🎉 It’s a big day for @Google Gemini.

Gemini 1.5 Pro now understands audio, uses unlimited files, acts on your commands, and lets devs build incredible things with JSON mode! It’s all 🆓. Here’s why it’s a big deal 👇

🔈 Gemini can hear
Gemini understands audio (up to 9.5 hours of audio) but not just the words you’re saying but the tone and emotion behind the audio. In some cases it even understands some sounds such as dogs barking and rain falling.

👩‍🏫 TEACHERS: Upload a recording of your lecture to create a 10 question quiz on the most important content.
👨‍💼 CONSULTANTS: Upload a recording of an entire day’s offsite and create a new team strategy document.
🚀 FOUNDERS: Record your startup pitch and get specific feedback on how you could improve your next round.

🗂️ Gemini can use unlimited files.
When working with Gemini, you can upload nearly unlimited files (images, video frames and audio) to ask Gemini questions against and it’s free.

👨‍🎨 CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS: Upload your mood board to get a theme and color for your next product.
👩‍🎓 STUDENTS / RESEARCH: Upload documents and photos from papers or notes to summarize your thesis.
❤️ FAMILY STUFF: Upload hundreds of family photos and Gemini can figure out the best holiday card photos.

⚒️ Better function calling and system instructions.
2023 was the year of text based chat with ChatGPT. 2024 will be the the year of AI agents taking action on behalf of people. Gemini can understand thousands of actions and figure out what to do next for people.

👩‍💻 TECH COMPANIES: Create a general digital assistant like Siri or Alexa that actually can do thousands of tasks.
👩‍🔧 CUSTOMER SERVICE: Create a call center bot that doesn’t infuriate people.

⛩️ Finally, JSON mode.
JSON mode has been the biggest ask for developers since the team started giving access to the power of Gemini. In short it lets developers pull information out of text, speech or videos in a structured way. Today, it’s live and I’m so proud of the team getting this in.

👯‍♀️ It’s public. It’s free. No waitlist.
The largest roadblock to using Gemini was the waitlist. Google is showing its incredible capacity to host these models and today is the day we let the floodgates open. No more waitlist and it still includes all the magical features that exist in Gemini:

📚 1 million token context window. Ask Gemini about ten books of text, 9 hours of audio or a movie worth of video frames.
⚖️ Advanced reasoning, understanding and performance.
🚦 Set safety limits or remove them all together.

💸 If you want to build a new app or experience on Gemini, there’s a new paid tier for even higher rate limits.

Let me know what you do with #Gemini. I’ll be posting a few things I’m doing with it soon.

Thank you. It was written originally in English by an American. Me. I was credited as the author.

Republicans in power, the worst form of time travel imaginable.

[Pole Vault Power @polevaultpower]

A few days ago, the Ohio Republicans passed a change to state law that was snuck in at the last minute, under the guise of “protecting” girls sports.

Texas: let’s force people to birth children, then watch them be brutally murdered with legally purchased guns. #ProLifeMyAss is a trending hashtag for good reason.

[Gabe Sanchez @iamgabesanchez]

It would be a shame if someone sent a ton of fake tips to the Texas pro-life whistleblower website…

@SeanDaBlack created an iOS shortcut to do just this. Idea inspired by @0liviajulianna and @HammettVictoria.

@KLM_US Hello! I have been notified that my flight has been cancelled, and I am eligible for a refund.

However when filling out the form, I noticed that my ticket number does not follow the format (i.e. start with airline code 074).

How should I properly claim my refund?

Two political ads. Both feature black women. Both of whom did little for black women...?

Wait, did #sodastream make an extension of the #olay ad?! #SuperBowl
