All A-Bard!

 

OpenAI may have been the first out of the gate with ChatGPT, but don't count Google out yet. Bard was introduced this past February, and through a progressive rollout has become available to more and more users and in a variety of settings around the world.

Bard has similar capabilities to ChatGPT and other prominent LLMs that have emerged over the past 6 months.

 

Bard is a large language model (LLM) chatbot developed by Google AI. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. New Bard is running on the PaLM 2 model. It is far better at coding, reasoning, and creative writing problems than LaMDA.
