A rival chatbot comes from Google and Yandex
Microsoft came to the fore last month with its $10 billion investment in OpenAI. The company is preparing to revamp its Bing search engine. A new Bing interface with ChatGPT integration appeared recently.
Besides Microsoft, Google and Yandex are also preparing their own alternatives to ChatGPT. While Google’s chatbot is called Bard, the Russian internet giant will build a system around the YaLM 2.0 model.
