The war with ChatGPT has spread to mobile! Google Gemini app officially launched on iOS

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, after weeks of speculation by the media, the American "tech giant" Google (GOOGL.US) officially launched the iOS mobile version of its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot on the Apple App Store this week. This move also signifies that the competition between Google's Gemini and OpenAI's proud AI chatbot ChatGPT for end-users has expanded from the PC side to the smartphone mobile side.

Google has been very low-key about the launch process of this iOS application, which is almost identical to the Gemini version already available on the official Google application. However, it does provide access to Gemini Live, an AI voice and dialogue feature similar to OpenAI's voice mode, allowing for various high-frequency interactions such as Q&A with Google's flagship large model Gemini-driven AI chatbot through conversation.

The launch of Google's Gemini smartphone application on the Android mobile platform occurred earlier than on the Apple iOS mobile platform. Additionally, according to media reports, the Gemini Live feature was initially launched on Android devices and was later announced to be available on iPhone's iOS mobile platform.

OpenAI, a leader in the field of generative artificial intelligence, is the developer of ChatGPT, which has consistently ranked among the top five applications on the Apple App Store in the North American market since its launch on iOS smartphones. The ChatGPT smartphone application is now fully available on both iOS and Android platforms, and compared to Google's Gemini, ChatGPT has progressed much faster in its smartphone deployment—Google's Gemini application only fully integrated into iOS and Android this week.

The official launch of the Gemini application on Apple's iOS mobile platform is an important part of Google's continued efforts to promote the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence among global end-users. At the end of last month, Google announced that its map application would integrate its Gemini AI chatbot, and its Waze and Google Earth applications would also gain AI features powered by the Gemini large model.

From the perspective of large model theory, Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT each have their advantages. Gemini is a multimodal model capable of processing various data types such as text, images, and audio, providing a richer interactive experience, and is ahead of ChatGPT in terms of multimodal capabilities. Gemini fully integrates Google's expertise in natural language processing, computer vision, and audio analysis, making its large model more powerful in multimodal and multitasking scenarios compared to ChatGPT.

Moreover, Google Gemini is deeply integrated with other services in the Google ecosystem (such as YouTube Music and Google Maps), allowing users to access these services directly through Gemini, enhancing usability; Gemini can also directly access Google's powerful software tools and APIs, providing highly customized AI solutions for enterprise clients According to investment institutions on Wall Street, as global enterprises and individual users gradually realize the significant productivity improvements brought by AI, and as developers increasingly leverage the well-established low-barrier AI software development ecosystem on cloud computing platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure, the large-scale deployment of AI applications on the enterprise side and the explosive growth of more innovative consumer-facing AI application software are becoming increasingly mature. This also means that in the future, on mobile smartphones, in addition to general-purpose AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, more specialized AI chatbots may emerge
