Google just revealed Gemini and will directly integrate the AI into Google apps.

The GPT-4 competitor comes in 3 models — Ultra, Pro, and Nano.

Here's a thread of EVERYTHING you need to know:

Gemini is multimodal and can recognize images and speak in real-time.

With a score of 90%, Gemini Ultra is the FIRST AI model to outperform human experts on the MMLU benchmark.

This demo is incredible.

Gemini has next-generation capabilities such as sophisticated reasoning, multimodality, and advanced coding.

The model is also advanced in math and coding, as compared to ChatGPT (GPT-4), which cannot perform math.

Check out this demo of them solving physics.

Gemini has an incredible understanding of science.

It can find and extract research across 1000's of research papers.

Because Gemini is multimodal, it can not only understand text but also graphs through images!

Gemini comes in three sizes — Ultra for complex tasks, Pro for scaling across a range of tasks, and Nano for efficient on-device tasks.

-Pro will be in Google products through Bard starting today.
-Ultra will be rolling out early next year.
-Nano will be available on Pixel.

Gemini Ultra’s performance beats current state-of-the-art results in 30 of 32 benchmarks used in LLM research & development.

Gemini Pro will be available for free in Bard and across Google apps today.

In six out of eight benchmarks, Gemini Pro outperformed GPT-3.5, making it 'the most powerful free chatbot on the market today'.

Gemini Nano now powers on-device generative AI features for Pixel 8 Pro.

New features include:
-Summarize in Recorder
-Smart Reply in Gboard
-Cutting-edge video
-Enhanced photography and image editing

I shared all the info on Gemini in my newsletter this morning.

NEWS: DeepSeek just dropped ANOTHER open-source AI model, Janus-Pro-7B.

It's multimodal (can generate images) and beats OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion across GenEval and DPG-Bench benchmarks.

This comes on top of all the R1 hype. The 🐋 is cookin'

Link: huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/Ja…

For those wondering my quick take on what's happening right now with R1 and Janus

1. GPU demand will not go down
2. OpenAI is not done for, but Open source and China are showing they're far closer than anticipated
3. There's way too much misinfo being spread by mainstream media right now (almost seems on purpose?)
4. DeepSeek open-sourcing R1 is still a huge gift to developers and overall AI progress

I haven't seen this much confusion and uncertainty on my TL for ages...

I got early access to ChatGPT Operator.

It's OpenAI's new AI agent that autonomously takes action across the web on your behalf.

The 9 most impressive use cases I’ve tried (videos sped up):

1. Ordering dinner ingredients based on a picture and a recipe

2. Planning a weekend trip based on hidden gems off Reddit, my budget and interests

Notice how at 0:06, ChatGPT Operator was blocked from Reddit but then decided to just do a Bing search with "Reddit" at the end

Very impressive decision-making

3. Crypto investment research based on tokens that are actually worth looking into

Notice how ChatGPT Operator got hit with a "Are you human" CAPTCHA, then pinged me to take control to confirm

Wild workaround

Google just released Veo 2, a new state-of-the-art AI video model.

In testing, Veo beat OpenAI Sora in BOTH quality and prompt adherence.

The video compilation below is 100% created by AI (more details in thread):

Veo can generate 8 second videos in up to 4K resolution (720p at launch).

The model also features:

— Better understanding of physics for more natural movement, lighting, etc.
— Enhanced clarity and sharpness of outputs
— Reduced hallucinated objects and details

The model also excels at a variety of cinematic styles, with better camera control for more creative storytelling.

An animation example:

I've been an early tester + had in-person demos for most of Google’s AI projects announced today.

I found several practical use cases that will benefit everyday people.

12 use cases of Project Astra/Deep Research Agents/Project Mariner (beyond the hype):

Project Astra: Google's AI agent that can 'see the world' using your phone camera

Use cases that stood out to me:

> Summarizing a book page in seconds and chatting with it for follow-ups on complex topics (professor-in-your-pocket)
> Identifying a rash: just seasonal hives or something more serious?
> Real-time translation of languages, sign language, and books (worked great for Japanese writing → English summary).
> Locating landscapes in photos and estimating their distance using the Google Maps integration.
> Remembering cookbook recipes and recommending wine pairings based on the recipe and budget.
> Summarizing thousands of Amazon/Airbnb reviews in seconds using mobile screen sharing, with highlights of any negative feedback.

Deep Research Agent: Google’s new research assistant that create's full reports on any topic and links back to the relevant sources.

Use cases that stood out to me:

> Coming up with interview questions based on what people are curious about across the internet.
> Conducting market research on stocks (e.g., "Why did Google stock go up today?").
> Creating a full Christmas gift plan for my mom (based on current trends and her preferences highlighted in the prompt)
> Creating an analysis and report of my health/fitness and how I can improve based on my Whoop data.
