There's some dissonance in the the way this will swamp out searches for the web-alternative Gemini protocol by the biggest tech company in the world proudly boasting how responsible and careful they are being to improving things "for everyone, everywhere in the world".

Re: Gemini AI
#52I've missed this on my initial skim:
The one launching next week is Gemini Pro.
The one in the benchmarks is Gemini Ultra which is "coming soon".
Still, exciting times, can't wait to get my hands on it!
Re: Gemini AI
#53Is it open source?
Re: Gemini AI
#54I’m most curious about the efficiency of the model in terms of computer needed per query.
Re: Gemini AI
#55Exciting to see more progress and options in this space. My personal opinion is that more competition in this space is better than one single player capturing the entire market.
Re: Gemini AI
#56But can it DM a DnD game?
This demo video makes it seem like it would have a decent shot
Re: Gemini AI
#57Is it live already at bard.google.com? Just tried it and still useless compared to GPT 3.5.
Re: Gemini AI
#58So, 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.
Re: Gemini AI
#59> For Gemini Ultra, we’re currently completing extensive trust and safety checks, including red-teaming by trusted external parties, and further refining the model using fine-tuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) before making it broadly available. > As part of this process, we’ll make Gemini Ultra available to select customers, developers, partners and safety and responsibility experts for ear…
Heh, I read that and had the opposite conclusion.
When I was reading the benchmarks and seeing how Gemini Ultra was outperforming GPT-4 I thought, "Finally, some competition for GPT4"!
But when I got to that part, that's when I realized that it could potentially be caught in release hell and not actually see the light of day or significant use. Google, for better or worse, has more of a brand reputation to maintain and is more risk averse, so even if Gemini Ultra can, in theory, outperform GPT4, users might not get a chance to access it for a while.

#60One observation: Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly, like it's trying too hard to emphasize how long they've been doing AI (which is a weird look when the currently publicly available SOTA model is made by OpenAI, not Google). A better look would simply be to show instead of tell.
In contrast to the main video, this video that is further down the page is really impressive and really does show - the 'which cup is the ball in is particularly cool': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIZAiXYceBI.
Other key info: "Integrate Gemini models into your applications with Google AI Studio and Google Cloud Vertex AI. Available December 13th." (Unclear if all 3 models are available then, hopefully they are, and hopefully it's more like OpenAI with many people getting access, rather than Claude's API with few customers getting access)
