'Its remarkable ability to extract insights from hundreds of thousands of documents through reading, filtering, and understanding information will help deliver new breakthroughs at digital speeds in many fields from science to finance.' 'Gemini 1.0’s sophisticated multimodal reasoning capabilities can help make sense of complex written and visual information,' writes Google. Google says this will power a new era in computing, and it hopes to tightly integrate the technology into its products. The goal is to make a type of artificial intelligence that can accurately solve problems, give advice, and answer questions in various fields-from the mundane to the scientific. That means it can process text, code, images, and even audio. Like GPT-4, Gemini can handle multiple types (or 'modes') of input, making it multimodal.
