"Gemini is our largest and most capable model, it means that Gemini can understand the world around us in the way that we do and absorb any type of input and output, so not just text like most models, but also code, audio, image, and video. What's amazing about Gemini is that it's so good at so many things. For example, each of the 50 different subject areas that we tested on, it's as good as the best expert humans in those areas."
This is the great claim of Demis Hassabis, the CEO of DeepMind, Google, who promises the emergence of the largest and strangest artificial intelligence named Gemini by Google. We'll talk more about Gemini's technical features shortly after its original public release, but in this post, we're going to explore the amazing power of this artificial intelligence.
Here you can see our other posts about AI world:
Where did the name "Gemini" come from?
The word “Gemini” (♊︎) is the third astrological sign in the zodiac. In some Greek and Roman myths, these two figures are described as two young men, Pollux, who is immortal, alternates his heavenly position with his brother Castor, and Zeus, in response to the great love and affection of these two brothers, puts them together in the sky. The image of this constellation in the form of two boys or two young men or two horse riders side by side is engraved on the coins of ancient Greece and Rome. The Greeks knew this constellation by the name Didymoi, which means twins, which later entered the Latin language as Gemini.
Although it is merely a hypothesis, maybe we could say that these two brothers represent Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence and that AI will gradually replace human intelligence in many domains.
On the other hand, the first letter G of Gemini and its similarity with the letter G in the Google brand may have influenced the selection of this name.
What is the Gemini's innovation?
You've probably explored the AI world, trying out tools that talk or turn text into pictures, maybe finding ones that do a bunch of things.
But Gemini's trump card is its multimodality. But What does multimodal mean?!
The term multimodal refers to artificial intelligence systems that can understand and process different data types such as text, image, audio, video, and numerical data. As a result of the integration of all these data, the increase in accuracy and deeper recognition and simultaneous understanding of content and context in such artificial intelligence is noticeable.
In this way, you put an image in front of the AI and explain your prompt to that in text or voice, then Gemini will analyze the image and answer your question about it. This feature is not limited to images and even understands audio and video and integrates all this information to provide intelligent and realistic conclusions. This is why the CEO of DeepMind's assertion about the program's performance is no different from that of any other expert.
Gemini versions
Gemini Nano
For the first time, Google mentioned Gemini artificial intelligence at the 2023 developer event. Its initial version, called Gemini Nano, can also be run offline on Android devices. This version uses the capabilities of Google's artificial intelligence service in Bard Chatbot to respond to users' needs in a textual form and a conversational format. Gemini Nano can currently only provide text input and output.
You can ask Google Bard “Are you powered by Gemini right now?”, and then wait for the answer.

Gemini Pro
The second service, Gemini Pro, is more powerful and intended for Android devices, including Pixel 8 Pro phones. According to Google, this version can summarize the messages recorded on the mobile device, and as a result of their analysis, it can provide automatic responses.
Gemini Ultra
Its most powerful version, Gemini Ultra, is the largest language model ever made but is still under development, and Google has not announced a specific release date. Any kind of data, including text, images, videos, audio, and code, can be integrated in this version. It seems that this version is designed for data centers and enterprise applications.
Unveiling the Gemini Surprise!
As we said, Gemini's answers are not limited to text and can provide visual or auditory responses. What else do you want from an artificial intelligence to be like a human?
Gemini's abilities will surprise you so much that you won't believe you're speaking with a robot. Watching this film, which showcases artificial intelligence's capabilities, can help you better appreciate Gemini's power:
