In a recent proclamation on The Keyword, Google touts its Gemini Ultra as a model that outshines the industry stalwart GPT-4 across multiple benchmarks. The claim extends to Gemini Ultra’s groundbreaking 90.0% score on the MMLU benchmark, a complex test spanning 57 subjects where it purportedly surpasses human-level performance. The imminent release of Gemini Ultra, scheduled for January 2024, adds an element of anticipation and skepticism to the AI landscape.

Despite these assertions on benchmarks, the core question lingers: how well does Gemini Ultra perform in real-world tasks? The practical application of AI models often reveals more nuanced insights than benchmark scores alone. Google asserts that Gemini Ultra possesses the capability to understand, explain, and generate high-quality code in popular programming languages such as Go, JavaScript, Python, Java, and C++. These claims, while impressive on paper, raise questions about the model’s adaptability and real-world utility.

To put Google’s claims to the test, a comparative analysis was conducted between Gemini Pro and ChatGPT on Google’s Bard chatbot. Gemini Pro is currently accessible, providing an opportunity to evaluate its capabilities ahead of the more anticipated Gemini Ultra release. Initial tests encompassed diverse tasks ranging from mathematics problem-solving to creative writing, code generation, and processing image inputs.

The evaluation began with a seemingly straightforward math question: -1 x -1 x -1. Both ChatGPT and Bard with Gemini Pro faced challenges, requiring multiple attempts to arrive at the correct answer. This initial hurdle raises questions about the models’ proficiency in basic mathematical problem-solving.

Moving on to creative writing, Gemini Pro was tasked with creating a poem about Tesla, the electric vehicle brand. The result showcased marginal improvements from previous tests but remained open to subjective interpretation. A subsequent comparison with ChatGPT’s rendition from its GPT-3.5 variant hinted at potential variations in creative outputs, emphasizing the subjectivity inherent in assessing such capabilities.

While the creative writing aspect showed nuanced differences, it’s essential to acknowledge the diverse nature of AI applications. Code generation, another critical aspect, was tested, and Gemini Pro demonstrated its ability to generate code in popular programming languages. However, the true test lies in the practicality and efficiency of the generated code in real-world scenarios, which requires comprehensive and extensive testing.

As the evaluation progressed, the conclusion drawn indicated that, while Gemini Pro exhibited certain advancements, it did not decisively outperform ChatGPT in the assessed tasks. The expectation now shifts to Gemini Ultra, set to roll out in January 2024, with the hope that it will substantiate Google’s claims of superiority over GPT-4 and other AI models.

In the realm of AI, where advancements are rapid and benchmarks serve as markers of progress, the litmus test remains the practical application and adaptability of these models. The quest for the ultimate generative AI tool continues, and as it stands, GPT-4 maintains its undisputed status as the reigning AI model champion.

Conclusion

In the evolving landscape of generative AI, Google’s Gemini Pro falls short of delivering a decisive blow to ChatGPT. The spotlight now shifts to the upcoming release of Gemini Ultra, where the true potential of Google’s generative AI tool will face comprehensive scrutiny.
