Google updates language model to boost AI creativity

- By Adeyemi Adepetun

GOOGLE has announced new updates to its artificial intelligen­ce ( AI)- powered language model, Bard, now Gemini Pro, which will ensure that more creativity is unleashed.

Google explained that users can now generate images in Bard in most countries and use Gemini Pro in any language, country and territory where Bard is currently supported.

For emphasis, Bard is now Gemini with two visible changes, including the name and the URL.

Previously available in English, the language model powering Bard, Gemini Pro, now supports over 40 languages and is accessible in more than 230 countries.

Google explained that this new developmen­t allows users to leverage Bard’s advanced capabiliti­es for tasks that include enhanced understand­ing and reasoning, improved summarizat­ion as well as streamline­d coding.

Saying that Bard with Gemini Pro is one of the most preferred chatbots available ( with or without cost), Google said Bard has been the best way for people to directly experience “our most capable models. To reflect the advanced tech at its core, Bard will now simply be called Gemini. It’s available in 40 languages on the web and is coming to a new Gemini app on Android and on the Google app on IOS.

“The version with Ultra will be called Gemini Advanced, a new experience far more capable at reasoning, following instructio­ns, coding, and creative collaborat­ion. For example, it can be a personal tutor, tailored to your learning style. Or it can be a creative partner, helping you plan a content strategy or build a business plan. You can read more in this post.” While noting that developers have been fundamenta­l to every major technology shift and will play an equally important role in the Gemini ecosystem, Google said hundreds of thousands of developers and businesses have already been building with Gemini models.
