So, when AlphaCode 2 was announced, it was mentioned that it was “powered by Gemini”. This was grouped with other Gemini announcements.
What does this mean?
I think I read somewhere that AlphaCode 2 was essentially a fine-tune of competitive programming text data from a Gemini Pro model? Is that correct?
Is the 1.5 pro API, the model we have access to, the same thing that was used for that project?
The demo that I watched for AlphaCode seemed pretty impressive, and I wanted to try it out for myself, but if it’s basically just a fine-tune of what’s already available, and if it all stems from the very Gemini models we currently have access to, then I wouldn’t really need to try it out. Tinkering with Gemini should just get me the same results by that point, right?
