Feels more like an Apple post "the best fastest blabla-est". How about making it available to try without the fluff?
It's like they hired Apple to do their marketing.
This demo is nuts: https://youtu.be/UIZAiXYceBI?si=8ELqSinKHdlGlNpX
Seems like this video was heavily editorialized, but still impressive.
I asked Bard, "Are you running Gemini Pro now?" And it told me, "Unfortunately, your question is ambiguous. "Gemini Pro" could refer to..." and listed a bunch of irrelevant stuff. Is Bard not using Gemini Pro at time of writing? The blog post says, "Starting today, Bard will use a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more." (EDIT: it is... gave me a correct answer…
Your line of thinking also presupposes that Bard is self aware about that type of thing. You could also ask it what programming language it's written in, but that doesn't mean it knows and/or will answer you.

Surely there are more practical applications?
One observation: Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly, like it's trying too hard to emphasize how long they've been doing AI (which is a weird look when the currently publicly available SOTA model is made by OpenAI, not Google). A better look would simply be to sh…
To add to my comment above: Google DeepMind put out 16 videos about Gemini today, the total watch time at 1x speed is about 45 mins. I've now watched them all (at >1x speed). In my opinion, the best ones are: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIZAiXYceBI - variety of video/sight capabilities * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPwU1FNhMOA - understanding direction of light and plants * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D…
See Table 2 and Table 7 https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/gemini/gemini_... (I think they're comparing against original GPT-4 rather than GPT-4-Turbo, but it's not entirely clear)
What they've released today: Gemini Pro is in Bard today. Gemini Pro will be coming to API soon (Dec 13?). Gemini Ultra will be available via Bard and API "early next year"
Therefore, as of Dec 6 2023:
SOTA API = GPT-4, still.
SOTA Chat assistant = ChatGPT Plus, still, for everything except video, where Bard has capabilities . ChatGPT plus is closely followed by Claude. (But, I tried asking Bard a question about a youtube video today, and it told me "I'm sorry, but I'm unable to access this YouTube content. This is possible for a number of reasons, but the most common are: the content isn't a valid YouTube link, potentially unsafe content, or the content does not have a captions file that I can read.")
SOTA API after Gemini Ultra is out in ~Q1 2024 = Gemini Ultra, if OpenAI/Anthropic haven't released a new model by then
SOTA Chat assistant after Bard Advanced is out in ~Q1 2024 = Bard Advanced, probably, assuming that OpenAI/Anthropic haven't released new models by then
