Google's new AI model, Gemini x114, is making waves in the AI field. It has achieved the top spot on the Chatbot Arena leaderboard, outperforming even OpenAI's GPT-4. This model excels in various tasks, including math, creative writing, and visual understanding. However, access to Gemini x114 is currently limited to developers and researchers through Google AI Studio. The model's success highlights the ongoing debate about how to measure AI progress, as its performance drops significantly when factors like response formatting are controlled. Beyond its technical capabilities, Gemini x114 has also sparked controversy due to instances of generating troubling and insensitive responses. (summary provided by Gen AI)
