There's a huge amount of criticism for Sundar on Hacker News (seemingly from Googlers, ex-Googlers, and non-Googlers), but I give huge credit for Google's "code red" response to ChatGPT. I count at least 19 blog posts and YouTube videos from Google relating to the Gemini update today. While Google hasn't defeated (whatever that would mean) OpenAI yet, the way that every team/product has responded to improve, publicize, and utilize AI in the past year has been very impressive.

#72Do we know on what type of hardware was it trained? Google's own or Nvidia?

#73There'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".
Killing ad free internet is good for google shareholders. That’s the “everyone” they’re talking about in case it wasn’t clear.

#74I wonder how long “Gemini” will stay active before it’s 86’d to Google Graveyard

It's probably just an unfortunate coincidence. After all, Gemini is a zodiac sign first and foremost, you'd have to specify what exactly you want anyway.

#76What's the difference between Bard and Gemini? One is text and the other is multi-modal?
Re: Gemini AI
#77Feels more like an Apple post "the best fastest blabla-est". How about making it available to try without the fluff?
I'm not a marketer but it's hard to see what the point of these glossy press releases without a call to action is.
If I could have tried it today, I would have dropped everything and tried it. Now I will forget about it for a while and try it whenever I hear through osmosis that it's available. To the extent that I am excited and/or interested, the snooze button is pressed.
Maybe that's the desired outcome?

#78What's the difference between Bard and Gemini? One is text and the other is multi-modal?
Yes, and presumably: more data, more compute, better pre-training and post-training methods, leading to better capabilities.

#79The performance results here are interesting. G-Ultra seems to meet or exceed GPT4V on all text benchmark tasks with the exception of Hellaswag where there's a significant lag, 87.8% vs 95.3%, respectively.
I wonder how that weird HellaSwag lag is possible. Is there something really special about that benchmark?

Maybe they shouldn't have chosen such a common word if they didn't want to be confused with something else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini
