What is Gemini
Google’s family of large language models, and the assistant built on them. A peer of OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
In plain terms
Gemini names both the language models Google trains and the assistant most people meet them through. Developers build on Gemini through Google’s paid API, sending prompts and reading back answers, the same shape as building on GPT or Claude. Google sells it alongside Google Cloud, so teams already running there often reach for it first.
What it tells you about a developer
Gemini experience is model integration experience, and it transfers directly to GPT and Claude. It usually comes with Google Cloud experience attached, since the two are sold together.
