  • Why Is Google’s Bard AI Chatbox Renamed Gemini? Know Features Of Gemini Advanced And Availability |

    New Delhi: Google recently made several announcements in a blog post, which include renaming its Bard AI chatbot to Gemini, introducing a new Gemini app, and rolling out the Gemini Advanced large language model alongside a premium subscription.

    Bard, previously known as Google’s conversational generative AI assistant, competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It offers users online access to AI capabilities for generating images and text content based on their inputs.

    Do you know why Google took the drastic step of renaming its popular widely-used chatbot to Gemini? CEO Sundar Pichai has recently provided insights into this decision during his latest interaction. 

    Explaining the motive behind the name alteration during an interview with CNBC, Pichai stated, “Gemini represents our overarching strategy for developing our most proficient and secure AI model. Bard served as the primary means for users to engage with our models directly, thus transitioning it to Gemini aligns seamlessly since it directly refers to the underlying Gemini model.” (Also  Read: Vivo Y200e 5G Spotted On Google Play Console, May Launch In India By February End, Check Tipped Specs)

    “I believe it will also serve as the conduit through which we will continuously enhance our models, providing users with a direct experience. Hence, we concluded that the name change was appropriate.”

    Google added a new changelog for Bard, and — oh boy — it’s a big one!

    The availability in Canada is awesome! That said I don’t really understand the limitations with the app. That’s disappointing as someone who lives in Europe.

    In addition to the name change, the changelog screenshot suggests that Google is considering the introduction of a paid ‘Advanced’ tier featuring Gemini Ultra. Similar to OpenAI’s subscription model for its advanced large language model GPT-4, Google is reportedly planning to offer an upgraded version of Gemini at a fee.

    This enhanced version is expected to bring improved multi-modal capabilities, enhanced coding support, and the ability to explore and analyze files and documents more extensively. Furthermore, the release of Gemini is extending to include Canada, marking its first availability in the country since the initial launch.

    Last year, Google introduced its LLM model called Gemini, comprising three versions: Gemini Nano, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Ultra. Google claims that its LLM model can handle intricate tasks such as logical reasoning, coding, interpreting nuanced instructions, and engaging in creative collaboration.

    Google has intentions to release a specialized Gemini application for mobile users. The Gemini app, designed by Google, allows users to leverage Google AI for tasks like learning, writing, and planning directly on their smartphones. This app will integrate with other Google services such as Gmail, Maps, and YouTube. Android users will have a standalone app for Gemini, while iOS users might access it through the Google app.

    As per a leaked Google changelog, the Gemini app is expected to have limited availability which would be accessible only on specific devices. The app will also feature support for additional languages like Japanese, Korean, and English covering most parts of the world, excluding certain European countries and regions.

    Google has future plans to incorporate more countries and languages into the Gemini app. It’s essential to highlight that while Google has not officially confirmed these details, significant announcements are anticipated later this week.
