-: What is Google Gemini?
This is one of the more interesting models
and Google have really cooked with this,
I think over the past few years.
It's a transformer model, just like ChatGPT,
and that is like, the predominant architecture
that people are using for these models.
So you should expect similar type of performance
for a similar amount of training.
The model was created by Google
and they used to be called Bard,
but now been rebranded as Gemini.
Actually, I think is a better name.
The performance is quite similar to GPT 4.0
or to Anthropic Claude,
although I would say that Claude maybe has the edge.
Google is available through Chat
and it's also integrated into the search results
and AI Studio as well, which is their equivalent
of the open AI playground.
The different features are quite interesting
and I think the features are what makes Google
the surprisingly good option in some cases.
So the web browsing is first class.
As you would imagine, it's integrated with Google,
so you can get realtime information
and tends to perform a little bit better, I think,
than ChatGPT search.
It also has Canvas, which is something that ChatGPT has too,
but does a pretty good job of it
and you can click to export to Docs, which is quite useful.
And then there's also Voice,
so you can use the microphone, just so you can
with voice mode in ChatGPT.
I would say that the Voice in ChatGPT is better though.
You can upload documents and do document understanding.
One thing that's really great about Gemini is
that you can download a lot of documents into it.
It's, I think something like 1 million to 2 million tokens,
which is the entire book series of, "Harry Potter."
It's an enormous amount, you can also do videos as well.
It's great for SEO in particular.
You can ask it to search specific keywords
and then tell you what's similar about those various things
and then bring that back into your strategy
for ranking on those keywords
and for getting breaking news, it's also really useful.
You can get specific stories back with actual citations,
which is very helpful.
So yeah, check out Google and let me know if you enjoy it.
