Bard? Gemini? Gemini Advanced? Gemini Ultra? Ultra 1.0? I guess they haven't figured out naming yet. This has got to be the most confusing naming since the xbox series x.

It's not too confusing, I think it's mostly that they're in the process of changing the naming. - Bard: Retiring this name - Gemini: model name (honestly less confusing than just calling it "GPT") - Gemini Advanced: More capable gemini model - Gemini Ultra: Most capable gemini model - Gemini 1.0: They version their models together, gemini has hit 1.0 ad is (supposedly) ready for prime time

I think Gemini Advanced is not a model at all but the paid version of the Bard (now Gemini) website.

You say it's not confusing but you've got it wrong :)

Gemini is the name of the model and the service.

Gemini Advanced is the service with access to Gemini Ultra.

I heavily use Chat GPT's API in my day job, as it is the core of our business (Ai-powered startup). When Gemini Pro launched, me and my team tested it in the same day for our product, but we where disappointed as it is was a bit worse than gpt 3.5 (at least in the same prompts that we already had). I really hope that Gemini Ultra surpass gpt4, it is always exciting to see and use new advanced tech, but I'm still a li…

Be wary of any tech product named "Gemini", usually means they are self-acknowledging the need to play catch-up, a la the Gemini space program. I bet Google's next big AI release is going to be called "Apollo".

I'm sure there are multiple layers of meaning behind the name, but Jeff Dean once mentioned the name had something to do with the latin translation being twins. That is, Gemini is a product of Alphabet's "twin" AI orgs, Google Brain and DeepMind, working closely together, and eventually fusing into GDM.

Ultra Pro coming in q3

This makes sense. It’s clearly a binary naming scheme. So we go Pro, Ultra, Ultra Pro, Ultra Ultra, Ultra Pro Pro, Ultra Pro Ultra, Ultra Ultra Ultra, and so on.

I don’t understand why people find this so confusing. Are we not computer people?

That's a bummer. I just made this one up which GPT-4 failed and Gemini got right but definitely need to do more testing to see what's being taken from online and what is actual reasoning. https://i.imgur.com/3sNr3LW.png https://i.imgur.com/EIj0nZg.png Edit: When I did your prompt it got it right on the first try fwiwi https://i.imgur.com/E3zYEca.png

Nice one! Gemini got it wrong in my (one) test:

Don’t forget the Google One AI Premium subscription. There are very few superlatives left for them to use.

In the 20 minutes of experimentation, I'm really impressed with the quality of Bard Advanced (Gemini Ultra). The results are as good as GPT-4, and in some cases is better. So far: pros: - better at translation (tried Chinese and Japanese idioms to English) - better at incorporating search results in its answer vs gpt-4 bing cons: - slightly worse at coding - censorship is more annoying (have to ask multiple times abo…

I think that logic is the most important thing to look out for though.

I tested it immediately, but it is disappointing. At least here in Switzerland, it is not able to generate images, and a simple "look up this website and summarise the content" does not work either (can't access the website, but its a public website without any crawling limitations). I don't understand why Google is launching a product like this.

Now ...now...Are you implying Google faked all those amazing demos .... :-))

Some might argue that is what LLMs do.

From one of the earlier announcements Google has made: - Bard is that talkative text interface, a product. - Gemini is the LLM design that currently backs Bard (but also other Google AI products). - Gemini "Basic", Advanced and Ultra are different sizes of that design. This is conjecture, but "Ultra 1.0" probably indicates that they intend to release more models based on the Ultra configuration. Since that's the most…

Sounds like Bard is ChatGPT, and Gemini Ultra is GPT-4. Arguably clearer than OpenAI'S naming.
