Enter PaLM 2 (New Bard): Full Breakdown - 92 Pages Read and Gemini Before GPT 5? Google I/O (1 month old yt vid)

Google puts it foot on the accelerator, casting aside safety concerns to not only release a GPT 4 -competitive model, PaLM 2, but also announce that they are already training Gemini, a GPT 5 competitor [likely on TPU v5 chips]. This is truly a major day in AI history, and I try to cover it all.

I'll show the benchmarks in which PaLM (which now powers Bard) beats GPT 4, and detail how they use SmartGPT-like techniques to boost performance. Crazily enough, PaLM 2 beats even Google Translate, due in large part to the text it was trained on. We'll talk coding in Bard, translation, MMLU, Big Bench, and much more.
