🤖 Google Gemini in detail
The AI world has flourished in recent years. In addition to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Grok, Google has also launched its own flagship AI, Gemini . Originally named Bard , this AI was later fully upgraded and renamed to become Google's core AI brand. This article provides a detailed breakdown of Gemini's background, features, versions, uses, and market positioning .
🌟 Background and Development Company
- Developer : Google DeepMind (Google's AI research division)
- Predecessor : Google Bard (launched in 2023), officially renamed Gemini in 2024
- Concept : Create a "multimodal" AI that can not only recognize text, but also understand images, code, and even sound.
- Integrated ecosystem : Deeply integrated into Google products, including Gmail, Docs, Drive, YouTube, and Android phones
👉Editor 's perspective : In other words, Gemini isn't just a chat AI, but rather the "AI brain" that Google wants to use to connect all its services.
🌟 Gemini Main Features
📝 1. Multimodal capabilities
- In addition to processing text, it can also understand images, videos, sounds, and code.
- Users can upload a picture and then ask a question directly (e.g. “How many people are in this picture?”)
- Support video summary and data interpretation
👉Editor 's perspective : It is comparable to ChatGPT and GPT-4o, both of which are masters of "multimodality".
⚡ 2. Deep integration with Google ecosystem
- Gmail : Automatically organize your emails and write replies
- Docs : Helps you draft articles and summarize key points
- Sheets : Convert natural language into formulas
- YouTube : Ask directly about the content of the video, and Gemini will help you summarize it
- Android : Exclusive Gemini App, allowing users to interact with the app via voice or text at any time
👉Editor 's perspective : Hong Kong people use Gmail and YouTube every day. Gemini is like putting AI directly into your daily tools.
🧠 3. Strong reasoning and programming skills
- Good at mathematics and logical reasoning
- Strong understanding of code, able to debug and generate code
- Google specifically emphasized that Gemini's "reasoning ability" is significantly improved compared to the old version of Bard.
👉Editor 's perspective : This app is suitable for students, IT professionals, and researchers, as it excels at analyzing data and explaining complex problems.
🔒 4. Safety and Responsibility
- Google has set up multiple security filters to prevent the output of sensitive content
- Supports multiple languages, including Traditional Chinese
- Provide source links to facilitate user verification of answers
👉Editor 's perspective : Compared to Grok's "venomous and funny" style, Gemini's positioning is more stable and suitable for work and study.
🌟 Gemini version
Google launches different versions based on demand:
- Gemini Nano : A lightweight version designed for mobile phones and other terminal devices (such as Pixel phones)
- Gemini Pro : General version, supports most of Google's AI functions
- Gemini Ultra : The most powerful version, used for research and professional applications (gradually available starting in 2024)
👉Editor 's perspective : Nano = mobile phone assistant, Pro = daily work and study, Ultra = professional scientific research level.
