- danpalmer 3y agoBard is a product, not a model, the same way that ChatGPT is a product (ish) where GPT3.5/4 is the model.
- UncleOxidant 3y agoAh, ok, so Bard will still be around but with a different (hopefully much better) model underlying. So far Bard has been very lackluster.
- panarky 3y agoAgreed, many issues with Bard, though I've had a better experience working with the underlying PaLM 2 directly. Even given all of its faults, have you found a better LLM than Bard that can incorporate current events? Because for my purposes, Bing chat has been far more faulty than Bard.
- Tommstein 3y agoI usually ask both Bard and Phind (which also does web searches to help generate answers, usually using GPT-4) the same questions, and I can't remember a single time Phind didn't blow Bard out of the water. Bard has done better when asking it creative stuff like to make up stories.
- xnx 3y agoCorrect. Bard is a public interface to their Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2). It's anyone's guess exactly how they'll roll out Gemini. Sounds like might be initially through GCP through approved partners.
