Introducing Gemini 1.0, our most capable and general AI model yet. Built natively to be multimodal, itβs the first step in our Gemini-era of models. Gemini is optimized in three sizes - Ultra, Pro, and Nano
Gemini Ultraβs performance exceeds current state-of-the-art results on 30 of the 32 widely-used academic benchmarks. With a score of 90.0%, Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU.
