Google Announces New Generative AI Lineup In Advance Of Microsoft's Rumored GPT-4 Debut
VentureBeat, March 14th, 2023
Google announced a laundry list of new generative AI capabilities and features for developers, through a PaLM API and in Google Cloud, as well as new integrations for users of Google Workspace, including in Gmail and Google Docs.
The announcements come just a month after Google unveiled its search chatbot Bard and less than a week after Bloomberg reported that a new internal Google directive 'requires generative AI to be incorporated into all of its biggest products within months.'
The news also appears in advance of Microsoft's highly-anticipated virtual 'Future of Work with AI' event this Thursday. Thanks to comments last week by Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun, that event is rumored to include the release a multimodal GPT-4, as well as a ChatGPT upgrade for Microsoft 365 applications such as Word and Outlook.
