Google launches Gemini—a powerful AI model it says can surpass GPT-4
On Wednesday, Google announced Gemini, a multimodal AI model family it hopes will rival OpenAI's GPT-4, which powers the paid version of ChatGPT. Google claims that the largest version of Gemini exceeds "current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely used academic benchmarks used in large language model (LLM) research and development." It's a follow-up to PaLM 2, an earlier AI model that Google hoped would match GPT-4 in capability.
A specially tuned English version of its mid-level Gemini model is available now in over 170 countries as part of the Google Bard chatbot…
"Gemini 1.0’s sophisticated multimodal reasoning capabilities can help make sense of complex written and visual information," writes Google. "Its remarkable ability to extract insights from hundreds of thousands of documents through reading, filtering, and understanding information will help deliver new breakthroughs at digital speeds in many fields from science to finance."….
Gemini isn't Google's first attempt to catch up to OpenAI's ever-evolving GPT-4 model (which is now "GPT-4 Turbo"). The aforementioned PaLM 2, launched in May, was originally supposed to meet that goal. According to Google, Gemini Ultra does outperform GPT-4 on paper, but not everyone is impressed. As MIT Technology Review notes skeptically in its Gemini write-up, "Google DeepMind claims that Gemini outmatches GPT-4 on 30 out of 32 standard measures of performance. And yet the margins between them are thin... To judge from demos, it does many things very well—but few things that we haven’t seen before."….
For now, Google hopes that Gemini will be the opening salvo in a new chapter of the battle to control AI assistants in the future, opposing firms like Anthropic, Meta, and the in-tandem duo of Microsoft and OpenAI…..

Larry Summers Says OpenAI Technology ‘Extraordinarily Important’
Lawrence Summers, a new board member at artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, said that the startup’s work was “extraordinarily important”
OpenAI “has to be prepared to cooperate with key government officials on regulatory issues, on national security issues, on development of technology issues,” Summers said on Bloomberg Television’s Wall Street Week with David Westin on Friday.
Summers, a Harvard University President and Former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, also said that he stood by a statement he made earlier this year predicting that AI “is coming for the cognitive class,” and could replace some white-collar jobs.
