San Francisco: Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that its AI chatbot Bard is all set to get an update. While acknowledging that Bard currently has weaknesses, he said the new update will give it more reasoning and coding.
He also admitted that launching Bard with LaMDA limited its scope and the new model will not be released before making sure that the company can handle it well.
OpenAI's ChatGPT has seen revolutionary success since its release and Google's chatbot Bard has received mixed reactions. Some people alleged that it is not detailed enough or context-sensitive. Google has now responded to such remarks by saying that all AI products are in "very, very early stages."
"We will have even more capable models to plug in over time. But I don't want it to be just who's there first, but getting it right is very important to us," he said.
Speaking on the New York Times Hard Fork podcast, he said: "We clearly have more capable models. Pretty soon, maybe as this goes live, we will be upgrading Bard to some of our more capable PaLM models, so which will bring more capabilities, be it in reasoning, coding."
"We haven't hooked up Bard to our most capable models yet, and we plan to do it deliberately. And so through this moment, I think we are going to stay balanced, but we are going to innovate. And there is genuine excitement at this moment, so we'll do that," he added.
He said Google wants to be careful when putting out Bard. "It's the beginning of a journey for us. Since this was the first time we were putting out, we wanted to see what type of queries we would get. We obviously positioned it carefully."
