While Microsoft was confidently launching its new versions of Bing and Edge, Google was hurriedly rushing out Bard press releases and fending off questions about a factual error spotted in one of Bard's answers. There's no doubt who won this week's PR battle in AI-powered search. The initial version, PaLM, was trained on 540 billion language parameters, and though Google hasn't stated how many PaLM 2 has been trained on it promises improved capabilities in addition to faster and more efficient performance. Its current language model and a direct answer to OpenAI's GPT-4 model is called PaLM 2. Google's Bard, meanwhile, is based on a 'lightweight' model version of LaMDA. The new Bing is also already out in the wild, and Microsoft's opened a waitlist for it (go to Bing and click on the Chat menu). Microsoft's Bing and Edge are connected to a 'next-generation' OpenAI model that's apparently more powerful than ChatGPT. While the tech giants' technologies and user interfaces for AI-powered search look similar, Microsoft is clearly a step ahead when it comes to rollout. In Bing, there are two ways to talk to this AI assistant. This week, Microsoft introduced a new Bing search engine and Edge web browser that benefit from what it calls your "AI-powered copilot for the web". Both work in similar ways, with the new features complementing, rather than replacing, the traditional search bar. Google is finally opening up more about how its AI-powered search tools work, which was something Microsoft initially had over the other tech giant.
