On: Ask HN: 6 months later. How is Bard doing?

[htrp]

So just in case people forget. Bard initially launched with the lamda model (the one that got that guy fired) [1]

Bard was soundly mocked for how bad it was and they relaunched it with the Palm2 Model[2].

I suspect at some time in the near future, if they haven't done so already, they'll just quietly move Bard's underlying language model to Gemini.

By their own admission, they launched with a much smaller model than the one the got the guy fired.

would it really be quiet ? They do say they updated the model today though and i'm curious about that

I'm a layman, what's the difference between those models?
