Bard: A Powerful and Versatile LLM Chatbot

Bard is a large language model (LLM) chatbot developed by Google AI. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. Bard is still under development, but it has learned to perform many kinds of tasks, including:

• Following instructions and completing requests thoughtfully.
• Using its knowledge to answer questions in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open ended, challenging, or strange.
• Generating different creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc.

Bard vs. Alternatives

There are a number of other LLM chatbots available, such as GPT-3, Jurassic-1 Jumbo, and Megatron-Turing NLG. However, Bard has a number of advantages over these alternatives.

• Size: Bard is trained on a dataset that is significantly larger than the datasets used to train other LLM chatbots. This means that Bard has a larger vocabulary and a deeper understanding of the world.
• Accuracy: Bard is more accurate than other LLM chatbots at generating text, translating languages, and answering questions. This is because Bard is trained on a dataset that is more representative of the real world.
• Creativity: Bard is more creative than other LLM chatbots at generating different creative text formats. This is because Bard is trained on a dataset that includes a variety of creative text formats.
• Real-time access to Google Search: Bard has real-time access to Google Search, which means that it can access the latest information from the web. This makes Bard more up-to-date than other LLM chatbots that are limited to their own datasets.
• Improved ability to answer open ended, challenging, or strange questions: Bard has been improved to better answer open ended, challenging, or strange questions. This is because Bard is now able to use its knowledge to generate multiple possible answers to a question, and then rank those answers based on their likelihood of being correct.
• More comprehensive and informative answers: Bard’s answers are more comprehensive and informative than the answers of other LLM chatbots. This is because Bard is able to access and process more information from the web, and it is able to use its knowledge to generate more detailed and nuanced answers.
• Better ability to follow instructions: Bard is better able to follow instructions than other LLM chatbots. This is because Bard is able to understand the context of instructions, and it is able to use its knowledge to generate more creative and informative responses.
• More engaging and interactive conversations: Bard is more engaging and interactive than other LLM chatbots. This is because Bard is able to understand the nuances of human conversation, and it is able to generate responses that are more likely to keep users engaged.

Google Bard vs. OpenAI:s ChatGPT

Google and OpenAI are two of the leading companies in the field of artificial intelligence. Both companies have developed powerful LLM chatbots, such as Bard and ChatGPT. However, there are some key differences between the two companies.

Google

• Google is a larger company with more resources. This means that Google has been able to train its LLM chatbots on larger datasets and with more computing power.
• Google is more focused on commercial applications for its LLM chatbots. This means that Bard is designed to be more user-friendly and accessible than ChatGPT.

OpenAI

• OpenAI is a smaller company with fewer resources. This means that OpenAI’s LLM chatbots are trained on smaller datasets and with less computing power.
• OpenAI is more focused on research applications for its LLM chatbots. This means that ChatGPT is designed to be more experimental and cutting-edge than Bard.

Similiarities

• Both are large language models (LLMs): This means that they are both trained on massive datasets of text and code, which allows them to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
  
• Both have access to Google Search: This means that they can access the latest information from the web, which makes them more up-to-date than LLMs that are limited to their own datasets.
  
• Both are still under development: This means that they are both constantly being improved, and they are both likely to become more accurate, creative, and informative over time.

Differences

• Size of training dataset: Bard is trained on a dataset that is significantly larger than the dataset used to train the free version of ChatGPT (GPT 3). GPT-4 the paid version is the largest model in the world currently. It’s trained on 100 trillion parameters and is better than anything released to the market.
  
  Accuracy: ChatGPT 4 is the most accurate solution available at translating languages, coding, drafting and answering questions. This is because ChatGPT is trained on a dataset that is larger and smarter than the ones of Bard. Bard is getting there, they output accurate answers but when compared currently does not come close to GPT-4
  
• Creativity: ChatGPT is more creative than Bard at generating different creative text formats. Bard is more formal and you can tell that it’s Google behind Bard. Everything is focused on professionalism and that might not always be the best thing.
  
• Availability: ChatGPT is available more or less everywhere and Google is slowly but surely rolling out to the masses.
  
• Cost: Both are free to use however the premium version of ChatGPT has a cost associated with it. Google only has a free alternative.

Which company’s LLM chatbot is better?

The best LLM chatbot for you will depend on your needs. If you are looking for a chatbot that is easy to use and has a wide range of capabilities and is FREE, then Bard is probably your best option. If you are looking for a chatbot that is cutting-edge, experimental, and the best player on the market then OpenAI:s ChatGPT is your option.

Ultimately, the best way to decide which company’s LLM chatbot is better is to try them both out and see which one you prefer.

Bard vs. Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI is another LLM chatbot that is gaining popularity. It is similar to Bard in many ways, but there are some key differences.

Similarities

• Both are large language models (LLMs): This means that they are both trained on massive datasets of text and code, which allows them to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
  
• Both have real-time access to Google Search: This means that they can access the latest information from the web, which makes them more up-to-date than LLMs that are limited to their own datasets.
  
• Both are still under development: This means that they are both constantly being improved, and they are both likely to become more accurate, creative, and informative over time.
  

Differences

• Size of training dataset: Bard is trained on a dataset similar to the size of Perplexity AI. The differences are in the training dataset. Both are trained in different ways and therefore offer different kind of answers to the input prompt.
  
• Availability: Bard is publicly available and slowly rolling out to new markets. Perplexity AI is similarly rolling out but is probably more available than Bard at the moment.
  
• Cost: Both are free to use, however there are talks of a paid subscription being necessary for Perplexity AI in the future

Conclusion

So, while there are models out there better than Bard I would still say that Google is pushing for a winning edge in this industry. They have not yet announced a paid version of Bard like the others and if they can keep it free and have updated content in the solution I think that they will take market share slowly but surely. This is one to keep your eyes on and follow for the long haul. Google has also announced full integration into their Google Suite and Google Search for Bard which will be a game changer for anything productivity.
