Gemini is a family of multimodal large language models (LLMs) developed by Google DeepMind and is the successor to Google's previous LLMs like LaMDA and PaLM 2. It can process multiple types of data simultaneously, including text, images, audio, video, and computer code. Gemini powers Google's generative AI chatbot also named Gemini, which launched in early 2024 as the evolution of Bard. It is integrated into various Google products such as Pixel phones, Google Workspace, and Google Maps, helping users with tasks like writing, coding, planning, and information search. The Gemini models come in several sizes including Gemini Ultra for highly complex tasks, Gemini Pro for a broad range of tasks, and Gemini Nano optimized for on-device efficiency. The technology behind Gemini is based on advanced neural network architectures like transformers, and it represents Google DeepMind's cutting-edge research in AI, aiming to be a versatile, powerful, and multimodal AI assistant for productivity, creativity, and learning.
