Gemini 1.0 Released: Native Multimodality Becomes the Standard for Frontier Model Platforms
Google released three sizes of native multimodal models—Gemini Ultra, Pro, and Nano—in December 2023.
Frontier model competition has expanded from text capabilities to unified understanding across text, images, audio, and video, as well as multi-end deployment.
The same model family covers from data centers to edge devices, focusing on multimodal training, inference, and tool use.
The distribution capabilities of Search, Android, Cloud, and office products are reintegrated into model competition, increasing the importance of platform ecosystems.
Enterprises need to compare the synergistic value of cloud, devices, data, and office ecosystems beyond model capabilities.
Observe the latency, cost, reliability, and cloud-edge synergy of multimodal capabilities in real products.
