Google Bard has been Google’s answer to the GPT wars. In recent times we have had Chat GPT taking the world by storm and then we had a lot of different free as well as paid models which fuelled the whole AI wars.
Google has been trying to play catch up with OpenAI till now and we have seen this happen in real time with less than complete launches.
Amidst all this Google has now rebranded their Bard AI tool as Gemini. Earlier they had released the Gemini AI model by the end of 2023 which was only available for Pro users but the situation seems different now.
Now is Gemini entirely different from Bard, no that’s not the case but it does improve upon all the features that Bard already had.
Here are the exact release updates posted by Google on the Gemini website.
