Gemini (chatbot)

Gemini, formerly known as Bard, is a <a href="/facts/Generative_artificial_intelligence/ykT3GGyT">generative artificial intelligence</a> <a href="/facts/Chatbot/kASkMjs7">chatbot</a> developed by <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a>. Based on the <a href="/facts/Large_language_model/WnogWVJY">large language model</a> (LLM) <a href="/facts/Gemini_(language_model)/eD5D8xBo">of the same name</a>, it was launched in 2023 in response to the rise of <a href="/facts/OpenAI/V7WVK1t4">OpenAI</a>'s <a href="/facts/ChatGPT/ptB1y6J5">ChatGPT</a>. It was previously[when?] based on the <a href="/facts/LaMDA/FUP4B5H7">LaMDA</a> and <a href="/facts/PaLM/wG7N5sz5">PaLM</a> LLMs.
Google's LaMDA, which was announced and developed in 2021, was kept under wraps for fear. OpenAI's unexpected triumph with ChatGPT in November 2022, though, spurred Google to quickly get its employees mobilized and react. This resulted in the partial roll-out of Bard in March 2023, and then to other nations in May. Bard became popular at the 2023 <a href="/facts/Google_I%2fO/dccHXkGF">Google I/O</a> keynote and subsequently upgraded to the Gemini LLM in December. In February 2024, Google brought Bard and Duet AI under the same Gemini brand, introducing an Android app.
Gemini initially received lukewarm responses. It became the center of controversy in February 2024, when social media users reported that it was generating historically inaccurate images of historical figures as people of color, with people commenting on its bias as "<a href="/facts/Wokeness/UqpaQvqB">wokeness</a>".
