Bard is now known as Gemini, with a mobile app and an Advanced experience that gives you access to our most capable AI model, Ultra 1.0.
Today we’re launching Gemini Advanced — a new experience that gives you access to Ultra 1.0, our largest and most capable state-of-the-art AI model. In blind evaluations with our third-party raters, Gemini Advanced with Ultra 1.0 is now the most preferred chatbot compared to leading alternatives.
With our Ultra 1.0 model, Gemini Advanced is far more capable at highly complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions and collaborating on creative projects. Gemini Advanced not only allows you to have longer, more detailed conversations; it also better understands the context from your previous prompts.
I'm kind of baffled how frequently Bard refuses to help at all. I can copy and paste the same exact prompt into ChatGPT and get a fairly good response. But fairly regularly Bard will start to give a reply and then just stop halfway through and be like "I can't help you."
