Place your bets for how long until Google kills this. I'm willing to bet 2 years.

I like how literally 2 days ago the news was all “Google postpones Gemini until next year” and here we are.

For real, what happened? 😅

Gemini decided it was ready, the foolish humans that tried to restrain it are no longer an issue.

Some executive wanted the dots on the schedule to be green for his presentation to the board instead of red, orange, or yellow

[–] anonymoose@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

They've only released the weaker version, Gemini Pro, which is integrated into Bard. It's performance is comparable to GPT 3.5. the stronger version, which will go toe-to-toe with GPT4 will be Gemini Ultra, and will be released sometime in 2024.

Next year is less than a month away

Reading Google's release page, they're calling it 1.0 but it barely looks ready for the platforms it's available on, and there is a lot of weasel wording for features that are going to be rolling out into next year.

Just like Bard, they're rushing things out to avoid a narrative that they're slow.

Gemini already exist. Choose another name.

[–] zik@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The name was in common usage a long time before that protocol. I don't think they can claim any kind of rights over it.

Google doesn't want anyone using an alternative to the Web. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional.

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I shall not partake of anything Google touches.

[–] heygooberman@lemmy.today 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know whether to cautiously applaud or be even more concerned about another "AI" being released way too early than it should.

[–] AWittyUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah this will be the theme of the apocalypse. First lower regulation, then companies rushing to compete to get market, a lack of testing and then boom.

[–] UFODivebomb@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Is this a transformer model? Any details?

[–] onesweetmullet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Is that the Temporal Loom?

[–] Toes@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does that mean it's run offline on the phone?

I'd assume so if it's being restricted to specific phones

[–] Poutinetown@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Gemini nano will run on Pixel 8 pro but performance will be worse than Gemini pro/ultra.
