Gemini 1.0 Pro

Closed weights Google DeepMind December 2023

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What it does

The problem areas the model was built for. A model can carry several of each.

Domain
Multimodal, Language, Vision
Task
Language modeling, Visual question answering, Chat, Translation

Size

How large the model is and how much data it was trained on. Parameters are the figure that decides whether it fits on a given graphics card.

Training data
tokens

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

How it was established
Benchmarks

The training run

What it physically took to train: which chips, how many, for how long, and what that drew from the wall.

Training hardware
Google TPU v4

Availability

Whether you can obtain the model and run it on your own hardware, which is what decides if any of the graphics-card figures on this page apply.

Why it is tracked
Significant use

Default/free model on gemini.google.com From paper: "Broadly, we find that the performance of Gemini Pro outperforms inference-optimized models such as GPT-3.5 and performs comparably with several of the most capable models available, and Gemini Ultra outperforms all current models. In this section, we examine some of these findings."

What the numbers mean

About this model

Gemini 1.0 Pro was published by Google DeepMind, in United States of America, in December 2023. It comes out of industry.

It works in Multimodal, Language, Vision, and is recorded as doing language modeling, Visual question answering, Chat, Translation.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Training and provenance

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: significant use.

Answers

Gemini 1.0 Pro — common questions

01

When was Gemini 1.0 Pro released?

Gemini 1.0 Pro was published in December 2023. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

02

What is Gemini 1.0 Pro used for?

Gemini 1.0 Pro works in Multimodal, Language, Vision, and is recorded as handling language modeling, Visual question answering, Chat, Translation. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

03

What GPU do I need to run Gemini 1.0 Pro?

None. Gemini 1.0 Pro is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

04

Is Gemini 1.0 Pro open source?

No. Gemini 1.0 Pro has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

05

How many parameters does Gemini 1.0 Pro have?

No parameter count has been published for Gemini 1.0 Pro, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

Who created Gemini 1.0 Pro?

Gemini 1.0 Pro was published by Google DeepMind, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.
