<p data-block-key="1i5at">Last December, Google brought <a href="https://blog.google/products/bard/google-bard-try-gemini-ai/" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://blog.google/products/bard/google-bard-try-gemini-ai/";}">Gemini Pro into Bard</a> in English, giving Bard more advanced understanding, reasoning, summarizing and coding abilities. Now, Gemini Pro in Bard will be available in <a href="https://support.google.com/bard/answer/13575153?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://support.google.com/bard/answer/13575153?hl=en";}">over 40 languages and more than 230 countries and territories</a>, so more people can collaborate with this faster, more capable version of Bard.</p>
<p data-block-key="2hj37">The Large Model Systems Organization, a leading evaluator of language models and chatbots across languages, <a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboard" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboard";}">recently shared</a> that Bard with Gemini Pro is one of the most preferred chatbots available (with or without cost), <a href="https://twitter.com/lmsysorg/status/1750921228012122526?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://twitter.com/lmsysorg/status/1750921228012122526?s=20";}">noting</a> that it has made a “stunning leap” forward. And blind evaluations with our third-party raters identified Bard with Gemini Pro as one of the top-performing conversational AIs, compared to leading free and paid alternatives.</p>
<p data-block-key="2hj37">For an extra creative boost, you can now generate images in Bard in <a href="https://support.google.com/bard?p=b_gen_img" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://support.google.com/bard?p=b_gen_img";}">English</a> in most countries around the world, at no cost. This new capability is powered by the updated <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-imagen-2" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-imagen-2";}">Imagen 2 model</a>, which is designed to balance quality and speed, delivering high-quality, photorealistic outputs. Just type in a description — like “create an image of a dog riding a surfboard” — and Bard will generate custom, wide-ranging visuals to help bring your idea to life.</p>
<p data-block-key="2hj37">To ensure there’s a clear distinction between visuals created with Bard and original human artwork, Bard uses <a href="https://deepmind.google/technologies/synthid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-analytics-onclick="{";event";:";page interaction";,";category";:";in-article links";,";action";:";link click";,";label";:";https://deepmind.google/technologies/synthid/";}">SynthID</a> to embed digitally identifiable watermarks into the pixels of generated images.</p>
<p data-block-key="2hj37">Google says there are technical guardrails and investments in the safety of training data seek to limit violent, offensive or sexually explicit content. Additionally, we apply filters designed to avoid the generation of images of named people. We’ll continue investing in new techniques to improve the safety and privacy protections of our models.</p>
