Gemini is a completely different project.

The term “AI” is rather overloaded these days.

AlphaFold uses a combination of machine learning and physics simulations to predict the shape of a protein given its chemical formula.

Gemini is a Large Language Model which uses machine learning to predict text completion.

They both use “machine learning” but the machine learning models are wildly different. Machine learning is a technique that’s basically a fancy curve fitting approach. The curve AlphaFold is trained to mimic maps chemical formulas to shapes, while the curve Gemini mimics maps a text input to probabilities for predictions of the next letter(s).
