Google’s AI chatbot Bard gets a major upgrade with Gemini Pro،

Google today announced the highly anticipated launch of Gemini, their next-generation and most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model to date. Not only will it be part of their latest Pixel devices as part of the December Feature Drop, but it will also power Bard.

Gemini is Google's latest AI project, announced at the I/O 2023 conference and rumored to have been delayed until January. Fortunately, this didn't actually happen and Google made this announcement today.

Bard now uses a specially optimized version of Gemini Pro for enhanced operations in English, initially available in more than 170 countries and territories. This will allow Bard to have more advanced reasoning, planning abilities, and understanding of tasks. It will also be able to quickly understand and act on different types of input, such as text, images, audio, video and code. This is the first step in Gemini's integration with Bard, with further enhancements planned early next year.

Early next year, Google will launch Bard Advanced, which will give users access to its most powerful models and capabilities, including Gemini Ultra. This advanced version of Bard will be able to handle even the most difficult tasks and will be the last of three versions in which Gemini 1.0 will be available: Ultra for very complex tasks, Pro for scaling across a wide range of tasks and Nano for on-device tasks.

As for performance, Google states that Gemini Pro outperformed leading AI models in various benchmarks, demonstrating its exceptional capabilities. Bard, backed by Gemini Pro, received positive feedback, solidifying its position as the best free chatbot. To demonstrate, Google released the video below in collaboration with YouTuber Mark Rober, in which he uses Bard with Gemini Pro to design the most accurate paper airplane and showing the tool's potential to elevate the creative process .

As part of Google's commitment to developing AI responsibly, the company says it has built security features into Bard, such as the “Google it” button, which allows users to verify information. The company also works with researchers and developers to ensure that AI is not used maliciously.

With the addition of Gemini, Bard is poised to become the world's leading AI collaborator, rivaling current leaders such as ChatGPT. Users can try Bard with Gemini Pro today and experience its powerful capabilities for themselves.
