On the evening of February 8th, Beijing time, Google announced that it had entered a new chapter in the Gemini era, and the first thing it did was officially rename its large language model chatbot Bard to Gemini. At the same time, an app named Gemini was also launched on Android and Apple simultaneously.
Gemini is also a general term for the series of big language models launched by Google, among which Gemini Ultra is considered a big model launched by Google to compete with GPT4. Google has stated that it is currently releasing this version of the big model to the public, charging $19.99 per month, which is $0.01 lower than the subscription fee ($20 per month) for ChatGPTPlus that connects to GPT4.
Google stated in a video demonstration that Android users can use Gemini to replace the original Google Assistant and become the new default language assistant for their phones. It can help users perform tasks such as adding text explanations to images, programming, etc.
