Google on Thursday announced major updates to its Bard AI platform in Nigeria, bringing advanced capabilities and innovative features to users in the country.
This update brings three key features: access to the advanced Gemini Pro model, expanded fact-checking capabilities, and a new image generation feature.
These enhancements include access to Gemini Pro, a more advanced AI model, expanded fact-checking capabilities, and a brand new image generation feature.
The update also introduces Nigerians to enhanced AI functionalities in understanding, summarising, reasoning, coding, and planning, setting a new benchmark for AI technology in the region.
According to Google, Bard now integrates Gemini Pro, an advanced AI model that improves its understanding, reasoning, and summarization abilities. This means users can expect more informative and accurate responses, particularly when dealing with complex questions, creative text formats, or coding challenges.
Bard’s fact-checking feature now supports over 40 languages, including Nigerian languages. Users can click on the “G” icon to verify Bard’s responses against information found online, ensuring they have reliable and accurate facts at their fingertips.
Bard introduces a new image generation feature. Users can describe their ideas in English, and Bard will utilise the Imagen 2 model to create stunning, photorealistic visuals. This opens up new avenues for creative exploration and expression, allowing users to bring their visions to life.
Bard with Gemini Pro has been recognized for its excellence and preference among users and experts alike. The Large Model Systems Organization, an evaluator of language models and chatbots, recently highlighted Bard with Gemini Pro as a “stunning leap” forward, ranking it among the top-performing chatbots globally. This recognition is supported by blind evaluations with third-party raters, further establishing its superiority over other free and paid chatbot alternatives.
In addition to English, Gemini Pro in Bard is now available in over 40 languages across more than 230 countries and territories, making it accessible to a broader audience. The double-check feature, previously available in English, has also been expanded to more than 40 languages, allowing users worldwide to corroborate Bard’s responses with web content.
For those looking to harness their creativity, Bard now offers image generation in English in most countries at no cost. Powered by the updated Imagen 2 model, this feature promises high-quality, photorealistic outputs, enabling users to bring their imaginative ideas to life.
Google’s latest update to Bard with Gemini Pro in Nigeria not only enhances the AI’s capabilities but also broadens the possibilities for creative expression and information verification, setting a new standard for AI technology in the country and beyond.
