Gemini is Google’s flagship AI large model launched in 2023. It was formerly known as Bard. After many iterations, it has developed into a model family covering multiple levels of Flash, Pro, and Ultra. Its biggest differentiating advantage lies in its deep integration with the Google ecosystem - automatically drafting emails in Gmail, assisting writing in Google Docs, and obtaining the latest information in real time through Google search. This is a moat that ChatGPT and Claude are difficult to copy.
