Google unveiled its take on the AI chatbot -- Google Bard -- last February. Since its release, Bard has been powered by two different large language models (LLMs) with the promise of making it a more formidable rival to ChatGPT. Now Bard gets its most significant LLM upgrade yet -- Gemini. 

On Wednesday, Google released Gemini, the company's most capable and advanced large language model to date, first announced in May at Google I/O. Paired with the release of the LLM was the announcement that--  starting today -- users will be able to experience a specially tuned version of Gemini Pro for English in Google Bard.
