What is Gemini 1.0?

Large language models are computer programs trained on a vast amount of text, so they can generate, summarize, translate and analyze language. Gemini 1.0 is the first version of Google's Gemini family of AI models. Google describes it as trained to understand text, images, audio and more at the same time. The family comes in three sizes, Ultra, Pro and Nano, intended for uses ranging from complex reasoning tasks to on-device, memory-constrained settings. A paper from Google's Gemini Team describing the family was submitted to arXiv in December 2023.
