Google wants to replace the default voice assistant with Gemini, I hope they can make up the gap and also add natural voice responses too.
1.0 Ultra completely sucked but when I tried 1.5 it is actually quite close to GPT4.
It can handle most things as well as ChatGPT 4 and in some cases actually does not get stuck like GPT does.
I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on Gemini 1.0 vs 1.5? Are you guys seeing the same thing?
I have developed a personal benchmark of 10 questions that resemble common tasks I'd like an AI to do (write some code, translate a PNG with text into usable content and then do operations on it, Work with a simple excel sheet and a few other tasks that are somewhat similar).
I recommend everyone else who is serious about evaluating these LLMs think of a series of things they feel an "AI" should be able to do and then prepare a series of questions. That way you have a common reference so you can quickly see any advancement (or lack of advancement)
GPT-4 kinda handles 7 of the 10. I say kinda because it also gets hung up on the 7th task(reading a game price chart PNG with an odd number of columns and boxes) depending on how you ask: They have improved over the last year slowly and steadily to reach this point.
Bard Failed all the tasks.
Gemini 1.0 failed all but 1.
Gemini 1.5 passed 6/10.
GPT-4V is still the king. But Google's latest widely available offering (1.5 Pro) is close, if benchmarks indicate capability (questionable). Gemini's writing is evidently better, and vastly more so its context window.
That is an idea worth expanding on. Someone should develop a "standard" public list of 100 (or more) questions/tasks against which any AI version can be tested to see what the program's current "score" is (although some scoring might have to assign a subjective evaluation when pass/fail isn't clear).
The advantage of a personal set of questions is that you might be able to keep it out of the training set, if you don't publish it anywhere, and if you make sure cloud-accessed model providers aren't logging the conversations.
