Today marks a significant leap in artificial intelligence with Google’s introduction of the Gemini AI model. This innovative model is now integrated into the Bard chatbot, offering users an advanced interactive experience. Demis Hassabis, the visionary behind Google DeepMind, describes Gemini as a trailblazer in AI technology, potentially transforming areas like robotics. Here’s a quick guide on how to use the Google’s Gemini Pro in Bard Chatbot.
Gemini Pro: A Sneak Peek into the Future
Available for free, the Gemini Pro version is a glimpse into the future of AI. This version, embedded within the Bard chatbot, is Google’s latest step in AI development. Although currently limited to English, plans for multilingual support are on the horizon. Notably, Gemini Pro is not yet accessible in the European Union, in line with Google’s rollout strategy for its AI updates.
Subscription Models: Google vs. ChatGPT
While Gemini Pro is free, it’s worth noting how this contrasts with ChatGPT. With ChatGPT, users access older models at no cost but require a subscription for the latest GPT-4 model. Google teases its upcoming Gemini Ultra, expected in 2024, hinting at even more advanced capabilities. Whether this will introduce a subscription model, similar to ChatGPT’s $20 monthly fee for its Plus service, remains to be seen.
How to Experience Gemini Pro
Accessing Gemini Pro is straightforward for those with a Google account. Simply log into Bard via a browser, and you’re in. However, a Google account is a must for this experience. Users with Google Workspace accounts might need to switch to personal accounts for access. Keep in mind, as an experimental phase, expect some quirks and bugs during interactions.
Exploring Bard’s Integrations
Bard’s unique strength lies in its integration with Google services. You can, for instance, tag @Gmail in your prompts to get a summary of your emails or use @YouTube to delve into video-based topics. These features, still in refinement, show significant promise for streamlined digital interactions.
Gemini Ultra vs. Gemini Pro
While the current focus is on Gemini Pro, Gemini Ultra looms on the horizon as Google’s “most capable mode.” This version aims to handle complex tasks across various formats, including text, images, audio, video, and even code. For smartphone users, the Gemini Nano, a scaled-down version, is already available in the Pixel 8 Pro for WhatsApp responses.
Navigating the World of Gemini Pro
