Google just released the Gemini AI model. Currently, the Bard chatbot offers a variation of the model known as Gemini Pro. Additionally, Gemini may be used by anybody with a Pixel 8 Pro to enhance their AI-suggested text replies on Gboard in the future, as well as on WhatsApp right now.

There’s only so much of Gemini available right now. Multimodal capabilities—where a chatbot analyzes several input formats and generates outputs in various ways—are anticipated in future iterations. All that has been added to Bard is the text-based version.

Additionally, Gemini is only available in English, while Google intends to add support for additional languages shortly. Similar to earlier Google generative AI developments, Gemini is currently unavailable in the European Union.

Even though it has a fancy name, Bard’s Gemini Pro upgrade is available for free. The more latest AI model, GPT-4, requires a monthly subscription, however you can still use ChatGPT’s older versions for free. Future plans for Gemini are still largely unknown. Google hinted that the Gemini Ultra, a more advanced model, might debut in 2024 and be initially offered inside the Bard Advanced chatbot. Although a subscription plan has not yet been revealed, ChatGPT Plus with GPT-4 includes a $20 monthly membership fee.

How to Use Gemini Pro on Google
Have you had a Google account before? It’s easy to use Gemini inside of Bard; just open the website in your browser and log in. If you refuse to make an account, Google won’t let you access Bard. To test Gemini, users using Google Workspace accounts might need to switch to their personal email accounts.

Keep in mind that, at this point, everything is merely an experiment, and your chatbot’s responses may exhibit some technological issues. When it functions properly, Bard’s interaction with other Google services is one of its current strong points. For instance, you can ask the chatbot to summarize your daily communications by tagging @Gmail in your prompt or @YouTube to investigate subjects through videos. These connections have potential, as seen by our earlier tests of the Bard chatbot, but there are still a lot of bugs to iron out.

What distinguishes the upcoming Gemini Ultra from the Gemini Pro model that is presently on sale? Google describes Ultra as its “most capable mode,” able to manage intricate operations involving text, graphics, audio, video, and code. The AI model known as Gemini Nano is a scaled-down version that may be integrated into smartphone functions. It is now compatible with WhatsApp replies in the Pixel 8 Pro.
