Google already has a ChatGPT alternative called Bard available for you to use today. Bard, for those unaware, is based on Google's PaLM 2 model and has grown in capabilities since it was unveiled earlier this year. Google aims to further supercharge its conversational AI with multimodal capabilities, so it has been working on a next-generation base model called Gemini, which was revealed at Google I/O 2023. However, it seems that development is not going as planned as Gemini's release has been delayed , according to reports.

The latest report from The Information has revealed bad news for Google's big AI project. Questions about the company's roadmap have seemingly surfaced quite often in recent weeks. This report indicates that Gemini AI has a major problem processing input in languages other than English. Support for multiple languages is critical to Gemini's global success.

Google had talked at length about the latest PaLM 2 (latest AI model) and Gemini at the I/O 2023 event. Reportedly, access to early versions of Bard with Gemini had been given for testing to some companies that are part of their Google Cloud program. But two weeks ago, the companies were told they shouldn't expect it until the first quarter of 2024 instead. All of this points to major delays with Google's latest Gemini AI.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is moving forward at a breakneck pace and has already launched DALL-E 3 integration into ChatGPT for Plus subscribers. It even plans to release a custom GPT Store next year. Despite all the tumultuous events at OpenAI recently, their roadmap and contributions to AI innovation are going strong. The latest GPT 4 Turbo was presented at the OpenAI DevDay conference. It is not only cheaper to use but also more functional.
