Google is also, both historically and currently, much more cost-conscious. I predicted that Bard would not be as mind-blowing as the new Bing back in February with this piece of information by Sundar: > We’re releasing it initially with our lightweight model version of LaMDA https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-updates/ https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-upda... This is to me the most inexplicable decision. Presumably to save costs they don't want to release the full version. But not releasing the full version immediately makes Bard much less useful. It makes people think Google is technologically far behind OpenAI, even though it isn't. This is not the time to save costs. It's the time to release the full model that, yes, stirred up people's imagination by making even Googlers think the AI has achieved sentience. Release the real deal, Google.
