Gemini
Google DeepMind's family of multimodal AI models designed to understand and generate text, code, images, audio, and video. Gemini is Google's flagship AI model series.
Why It Matters
Gemini represents Google's full AI strategy — integrated across Search, Workspace, Cloud, and Android. It is a key competitor to GPT-4 and Claude.
Example
Gemini analyzing a photo of a math problem on a whiteboard, understanding the equations, and explaining the solution step by step.
Think of it like...
Like Google's Swiss Army knife — one model family that handles text, images, code, and more across all of Google's products.

Large Language Model
A type of AI model trained on massive amounts of text data that can understand and generate human-like text. LLMs use transformer architecture and typically have billions of parameters, enabling them to perform a wide range of language tasks.
Multimodal AI
AI systems that can process and generate multiple types of data — text, images, audio, video — within a single model. Multimodal models understand the relationships between different data types.
Foundation Model
A large AI model trained on broad data at scale that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. Foundation models serve as the base upon which specialized applications are built.
Frontier Model
The most capable and advanced AI models available at any given time, typically characterized by the highest performance across multiple benchmarks. These models push the boundaries of AI capabilities.
