Key features – Side-by-Side

AttributeGoogle Gemini UltraAmazon AWS Bedrock
Model Size and Parameter CountEstimates suggest over 1 trillion parameters, with one source stating 1.56 trillion, but Google has not officially confirmed.Specific parameter counts for individual models within Bedrock vary and are not consistently disclosed. Bedrock offers access to foundation models (FMs) from various AI providers.
Context Window LengthGemini 1.5 Pro has a context window of 128,000 tokens, with a limited group able to try up to 1 million tokens. Gemini Advanced users have access to a 1 million token context window.Anthropic's Claude models on Bedrock have context windows up to 1 million tokens. Specifically, Claude Sonnet 4 supports a 1 million token context window. Claude Opus 4.1 has a 200,000 token context window. The input context window for the Llama3-8B model is 8k, but the output context window is restricted to 2048.
Multilingual Support (Number of Languages)Gemini Live supports over 40 languages on Android. Gemini for Google Workspace supports German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.Bedrock supports multiple languages through various FMs. Amazon Titan Multilingual is trained on data spanning over 100 languages. Cohere Embed Model 3 supports over 100 languages.
Image Generation CapabilitiesCan generate and process images conversationally, using text, images, or a combination of both. Supports text to image generation. Imagen 4 Ultra supports generating images with up to 2K resolution.Amazon Bedrock allows generating images using models like Amazon Titan Image Generator and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion. The Amazon Titan Image Generator enables generating and editing high-quality images using natural language prompts.
Video Generation CapabilitiesGemini AI Pro and Ultra, through Veo 3, offer image-to-video generation capabilities with experimental audio generation. Can transform photos into 8-second video clips with sound.Amazon Bedrock supports video generation. Amazon's Nova model allows users to create multi-shot videos up to 2 minutes long by using text prompts.
Audio Processing CapabilitiesGemini 1.5 Pro has enhanced audio processing to understand speech from uploaded audio files without needing transcripts. Can analyze and understand audio input, including non-speech components like birdsong or sirens. Supports various audio formats like WAV, MP3, AIFF, AAC, OGG Vorbis, and FLAC.Amazon Bedrock Data Automation (BDA) offers features like full audio summary, full audio transcript, topic summary, and content moderation. It can be used for audio summarization and redaction of sensitive information.
Code Generation and Debugging PerformanceCan understand, explain, and generate high-quality code in popular programming languages like Python, Java, C++, and Go. Can reason across code examples, suggest modifications, debug code, and optimize performance.Claude Sonnet 4 excels at code generation. Claude Opus 4.1 excels at independently planning and executing complex end-to-end development projects.
Integration with Existing Cloud ServicesGemini Pro and Ultra can be accessed via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio or Google Cloud Vertex AI. Integrates with Google Workspace, including Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Meet.Bedrock integrates with AWS services like Lambda, S3, Step Functions, and SageMaker. This allows for building end-to-end AI-powered solutions.
Customization and Fine-tuning OptionsVertex AI allows customization of Gemini with data control and Google Cloud features for enterprise security, safety, privacy, data governance, and compliance.Amazon Bedrock supports fine-tuning for models like Meta Llama 2, Cohere Command Light, and Amazon Titan. It offers both fine-tuning and continued pre-training for customization.
Security and Data Privacy ComplianceHas privacy, security, data governance, and compliance controls, including certifications like SOC 1/2/3, ISO 42001, FedRAMP High, and HIPAA. Data is not used to train Gemini models or for ad targeting.Amazon Bedrock ensures data privacy and security through encryption, access controls, and data handling policies. It encrypts data in transit and at rest using TLS and AWS KMS. Bedrock adheres to AWS's compliance standards, including GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
