"We finally beat GPT-4! But you can't have it yet." OK, I'll keep using GPT-4 then. Now OpenAI has a target performance and timeframe to beat for GPT-5. It's a race!

Didn't OpenAI already say GPT-5 is unlikely to be a ton better in terms of quality? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35570690

It just has to be good as old gpt-4.

Is it live already at bard.google.com? Just tried it and still useless compared to GPT 3.5.

It depends on your region. In general these things take some time (hours) to go live globally to all enabled regions, and are done carefully. If you come back tomorrow or in a few days it's more likely to have reached you, assuming you're in an eligible region.

It's probably best to wait until the UI actually tells you Bard has been updated to Gemini Pro. Previous Bard updates have had UI announcements so I'd guess (but don't know for sure) that this would have similar.

> Bard with Gemini Pro is rolling out today in English for 170 countries/territories, with UK and European availability “in the near future.” Initially, Gemini Pro will power text-based prompts, with support for “other modalities coming soon.”

Apple lost the PC battle, MS lost the mobile battle, Google is losing the AI battle. You can't win everywhere.

Did they? Last I checked they have the best consumer laptops on the planet.

It’s funny as I’m watching the multimodal demo, the feature I’m hoping for the most is less alignment. I think the crippling of GPT has made it so much less useful than it could be. I don’t know if Google would take a bigger chance with it being the second player and having to catch up but that would be one hell of a differentiator. Less policing. Maybe they could get away with it because they have data on what peopl…

I don’t think that’s the case.

Not impressed with the Bard update so far.

I just gave it a screenshot of yesterday's meals pulled from MyFitnessPal, told it to respond ONLY in JSON, and to calculate the macro nutrient profile of the screenshot.

It flat out refused. It said, "I can't. I'm only an LLM" but the upload worked fine.

I was expecting it to fail maybe on the JSON formatting, or maybe be slightly off on some of the macros, but outright refusal isn't a good look.

FWIW, I used GPT-4 to stitch together tiles into a spritesheet, modify the colors, and give me a download link yesterday. The macros calculation was trivial for GPT-4.

The gap in abilities makes this feel non-viable for a lot of the uses that currently impress me, but I'm going to keep poking.

So it's basically just GPT-4, according to the benchmarks, with a slight edge for multimodal tasks (ie audio, video). Google does seem to be quite far behind, GPT-4 launched almost a year ago.

Gemini looks like a better GPT-4 but without the frequent outages.

What do you mean?

There's a great Mark Rober video of him testing out Gemini with Bard and pushing it to pretty enteraining limits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHZSrtl4zX0
