Alphabet CEO sundarpichai says Google Bard is getting an upgrade to compete with ChatGPT
. During the episode, Pichai was asked about Bard, Google’s competitor to Open AI’s ChatGPT. While the reception for Bard has been lukewarm so far, Pichai indicated that the feature could be getting a major boost soon, saying that the company plans to upgrade Bard to “more capable PaLM models” “over the course of the next week.”
“We clearly have more capable models…Pretty soon, perhaps as this [podcast] goes live, we will be upgrading Bard to some of our more capable PaLM models, which will bring more capabilities; be it in reasoning, coding, it can answer maths questions better. So you will see progress over the course of next week.”
Pichai admitted that Bard’s lukewarm reception may be due to the company’s caution in rushing towards more powerful models powering the feature. The CEO said that the current version of Bard uses a “lightweight and efficient version of LaMDA” and that, compared to the current version of ChatGPT, it’s kind of like they took a “souped-up Civic and put it in a race with more powerful cars.
