Google launches its ChatGPT competitor called Bard

Google on Monday launched its ChatGPT competitor called Bard. Bard is designed as an'experimental conversational AI service' that answers users' queries and participates in conversations. CEO Sundar Pichai announced a soft launch to select'trusted testers' to get feedback before a public release in the coming weeks. While Google has yet to release more details, the company shows that users can ask Bard queries, like'how to explain new discoveries from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old' or'plan a friend's baby shower.' The initial release of Bard uses the tech giant's lightweight model version of LaMDA, which requires significantly less computing power, enabling us to scale to more users and allowing for more feedback.
