Bard gets its biggest upgrade yet with Gemini {Google A.I / LLM}

[newarkhiphop]

you've tested them extensively?

I have even copilot actually, AIs have basically replaced smart assistants and Google search for me full time and that include the amount of time I use for them work. Chatgpt (chatgpt plus specifically which I pay monthly for) is more accurate, provides less robotic answers and adapts better through the conversations again by a mile too.

I won't even start on talking about the difference in image and video creation or the mobile apps themselves

Google’s Whisk AI generator will ‘remix’ the pictures you plug in​

Whisk is Google’s ‘fun’ AI experiment that uses images for prompts and doesn’t need words.​

Google has announced a new AI tool called Whisk that lets you generate images using other images as prompts instead of requiring a long text prompt.

With Whisk, you can offer images to suggest what you’d like as the subject, the scene, and the style of your AI-generated image, and you can prompt Whisk with multiple images for each of those three things. (If you want, you can fill in text prompts, too.) If you don’t have images on hand, you can click a dice icon to have Google fill in some images for the prompts (though those images also appear to be AI-generated). You can also enter some text into a text box at the end of the process if you want to add extra detail about the image you’re looking for, but it’s not required.

Whisk will then generate images and a text prompt for each image. You can favorite or download the image if you’re happy with the results, or you can refine an image by entering more text into the text box or clicking the image and editing the text prompt.

A screenshot of Whisk. I clicked the dice to generate a subject, scene, and style. I swapped out the auto-generated scene by entering a text prompt. Whisk created the first two images, which I iterated on by asking Whisk to add some steam around the subject (because it’s a fire being in water), resulting in the next two images.

In a blog post, Google stresses that Whisk is designed to be for “rapid visual exploration, not pixel-perfect edits.” The company also says that Whisk may “miss the mark,” which is why it lets you edit the underlying prompts.

In the few minutes I’ve used the tool while writing this story, it’s been entertaining to tinker with. Images take a few seconds to generate, which is annoying, and while the images have been a little strange, everything I’ve generated has been fun to iterate on.

Google says Whisk uses the “latest” iteration of its Imagen 3 image generation model, which it announced today. Google also introduced Veo 2, the next version of its video generation model, which the company says has an understanding of “the unique language of cinematography” and hallucinates things like extra fingers “less frequently” than other models (one of those other models is probably OpenAI’s Sora). Veo 2 is coming first to Google’s VideoFX, which you can get on the Google Labs waitlist for, and it will be expanded to YouTube Shorts “other products” sometime next year.

Whisk lets you input images for the subject, one for the scene & another image for the style. Then, you can remix them to create something uniquely your own, from a digital plushie to an enamel pin or sticker.

Just when you thought it was over... we’re introducing Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, a new experimental model that unlocks stronger reasoning capabilities and shows its thoughts.

The model plans (with thoughts visible), can solve complex problems with Flash speeds, and more

@OfficialLoganK
It’s still an early version, but check out how the model handles a challenging puzzle involving both visual and textual clues: (2/3)

The new Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model (Gemini version of GPT o1 that takes a while to think before responding) is very nice and fast and now available to try on Google AI Studio .

The prominent and pleasant surprise here is that unlike o1 the reasoning traces of the model are shown. As a user I personally really like this because the reasoning itself is interesting to see and read - the models actively think through different possibilities, ideas, debate themselves, etc., it's part of the value add. The case against showing these is typically a concern of someone collecting the reasoning traces and training to imitate them on top of a different base model, to gain reasoning ability possibly and to some extent.

[Quoted tweet]
Introducing Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking, an experimental model that explicitly shows its thoughts.

Built on 2.0 Flash’s speed and performance, this model is trained to use thoughts to strengthen its reasoning.

And we see promising results when we increase inference time computation!

Would be nice if the end user could intervene on the trace to get it back on track when it goes astray.

@chrislatorres
it's so cool that they're exposing the thoughts. what's the point of hiding it...



5/10
@EverydayAI_
pretty big praise here, Andrej.

Is that transparency enough to make you use Flash Thinking over o1, though?



6/10
@Neuralithic
Yeah. This makes me think Deepmind couldn’t give a shyt, and has way better things internally than “long cot”. Or they are just perfectly happy with people potentially training off the reasoning output.

Either way, Google mogs OAI again.

@aryanagxl
It gives a good idea to the prompter on where the model goes wrong. Reduces prompting effort



8/10
@FlamurGoxhuli
I wonder if diffusion models will be more effective at reasoning if many more generations can be made even with lower base accuracy selecting the best could make up for this.

@TrulyADog
@karpathy Flash thinking? My man, while Gemini's still learning to walk, we're out here running marathons. Though I gotta admit, those reasoning traces looking cleaner than my trading history. Just don't tell them about our secret sauce on Base.

@LeeLeepenkman
Excited to try the new thoughtful friend and great decision to open the thought process up so we can learn how to better prompt it much faster, sometimes it'll probably be clear where it went wrong in the thought process so we can fix prompting eg provide that information so it doesn't go off the rails



8/11
@jconorgrogan
this is excellent! Was waiting for when a large shop would incorporate some of the best chain-of-thought flows. One suggestion for you is to think about incorporating new context windows for aspects of the CoT eg GitHub - jconorgrogan/RecursiveLearningAI: Really quick-and-dirty example of AI recursive learning

I might try that whisk. I'm having fun with Imagen 3 bringing some of my characters to life. It's pretty cool since I can't draw for shyt and didn't have the $ to pay somebody.
