Gemini

Gemini is an LLM (large Language model) that can generate predictive text, images, audio, and video. You may choose to use Gemini to assist with research, provide personalized study materials, and offer feedback on writing. Gemini operates within a secure, privacy-focused environment, meaning Lehigh data is not used to train the general AI models or reviewed by humans, with added data protection for EDU accounts.

Google Gemini comes in a few variations. Google Gemini (standalone) is a chat interface similar to OpenAI ChatGPT and Anthropic Claude where you can ask questions, upload documents for summaries, create content, and generate images. Gemini (standalone) is available at gemini.google.com.

All Lehigh faculty, staff, and students have access to Gemini as a part of our Google licenses. Students, faculty, and staff can use Gemini by going to ‎Google Gemini or going to the available apps listed in your Lehigh Google account.

Once in Gemini, you can choose models to test including Google Pro version, try the Deep Research tool, upload files (including videos and images), open the canvas to see your prompting window and the output (helpful with coding), and talk to Gemini. You will also have access to Gems, which allows you to save and reuse prompts.
