Site is a navigation and branding maze. What is the difference bt bard, gemeni and deepmind? Where do i type questions? How come it can't answer sth this simple?

Oops, your search for “what is a pannus” didn't return any results.

(Chatgpt won't tell me either out of modesty until I reassure it that's a medical term...)

Fancy name, fancy website, charts, people cosplaying as Steve Jobs. This is embarrassing. Hey Google, you guys are presenting a LLM that is at best as good as ChatGPT, but you are like a year late to the party. Maybe shut the f*ck up, marketing wise, and just get people to use it. Bard is just bad right now, let Gemini convince people instead of a fancy marketing page.

The fact that OpenAI has an Android and iOS app out right now is just embarrassing for Google. They couldn't even be bothered to write a Bard/Gemini Flutter app.

On the other hand Gemini does generate Flutter interfaces on the fly when it thinks it's a useful way to show answers and gather more input from the user: https://youtu.be/v5tRc_5-8G4?t=121

Lots of comments about it barely beating GPT-4 despite the latter being out for a while, but personally ill be happy to have another alternative, if nothing else for the competition. But I really dislike these pre-availability announcements - we have to speculate and take their benchmarks for gospel for a week, while they get a bunch of press for unproven claims. Back to the original point though, ill be happier havi…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It doesn't code like human so you would expect it to be better at some kinds of tasks. It brute forces the problems by generating a million solutions and then tries to trim that down, a few problems might be vulnerable to that style of approach.

Are you sure? "brute forces the problems by generating a million solutions and then tries to trim that down" isn't how I would describe the way a LLM works.

That is how it works, read the paper.

Gemini Ultra isn't released yet and is months away still. Bard w/ Gemini Pro isn't available in Europe and isn't multi-modal, https://support.google.com/bard/answer/14294096 No public stats on Gemini Pro. (I'm wrong. Pro stats not on website, but tucked in a paper - https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/gemini/gemini_... ) I feel this is overstated hype. There is no competitor to GPT-4 being released today. I…

Europe has gone to great lengths to make itself an incredibly hostile environment for online businesses to operate in. That's a fair choice, but don't blame Google for spending some extra time on compliance before launching there.

"Hostile?" That's quite a loaded word. How about just "tougher?"

Some people on codeforces (the competitive programming platform that this was tested on) are discussing the model: https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/123035 Seems like they don't believe that it solved the 3200 rated problem ( https://codeforces.com/contest/1810/problem/G ) w/o data leakage For context, there are only around 20 humans above 3200 rating in the world. During the contest, there were only 21 successful su…

Not sure what you tried, but it's not the new model. It hasn't been released, just "release announced".

From the article: > Starting today, Bard will use a fine-tuned version of Gemini Pro for more advanced reasoning, planning, understanding and more. Additionally, when I went to Bard, it informed me I had Gemini (though I can't find that banner any more).

The Bard responses in the chat have a little icon next to them on the left. Mine still says PaLM2, so I'm assuming no Gemini here. (UK/Firefox)

Excuses. ChatGPT available in Europe.

Funny enough, OpenAI to this day violates EU requirements on price advertisement by charging VAT on top of the advertised price. They still owe me and every other customer in the EU ca. $3 VAT for every month I've had the ChatGPT subscription.
