Gemini Pro, Google’s latest launch, extends the availability of Gemini to organizations worldwide
Google has introduced its largest language model, Gemini AI, surpassing PaLM-2. Today, December 13, the company has launched Gemini Pro, making it accessible to businesses worldwide. This enterprise-focused AI system enables developers to create applications using Google’s latest model. Gemini is a powerful AI system trained on extensive data, capable of generating various content formats such as text, images, videos, and audio.
Announcing Gemini Pro, Google said in a blog post: “Today, we’re introducing several important new features to our AI stack to support Gemini, our most powerful and general model to date. It was built from the ground up to be multimodal, meaning it can generalize and seamlessly understand, operate on, and combine different types of data, including text, code, sound, image and video, in the same way that people see, hear, read, listen and talk about many different types of information at the same time”.
Google releases Gemini Pro for organizations
Google Cloud customers can use Gemini to create applications such as AI-powered chatbots, easily query inventory databases, and marketing presentations. The company also emphasized that Gemini Pro will be free at launch for cloud customers with certain limitations. Finally, Google said it plans to ensure its cloud AI offering is “competitively priced.” The company said Gemini Pro’s text-based capabilities are four times cheaper to input and two times cheaper to output than the latest iteration of its AI model, PaLM 2, released in June.
The AI model is built to “generalize and seamlessly understand, act on, and connect different types of data, including text, code, audio, images, and video, in the same way that humans see, hear, read, listen, and speak different types of data simultaneously,” Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said .
Google said Gemini Pro supports 38 languages in 180 countries worldwide and currently accepts text as input and generates text as output. Google is also releasing its own Gemini Pro Vision platform, which can handle text and image-based prompts from users.
Gemini Ultra, the company’s largest and most powerful model for “highly complex” tasks, is available to select cloud customers and partners for an early trial before being released to the general public next year, the company said.
