Google announced Gemini on December 6, 2023, a multimodal model family offered in three sizes (Ultra, Pro, Nano). The company claims Gemini Ultra is the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU and outperforms GPT-4 on some benchmarks; Gemini Pro will be licensed via Google Cloud API starting December 13, 2023. Executives stated Gemini Ultra is "significantly cheaper to serve" despite being the largest model and called it more efficient to train than predecessors, though they did not disclose parameter count or provide direct performance comparison against GPT-4. For financial institutions, this signals Google's competitive move against OpenAI and its attempt to monetize AI through enterprise licensing, but with monetization plans for consumer products (Bard Advanced) still undecided at announcement.
