Google's AI assistant Gemini has achieved a historic breakthrough on the US iOS platform, with its download count surpassing the long-reigning ChatGPT for the first time, successfully topping the free app download chart.
This milestone achievement has broken ChatGPT's long-term dominance in the AI application field. According to industry analysis, the core driving force behind Gemini's explosive growth comes from its latest integrated NanoBanana image generation model.
The biggest highlight of this model is its inclusiveness - both free users and paid users can directly use NanoBanana for image editing and generation within the Gemini app. This strategy significantly lowered the user barrier, attracting a large number of new users.
This breakthrough not only marks an important victory for Google in the AI competition, but also signals that the landscape of the AI application market is undergoing profound changes.
