Welcome, Google Gemini! A potent competitor to ChatGPT-4

Google has introduced its cutting-edge AI model, Gemini, marking a formidable entry into the competitive landscape of artificial intelligence. Gemini stands out for its human-like behavior, surpassing its counterparts in tasks such as understanding, summarizing, reasoning, coding, and planning. The model is available in three versions: Pro, Ultra, and Nano, with the pro version already accessible, while the Ultra version is scheduled for an early release in 2024.

Gemini’s integration into Google’s chatbot Bard positions it as a direct competitor to ChatGPT.
