Google Changes ChatBot Bard Name: ChatGPT Rival Now Gemini

Google changes chatbot bard name to ‘Gemini’ and LLM Ultra, which ‘outperforms GPT-4’, is also officially released. Google changed the name of its artificial intelligence chatbot Bard to Gemini on the 8th and unveiled Gemini Advanced, a chatbot equipped with Gemini Ultra, the self-proclaimed highest-performance giant language model in existence.

Google is changing the name of its generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ‘Bard’, launched in March last year, to ‘ Gemini ‘. In addition, ‘Gemini Ultra’, the most powerful language model (LLM) developed so far, and a higher version chatbot equipped with it are also being released. The real battle between Google and Open AI for the top spot begins now.

Google’s decision to completely abandon the name Bard, which it has been using for the past year to coincide with the launch of Gemini Ultra, contains the message of ‘starting anew.’ In the tech industry, there is an assessment that Google discards Bard and rebrands as ‘Gemini.’

On the 8th (local time), Google CEO Sundar Pichai posted an article titled ‘The next chapter of the Gemini era’ on his blog and said, “Now Bard will be called Gemini. Furthermore, last August, Google officially dubbed its generative AI, which is utilized in business tools like Gmail (email service), Google Docs (document creation tool), and Google Sheets (spreadsheet editor), as ‘Gemini for Google Space’. The names of virtually all of Google’s generated AI products and services are unified under a single brand, Gemini.

Google also officially launched Gemini Ultra, the highest version of Gemini LLM, which was released in December of last year. Gemini LLM was developed in three versions depending on size and performance, but Google delayed the release of only Ultra, the most powerful and heaviest of the three, until early this year. CEO Pichai said, “The version of the chatbot that includes Ultra will be called ‘Gemini Advanced.’ Anyone can use it by signing up for a paid subscription.” The paid subscription plan, which includes access to Gemini Advanced, costs $19.99 per month. You can sign up in Korea starting today, but for the time being, the service is only available in English.

Gemini paid version is $0.01 cheaper than ChatGPT In today’s announcement, Google did not once mention ChatGPT. However, it has been revealed in many places that they are quite conscious of open AI. CEO Pichai said, ” Gemini Ultra is the first model to surpass human experts in ‘Massive Multi-Task Language Understanding (MMLU)’, a test that measures knowledge and problem-solving ability in 57 subjects including physics, law, medicine, and ethics. “ He said. In fact, this means that it surpasses Open AI’s LLM ‘ GPT-4 ‘, which has been evaluated as the best so far.

Dividing the chatbot into a free version and a paid version and setting the price of the paid subscription at $19.99 also appears to be aimed at open AI. Open AI offers ChatGPT, which is equipped with GPT-3.5, for free, and charges $20 per month for the version with better performance (ChatGPT Plus), which is equipped with GPT-4. Google is the ‘original AI powerhouse’ that introduced the power of AI to the world with Alpha Go in 2016. However, as ChatGPT, launched at the end of 2022, became a global sensation, it was relegated to being a latecomer overnight.

They hurriedly released Bard, a rival to ChatGPT, but it has been evaluated as being inferior in performance to ChatGPT. From Google’s perspective, Gemini Ultra and its companion Gemini Advanced are its secret weapons that will restore its battered pride. This is the first time that Google has released a product with better performance than Open AI, and the battle for AI supremacy between the two companies is expected to become more intense. There are predictions that the battle for AI supremacy between the two companies will become more intense.

Open AI is also taking a quick step toward commercialization. “It looks like an AI assistant will be released.” The competition to commercialize AI that consumers can feel is also expected to heat up. Google plans to sequentially apply Gemini to search and Chrome (web browser). In response to this, Open AI is also preparing to launch a so-called AI assistant that understands the user’s computer as a whole and automatically runs necessary programs or writes documents and creates a travel itinerary according to the user’s taste and budget.
