Google officially launched its latest AI model, Gemini 1.0, a few days ago. According to Google, the testing results show that Gemini outperforms its competitors in terms of capabilities. They showcased various aspects of Gemini’s abilities in a video called “Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting with multimodal AI.” This video demonstrates Gemini’s capability to interact with various forms of data in order to showcase its effectiveness as a multimodal AI model.
One segment of the presentation highlights Gemini’s ability to accurately identify and describe a continuously drawn line as a picture of a duck. Additionally, Gemini can identify a rubber duck toy, provide details on its material, and even mention its ability to float. These are just a few examples of Gemini’s impressive capabilities, as shown in the video below.
Although the video portrays Gemini’s abilities in an impressive manner, Google clarifies that the video has been edited to enhance the speed and responsiveness of Gemini’s interactions. This may leave some wondering just how capable Gemini truly is.
Google explains the background behind the video, stating that all the interactions featured are genuine, but the still images used as input were extracted from the original footage. They were then combined with text prompts to help guide Gemini’s responses.
To address the question of how far Gemini’s capabilities extend, Oriol Vinyals, DeepMind’s Research Vice President and a developer of Gemini, elaborated further. He stated that the intention behind the video was to showcase how Gemini, as a multimodal data-driven model, can provide experiences to users. The hope is that it will inspire developers to create innovative tools.
TLDR: Google introduces its new AI model, Gemini 1.0, which demonstrates impressive capabilities in a video presentation. While the video is edited for better presentation, the interactions are genuine, showcasing Gemini’s ability to process multimodal data. The aim is to inspire developers to create new and creative tools.
