Google is rolling out the next update for Bard after the recent Gemini Pro upgrade. Bard extensions now support Japanese and Korean languages in addition to English. Extensions allow users to access real-time information from Google apps and services such as YouTube, Hotels, Flights, Maps, Gmail, Docs and Drive. Users can control their privacy settings when using these extensions. In addition, Bard now supports Replit export for 18 programming languages, including C++, Javascript, Ruby, SQL and Swift, up from Python only. According to Google, this update is aimed at the growing number of developers using Bard as a programming tool. The biggest update for Bard may be Gemini Ultra support early next year, bringing the chatbot up to par with GPT-4. It's not clear yet if Google will launch a paid service for Bard with Gemini Ultra like OpenAI for ChatGPT Plus.

ChatGPT celebrated its birthday on November 30, 2023, and Similarweb published this beautiful infographic to mark the occasion. Until May 2023, the chatbot grew rapidly, reaching a peak of 1.8 billion monthly visits. Traffic dropped off in June 2023, but has been rebounding since September 2023 - likely due in part to high school and college students returning from their summer vacations.

With Mixtral 8x7b and Gemini Pro, two of the most interesting new language models have arrived in the Huggingface chatbot arena. Both are said to be on about the same level as GPT-3.5. However, Mixtral 8x7b is available as open source and is potentially cheaper to run. In the arena, both models can compete "side by side" to answer the same questions or tasks. Interestingly, Mixtral 8x7b is currently ahead of Gemini Pro in the Chatbot Arena leaderboard and tied with GPT-3.5 Turbo. But the differences in points are small.
