Google Gemini, What's the Different?
Bard has transformed into Gemini, marking a major update to Google's smart assistant AI, What's the different?

The Gemini unveiling brought us three exciting versions: Nano for efficiency, the free-to-use Pro (an addition to Bard), and the intriguing Ultra, which, according to their paper, might give GPT-4 some competition. The best part? We can try Ultra for free right now! So, where can we harness its power, and what wonders can it perform? Let's explore together.
For Android users, the Gemini journey begins by opting in through Google Assistant or downloading the Gemini app. iPhone users, fear not – it's on its way to the Google app in the coming weeks. Alternatively, visit gemini.google.com and experience it from the web. The regular Gemini, still smart and free, coexists with the paid subscription-based Gemini Ultra (called Gemini Advanced), offering a free trial for two months and a bonus 2TB storage.
Google's integration advantage shines here. Gemini can work seamlessly with your Gmail, summarize messages, compose emails, access Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, assist in coding, evaluate ideas, and more. It's essentially your pocket-sized smart assistant, available almost everywhere, all day.
Initial tests reveal Gemini's ability to estimate calorie counts from lunchbox labels and much more. Notably, it can fact-check statements from other sources automatically, adding a nice touch. Plus, it can create beautiful images, joining the competition with OpenAI's DALL-E 3.
The integration with Google Assistant makes Gemini even smarter, improving context understanding from previous messages – a common struggle for major assistants nowadays.
Gemini is deployed globally, understanding 40+ languages, and Gemini Advanced is available in 150 countries, currently supporting English.
Now, the exciting part – we can run experiments! With benchmarks showing Ultra's prowess in tasks like coding and reasoning, we can now put it to the test ourselves. The competition against OpenAI is heating up, creating opportunities for users.
As we eagerly await comprehensive tests on Gemini Advanced, it seems GPT-4 remains the smartest AI assistant for now, while Gemini holds the advantage within Google's ecosystem.
