Google Expands Gemini Pro to Challenge OpenAI’s ChatGPT
Google is taking on OpenAI’s ChatGPT with the expansion of its Gemini AI to enterprises and developers. The move aims to compete with OpenAI in multiple markets and offers a version of Gemini that can be integrated into their own applications. While currently free to use within certain limits, Google plans to introduce competitive pricing once its pay-as-you-go option becomes available. Google claims that its Gemini Pro model outperforms similarly sized models based on research benchmarks and supports 38 languages across over 180 countries and territories worldwide.
To facilitate the development of the AI model, Google has introduced the Google AI Studio, which allows users to develop prompts and obtain an API key for Gemini. This feature also supports the creation of the AI model. However, Google stated that trained reviewers may have access to the API and Google AI Studio input and output, albeit in a de-identified form, in order to improve product quality.
Gemini is also accessible through Google’s Vertex AI platform, which enables companies to fine-tune the AI model using their own data.
For now, developers and enterprises can use Gemini Pro with up to 60 requests per minute at no cost until early next year when general availability begins. Following this, there will be a charge per 1,000 characters or per image across Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
Google has plans to further enhance its AI offerings, with the upcoming launch of Gemini Ultra, the most capable model designed for highly complex tasks. Additionally, Gemini will be integrated into more developer platforms like Chrome and Firebase.
Gemini was unveiled as Google’s most advanced generative AI model earlier this month and has already been integrated into other products and services such as Bard and Pixel 8 Pro. Its entry into the enterprise and developer market poses a fresh challenge to ChatGPT, OpenAI’s flagship product. ChatGPT was made available to enterprise customers in August, while developers gained the ability to create customized ChatGPT chatbots just last month.
