into some mobile devices, with potential future expansion to other platforms including iOS.
