Bard and PaLM 2: Google’s Bet on Generative AI
Google launched Bard in February 2023 with PaLM 2 as its answer to ChatGPT, unveiling the model in May the same year in four sizes: Gecko, Otter, Bison, and Unicorn. PaLM 2 competes with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 on benchmarks like MMLU and BIG-bench, but Google's real edge is Workspace integration, not the model itself.
