Google's Gemini AI has recently achieved a remarkable technological breakthrough, capable of processing multiple visual streams simultaneously, an unprecedented achievement in the field of artificial intelligence. This feature was showcased not through Google's mainstream platform but via an experimental application called "AnyChat."

Gemini AI's new capability allows it not only to watch videos in real-time but also to analyze static images simultaneously, breaking the previous limitation where AI could only handle a single visual input. Ahsen Khaliq, the machine learning lead at Gradio, stated in an interview with VentureBeat: "Now you can have a conversation with the AI while it processes your live video and any images you want to share."

The success of AnyChat in realizing this multi-stream processing capability is attributed to Gemini AI's advanced neural network architecture. While this capability already exists in Gemini's API, it has yet to be made available to regular users in Google's official applications. Many AI platforms, including ChatGPT, currently can only handle a single stream of input, disabling the live video stream when an image is uploaded.

The potential applications of this technology are vast. Students can demonstrate math problems in real-time and show their textbooks to Gemini for step-by-step guidance. Artists can share their ongoing works and reference images to receive real-time feedback on composition and techniques.

The technological breakthrough of AnyChat was not accidental; the development team worked closely with Gemini's technical architecture to successfully expand its capabilities. With these special permissions, AnyChat can track and analyze multiple visual inputs simultaneously without compromising the coherence of the conversation. Developers can replicate this capability with simple code to create custom platforms that support video streaming and image uploads.

Although AnyChat is still in the experimental stage, its success demonstrates the real potential of multi-stream AI visual processing. This new capability of Gemini is set to bring disruptive changes across various fields, including healthcare, engineering, and education.
