So how do we actually try out the PaLM 2?
The links in their press release just link to their other press release, and if I google "PaLM API" it just gives me more press release, but I just couldn't find the actual document for their PaLM API.
How do I actually google the "PaLM API" for a way to test "PaLM 2"?

- renewiltord 3y agoNo API, but Bard is on it.
- jacooper 3y agoIt should be live on Bard.
- newhouseb 3y agoBut Google hasn't disclosed which version of Bard, right? I pop into Bard every once in a while to test its performance, but I never know if I'm getting the best Google has or just what Google can tolerate running cost-wise publicly given they potentially have at least an order of magnitude (if not two, edit: 1.5) more users than OpenAI.
- spullara 3y agoI am sure that Bard has far fewer users than OpenAI.
- newhouseb 3y agoOh absolutely, I'm just imagining what I might think if I was a super conservative director at Google who is accountable for the balance sheet of a large org.
- nr2x 3y agoIf that were the case you’d be too busy fighting over head count, trying to hit the VP rung, and internal empire building to do any actual work.
- apetresc 3y agoGiven that ChatGPT has allegedly 100M users, two orders of magnitude more than that would be larger than the global population. Even if we count everyone with a Google account as a potential user of PaLM, that can't be true.
- cubefox 3y agoSundar Pichai: > We’ve been rapidly evolving Bard. It now supports a wide range of programming capabilities, and it’s gotten much smarter at reasoning and math prompts. And, as of today, it is now fully running on PaLM 2. So yes, Bard uses PaLM 2 now. No longer the small LaMDA model it used before. It's a completely different thing now.
- speedgoose 3y agoBard is not live though. > Bard isn't currently supported in your country. Stay tuned! It has been months…
- cubefox 3y ago> Yesterday at Google I/O 2023, it was announced that Google Bard would be undergoing a massive expansion, bringing the AI chatbot experiment to 180 countries. However, what Google didn’t mention is that Bard still isn’t available in the European Union. https://9to5google.com/2023/05/11/google-bard-european-union/ https://9to5google.com/2023/05/11/google-bard-european-union...
- minimaxir 3y agoGoogle's docs on the APIs are up: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/learn/overview https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/learn/... The pricing is also now listed but free during the trial period, although it's annoyingly priced by character: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/pricing#generative_ai_models https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/pricing#generative_ai_mod... Assuming ChatGPT's tokens are the equivalent of 4 characters on average (a fair assumption), the pricing of PaLM's chat and embedding APIs are the same cost as OpenAI's equivalents.
- ntonozzi 3y agoWhy would that be annoying? It’s much easier to understand, predict and truncate appropriately than having to explain all of these different tokenization schemes to devs.
- nr2x 3y agoThey’ve shut down and/or changed prices on APIs so many times as long as it isn’t 100x lower performance than an alternative I can’t see myself investing building a stack that relies on it.
