When you look at what Google has just achieved, it’s no wonder OpenAI suddenly released Sora a few hours later to distract the world from the fact they aren’t in the lead anymore in the Large Language Model (LLM) space.
Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro is a generational leap in terms of Multimodal Large Language Models, or MLLMs, much like GPT-4 was to LLMs back in March 2023.
Specifically, it‘s capable of processing millions of words at a time, 40-minute-long videos, or 11 hours of audio in seconds with 99% context retrieval accuracy, absolutely unheard of in the field until today.
The long-sequence era has arrived, and with it, a new dominant player looks down at OpenAI for the first time.
