Google continues to develop Gemini and will soon launch important new features such as Gemini Live, its conversational model, to continue to face OpenAI and its ChatGPT with GPT-4o or GPT-4o mini. In EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre we were able to prove the Gemini Advanced paid subscription to leave some of our experience in the same direction and know that it is a great competitor with significant advantages.
Gemini Advanced is available in Europe with a subscription model that has a price of 21.99 dollars per month, although you can now access a free one-month offer. Google’s payment AI is accessible both in its web version and in the same application launched in June in Europe with Gemini.
This means that it can be easily used from your mobile and offers the possibility to use it as an assistantand in this sense, the technology giant has proceeded with the migration of Google Assistant to Gemini with all its functions; although some are still to come.
Gemini Advanced is characterized by the use of the latest innovations in AI Google’s Advanced with the 1.5 Pro model, a 1 million token pop-up window and the ability to access new exclusive features that are being rolled out. Unlike other solutions like ChatGPT or Claude, Google is bundling Advanced with the use of its AI in Gmail, Docs and other apps, as well as 2TB of cloud storage and the benefits included in the Google One Premium plan.
The fact that its artificial intelligence can be used in Gmail and other applications opens the way for you to compose emails or perform more complex searches in the documents you have in the cloud. A point to look at differentiates Google’s proposal from those mentionedalthough Microsoft’s Copilot offers something similar for the work or business environment and those well known from Excel or Word.
Being part of the large app conglomerate Google is one of its greatest virtues and it’s not just about paying for more advanced AI or more tokens or fewer limits on their usage, but also Your experience is extended to cover other peaks for personal or professional use.
But beyond what Gemini Advanced itself is with its benefits, the important thing is that you access the 1.5 Pro model which offers better experiences and which can be summed up as follows:
- Greater processing capacity– Handles more complex tasks much better and generates responses with greater accuracy.
- Broader context– Takes context into account to improve better responses and provide valuable insights.
- It’s more creative to generate more original texts such as stories or even code.
- Has better logical reasoning ability and solve more complex problems.
Your strengths
One of its main points, also available in the free version, is that Gemini offers links to consultations They are made as the pictures shown. If asked about a physical exercise to do, he shows how to do it and even direct links to YouTube. Different from Claude or ChatGPT who explain the exercise in text without pictures.
This is one of the greatest virtues of Gemini, just like updated information for day to ask questions about current events unlike ChatGPT which has a GPT-4 deadline until April 2023.
Yes, it lacks the ability to generate images with AI, and based on the errors generated when this feature was launched, with those very controversial images in February 2024, I had to turn around until you find a solution that makes the experience complete and seamless.
Another important point of Gemini Advanced is the number of queries it allows: up to 60 requests per minute. And this aspect is important because its largest and most potential language model is used in Advanced. Other solutions, such as ChatGPT with GPT-4o, only allow 40 messages every three hours, so for larger workloads or requests, Advanced is an excellent solution to choose, always measuring the needs of each one, but in this case the embroidery.
The test of images
To show the capability of Gemini Advanced, we made a test in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre so that Identify the strength exercises that appear in an image and thus help us achieve them. Another of the best capabilities of today’s AI is its ability to “see”, which is why in this case we tested this ability with “describe to me the exercises you see in this image”.
Gemini Advanced stands out for the speed with which it responds and for how its answers are very precise, although by asking the same query to GPT-4o, ChatGPT was able to make a diagram, although Google’s AI summarized everything in a more concise and uniform way. actually named each exercise backwards as ChatGPT which only indicated the area or muscle to work. In the world of the gym or bodybuilding, each exercise has a name, so in this case, Gemini was much more precise, providing information of great value in the given context.
This Gemini could have added the information that ChatGPT gives with the area being trained, of course, but the question I asked him was to describe the exercises he sees in the image and Gemini did it: “Incline Dumbbell Bench Press”, “Alternating Biceps Curl” and “Hammer Biceps Curl” among others.
In the image you can see a series of strength exercises and although they can be “understood”, perhaps the person who wants to improve their muscle tone will have difficulty following the instructions and arrows, so the AI helps them and explains them. It even gives the commonly used name. So when you go to the gym for the first time, you will have the right name in your mouth.
It was concise in each exercise and knew how to summarize each one to define them and even how to perform them. More related queries could be made, such as the caloric expenditure in the series that was recommended to start doing strength exercises or depending on the weight, age and height of the person, what are the recommendations, but with One test is enough to prove that this is a very powerful AI and that with Advanced you get access to a wide list of experiences that have always been with Google.
Do I subscribe?
Depending on the use that will be made of it, Gemini shows some strengths and some weaknesses (it still does not generate images with AI), as is the case with the innovations of OpenAI with its GPT-4o mini or Claude, which already has an Android application in Europe for weeks. Returning to what was mentioned above, Gemini Advanced paves the way for a more advanced engine and experiences that will be continuously extended to the rest of Google applications in the coming months and years.
You need to be clear about why you want to use AI.since in the professional case the answer is very simple with Gemini to have only one competitor: Microsoft Copilot. For the rest, Gemini Advanced is an excellent proposition and the test given certifies everything that is said.
