Google’s so far underwhelming offering to the GAI space received a massive boost with the release of Gemini, a multi-modal LLM illustrated with a jaw dropping
intro video, which seemed to demonstrate the AI’s ability to seamlessly move between input modes, whilst being prompted with voice commands. Of course, none of it was
really real, and the ongoing backlash on the video maybe turning a PR triumph into disaster. However, more detail on how it works from
DeepMind and
Google Developers blog suggest something significant. Google have also thought about the money as well - Gemini will be available in Ultra, Pro and Nano tiers - the future revenue model of the AI enabled internet looks pretty much set.
