Google claims that Gemini outperforms competitors like OpenAI's GPT-4 in benchmarks, particularly in understanding complex concepts like math, code, literature, and reasoning. This makes it ideal for handling challenging tasks such as research, code generation, and explaining scientific theories. Google has made their Gemini Pro accessible to developers through their API, which is now completely free and can be accessed through Google AI Studio, formally known as makersuite.
GPT-4 (OpenAI)
GPT-4 is the recent language model developed by OpenAI. It is the fourth series of language models released after the successful launch of ChatGPT powered by GPT-3.5. It is equipped with state-of-the-art reasoning and creative capabilities that are apart from one's imagination. GPT-4 is a massive Neural Network containing an impressive 1.76 trillion parameters and trained on a very large corpus of text data including code from various programming languages. Moreover, GPT-4 is not only proficient in processing text but also exhibits the capability to handle visual data, including images. With its ability to understand and generate content from both text and visual inputs, GPT-4 can be considered a powerful multimodal AI, bridging the domains of language and vision.
Another interesting capability of GPT-4 is the amount of data it can process in a single request. The predecessor language models from OpenAI can process up to 3,000 tokens in a single request, but GPT-4 can process up to 25,000 tokens per request. This is so large that you can actually ask GPT-4 to summarize an entire 10-page PDF in one go.
It's important to note that GPT-4 is still in ongoing research at OpenAI. The company hasn't made the weights open-source.
GPT-3 (OpenAI)
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 is the third series of generative language models developed by OpenAI. GPT-3 is indeed a large Neural Network that is capable of generating human-like text and also can understand natural language.
GPT-3 series is said to be one of the most advanced language models ever made, trained on terabytes of data containing 175 billion parameters. It is pretty large and because of that, it takes the company months to train the algorithm with a computational cost of over $4.3 million.
Because of this complexity, GPT-3 is able to do a lot of things for us, like writing a project thesis to write code for your university project even making an entire YouTube video script, and so on. It can even do some cognitive tasks like humans, for instance, if you asked GPT-3 "Which one weighs more, 1 kg of cotton or 1 kg of iron", it will say both of them weigh the same.
However, the scientists and researchers at OpenAI are always looking forward to building more sophisticated language models. As a result, they launched ChatGPT, primarily powered by GPT-3.5, an enhanced version of GPT-3 which is free for everyone to use.
AlphaGo (Google DeepMind)
AlphaGo is an AI developed by Google DeepMind and introduced around 2014. It remains one of the most incredible AI systems in existence. AlphaGo took its place in magazines and news in 2016 beating the world's most intelligent Go player, Lee Sedol in a five-game match.
Go is a kind of ancient Chinese board game that has simple rules but is incredibly complex and cannot be played without human intuition. The game has an enormous number of moves to make the game more complex and really hard or just impossible for a machine to learn, as many scientists thought at that time.
But AlphaGo developed a human-level intuition and is able to play the game more creatively than anyone ever played. This is possible by a method of training machine learning models known as Deep Reinforcement Learning. The model uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to understand the game through vision and is trained over a large corpus of human Go games and fine-tuned using Reinforcement learning (learning through trial and error method).
The victory of AlphaGo over Lee Sedol was a great moment in the history of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The researchers at DeepMind claim that their AI is general-purpose, meaning that it can do a lot more than just play Go. As a result, engineers used it to regulate the cooling systems in Google data centers and also used to solve other kinds of problems like protein folding, etc.
Watson (IBM)

Watson is an AI system developed by IBM. It was initially developed as a chatbot that can answer questions, built on top of Advanced Natural Language Processing and Neural Networks. Later, IBM put Watson to the test against humans in America's popular quiz game show Jeopardy. Interestingly, Watson beat the champions of the game and won a prize worth $1 million.
In recent years, Watson has become more capable so IBM engineers use it to build a lot of tools and applications like customer service, chatbots, Virtual Assistants, Recommender Systems, etc.
Moreover, Watson also performs well in healthcare applications, as it can even predict the possibility of skin cancers by just seeing the image of a person. It is able to detect various kinds of diseases like cancers, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, etc, with greater accuracy and also recommends medication. These abilities of Watson are utilized by a lot of health centers and hospitals all across the world.
With the rise in computational power and resources today, Watson AI has become extremely powerful, capable of performing tasks once limited to humans such as sight, hearing, speech, and learning.
