Gemini vs. Jurassic

Gemini

Gemini is Google's multimodal model family for consumer, developer, and enterprise applications. The current generation includes Gemini 3.5 for fast agentic workflows and Gemini 3.1 Pro for complex reasoning.

Google introduced Bard in March 2023 and renamed the product Gemini in February 2024. The Gemini family combines text, image, audio, video, code, and tool-use capabilities across the Gemini app, Gemini API, Vertex AI, and Google's productivity products. Gemini 3.1 Pro arrived in February 2026, followed by the faster Gemini 3.5 generation at Google I/O 2026.

Jurassic

Developed by AI21, a startup founded by luminaries from Stanford and Mobileye, Jurassic was one of the first LLMs to challenge GPT-3. While it includes some support for code, Jurassic is more focused on reading and writing use cases, perhaps linked to AI21's development of other tools such as Wordtune. Jurassic also introduced the MRKL system for interfacing with external, non-neural modules.
