On February 1, 2024, Google is expanding Bard's latest features, such as Gemini Pro within Bard, to additional languages and regions. Additionally, they are introducing image generation to assist users in bringing their ideas to fruition.
In December of last year, Google integrated Gemini Pro into Bard in English, enhancing Bard's comprehension, logical processing, summarization, and coding skills. Today, Gemini Pro within Bard is launching in over 40 languages and spanning more than 230 countries and territories, enabling a broader audience to engage with this upgraded, swifter iteration of Bard for collaborative endeavors.
The Large Model Systems Organization, renowned for assessing language models and chatbots in various languages, has recently stated that Bard equipped with Gemini Pro stands out as one of the most favored chatbots, regardless of cost. They highlighted its remarkable advancement, describing it as a "stunning leap" forward. Furthermore, independent blind evaluations conducted by our third-party assessors have recognized Bard with Gemini Pro as one of the highest-performing conversational AIs when compared to prominent free and paid alternatives.
Verify your replies across multiple languages
Recognizing the desire for users to verify Bard's responses, we're enhancing our double-check feature, already utilized by millions in English, to encompass over 40 languages. Upon clicking the "G" icon, Bard will assess if web content corroborates its response. If verifiable, users can click highlighted phrases to explore additional information supporting or contradicting Bard's response found through Search.
Give life to your concepts with image creation
To enhance your creativity, you can now generate images within Bard in English, accessible in most countries globally, free of charge. This enhanced capability is driven by our refined Imagen 2 model, meticulously crafted to maintain a balance between quality and speed, resulting in photorealistic outputs of high caliber. Simply input a description, such as "produce an image of a dog surfing," and Bard will craft personalized, diverse visuals to breathe life into your ideas.
Aligned with Google's AI Principles, image generation was developed with a focus on responsibility. To maintain transparency and distinguish between visuals generated with Bard and original human artwork, Bard employs SynthID. This technology embeds digitally identifiable watermarks into the pixels of generated images, ensuring clear differentiation.
Google's technical safeguards and commitments to data safety aim to mitigate the presence of violent, offensive, or sexually explicit content. Furthermore, Google implements filters to prevent the generation of images featuring identifiable individuals. They have declared their ongoing investment in innovative techniques to enhance the safety and privacy measures of their models.
These enhancements further solidify Bard as an increasingly valuable and universally accessible AI partner, assisting with endeavors ranging from significant creative projects to routine tasks. Explore its capabilities today at bard.google.com.
