Interesting that they're announcing Ultra many months in advance of the actual public release. Isn't that just giving OpenAI a timeline for when they need to release GPT5? Google aren't going to gain much market share from a model competitive with GPT4 if GPT5 is already available.

If they didn't announce it now, then they couldn't use the Ultra numberes in the marketing -- There's no mention on the performance of Pro - likely it is lagging far beind GPT4.

Feels more like an Apple post "the best fastest blabla-est". How about making it available to try without the fluff?

They have even adopted some of the Apple nomenclature "Ultra", "Pro" and "Nano"

it's really amazing how in IT we always recycle the same ten names... in the last three years, "gemini" refers (at least) to: - gemini protocol, the smolnet companion (gemini://geminiprotocol.net/ - https://geminiprotocol.net/ ) - gemini somethingcoin somethingcrypto (I will never link it) - gemini google's ML/AI (here we are)

Naming things is one of the two hardest problems in computer science, after all.

Caching and off-by one errors are the other.

They've reported surpassing GPT4 on several benchmarks. Does anyone know of these are hand picked examples or is this the new SOTA?

It will be SOTA maybe when Gemini Ultra is available. GPT-4 is still SOTA.

will it have the same kind of censorship as the GPT4-vision ? because it's a little too trigger happy from my tests.

So, better than GPT4 according to the benchmarks? Looks very interesting. Technical paper: https://goo.gle/GeminiPaper Some details: - 32k context length - efficient attention mechanisms (for e.g. multi-query attention (Shazeer, 2019)) - audio input via Universal Speech Model (USM) (Zhang et al., 2023) features - no audio output? (Figure 2) - visual encoding of Gemini models is inspired by our own foundational work o…

That's for Ultra right? Which is an amazing accomplishment, but it sounds like I won't be able to access it for months. If I'm lucky.

Yep, the announcement is quite cheeky.

Ultra is out sometime next year, with GPT-4 level capability.

Pro is out now (?) with ??? level capability.
