LLM Changelog

Bard is available for more age groupsWhat:Bard is expanding access to teens in most countries around the world, starting with English. We’ve added age-appropriate protections, updated onboarding for teens, and developed experiences geared to empower exploration and learning with Bard. Want to learn more about generative AI and its abilities and limitations?Learn about generative AI.Why:We believe Bard can be a helpful tool for teens when they need a little extra inspiration and motivation on their ideas, hobbies, and plans, or when they want to better understand topics quickly in a style that works for them. Whether it's learning homework concepts or getting support through big milestones like applying to their first job or preparing for college, Bard can help.Get help with math equations on BardWhat:Getting stuck on that math equation? Starting with English, Bard can give you step-by-step explanations to the problem, so you can solve similar ones in the future. Just ask Bard, or take a photo of the question and upload it.Why:To learn math effectively, it is important to deeply understand the concept and to practice often. Bard helps you understand and practice new math concepts by giving you not only the solution, but by showing you how to approach solving each one of them.Bard helps you visualize dataWhat:Starting with English, Bard can generate charts from data you include in your prompts or from tables that Bard generates during your conversations.Why:Charts provide a visual way to understand data that you’re interested in learning more about.

You can now create custom versions of ChatGPT that combine instructions, extra knowledge, and any combination of skills. Learn more here.
We’re rolling out custom versions of ChatGPT that you can create for a specific purpose—called GPTs. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others. For example, GPTs can help you learn the rules to any board game, help teach your kids math, or design stickers.
Plus and Enterprise users can start creating GPTs this week. Later this month, we’ll launch the GPT Store, so people can feature and make money from their GPTs. We plan to offer GPTs to more users soon.

Bard’s responses can now appear in real timeWhat:We’re launching a new setting that lets Bard’s responses show while in progress, so you don’t have to wait for the full response to appear.Why:Bard is here to accelerate your creative process. Now you can start reading responses while they’re still generating, so you can stay in the creative flow and iterate on your ideas faster.

Bard can now summarize more of your emailsWhat:When you use the Workspace Extension, Bard can now summarize more emails at a time. It can also better understand when you ask for recent emails.Why:We are taking a small step to improve quality and make the Workspace Extension more useful by summarizing more of your emails. Sometimes you just need an update, so we’re improving the way Bard can understand when you need the latest emails.Your shared conversations now support uploaded imagesWhat:When you share a conversation that has an image as part of the prompt, the image will now also be visible.Why:Adding an image to your prompt can take your creativity to new heights. Now that others can see the image you used in your prompt, they will be able to better appreciate your creative process and continue the conversation with Bard in their own way.

We’ve integrated DALL·E 3 with ChatGPT, allowing it to respond to your requests with images. From a simple sentence to a detailed paragraph, ask ChatGPT what you want to see and it will translate your ideas into exceptionally accurate images.
To use DALL·E 3 on both web and mobile, choose DALL·E 3 in the selector under GPT-4. The message limit may vary based on capacity.

Help Bard improve side by sideWhat:We’ve added a new way for you to give feedback. When Bard occasionally responds with 2 drafts side by side, select the draft you prefer. You can also indicate no preference or opt out entirely.Why:Real-world feedback helps Bard improve the quality of its responses. Your feedback on Bard drafts contributes to making Bard better for yourself and others.
