Unveiled at the beginning of December 2023, Gemini Pro, the artificial intelligence model signed by Google, was initially inaccessible in France. The company is announcing today that this competitor to OpenAI’s GPT-4 is now officially available in all countries where Google Bard is deployed, with support for all associated languages.
Gemini Pro now speaks French
In other words, Bard being present in France, Gemini Pro becomes accessible there in the language of Molière. Positioned as a direct competitor to GPT-4, Gemini Pro is praised by Google for its effectiveness in understanding, summarizing, reasoning, coding and planning.
Google is also extending the Check Answer feature to the French language. Integrated into Google tools, this function allows users to submit information found on the Internet to AI for verification. Bard analyzes the query and indicates whether the content found online confirms it or not.
Generate visuals for free with Google Bard
At the same time, Google announces that generating images in Bard, using the Imagen 2 model, is now free for everyone. However, it is important to note that prompts for this task must always be entered in English.
Ethically, Google is taking the lead in adhering to principles related to AI and image generation. The Mountain View firm specifies that Bard uses SynthID to integrate digitally identifiable watermarks into the pixels of the generated illustrations. This measure aims to allow the distinction between a human work and a visual generated by AI.
