Google has unveiled Gemini, its most advanced AI model to date with sophisticated reasoning and multitasking capabilities. Now, a tailored version of Gemini Pro is coming to Google's conversational AI, Bard, marking the chatbot's biggest upgrade since launching earlier this year.
Gemini Pro in Bard is designed specifically to enhance the chatbot's skills in critical areas like summarization, coding, planning, and understanding. Google tested Gemini Pro against industry benchmarks, finding it outperformed the popular GPT-3.5 model on 6 out of 8 tests, including on language understanding.
Early next year, Bard will receive another significant upgrade with Gemini Ultra, Google's most capable AI model intended for complex, multimodal tasks. Gemini Ultra will debut through Bard Advanced, a new product experience that will provide access to Google's top-tier models and capabilities.
As the company continues expanding access to its latest AI capabilities, it applies rigorous safety measures, including testing and user feedback. The steady enhancement of models like Gemini promises to inch Bard closer toward its goal of becoming users' top AI companion for collaboration and exploration. However, for now it still has a long way to go to catch up to the functionality and experience offered by OpenAI's ChatGPT.
