Google has revealed that it would allow users to engage with generative AI in an early trial using its ChatGPT rival “Bard.”
Early access to Bard has begun in the US and the UK, and the business promised to gradually add additional nations and languages.
“Bard may help you be more productive, develop ideas more quickly, and satisfy your curiosity. You may request advice from Bard on how to achieve your goal of reading more books this year, ask him to simplify quantum physics, or ask him to inspire your creativity by writing a blog post, according to Google in a blog post.
Bard is built on a large language model (LLM), especially a lightweight and optimised version of LaMDA, which the tech giant stated would be upgraded with newer, more competent models in the future. It is similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot.
An LLM may be compared to a prediction engine by users. According to Google, when given a cue, it constructs a response by choosing words that are probably to follow next, one at a time.
Users may communicate with Bard by asking questions and then clarifying their answers with further queries.
The business said that it will keep enhancing Bard and adding features over time, such as coding, other languages, and multimodal experiences.
