This is very cool and I am excited to try it out!

But, according to the metrics, it barely edges out GPT-4 -- this mostly makes me _more_ impressed with GPT-4 which:

- came out 9 months ago AND

- had no direct competition to beat (you know Google wasn't going to release Gemini until it beat GPT-4)

Looking forward to trying this out and then seeing OpenAI's answer

Gemini Nano sounds like the most exciting part IMO.

IIRC Several people in the recent Pixel 8 thread were saying that offloading to web APIs for functions like Magic Eraser was only temporary and could be replaced by on-device models at some point. Looks like this is the beginning of that.

> Starting on December 13, developers and enterprise customers can access Gemini Pro via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI. Excited to give this a spin. There will be rough edges, yes, but it's always exciting to have new toys that do better (or worse) in various ways.

OpenAI did well to let anyone try it with a login on a website.

So it's basically just GPT-4, according to the benchmarks, with a slight edge for multimodal tasks (ie audio, video). Google does seem to be quite far behind, GPT-4 launched almost a year ago.

GPT-4 launched a little less than 9 months ago.

The improvement over ChatGPT are counted in (very) few percents. Does it mean they have entered a diminishing returns phase or is it that each percent is much harder to get compared to the previous ones ?

isn't that the definition of diminishing returns? just asking - that's how I always interpreted that phrase...

Wouldn't 95% vs 90% mean 2x better, not 5% better?
