- R · What Makes It Special
- Google's PaLM 2 (May 10, 2023), its next-generation language model with stronger multilingual, reasoning and coding skills: trained more heavily on text in over 100 languages, it passes advanced language proficiency exams at the 'mastery' level, and pre-training on public source code helps it in Python and JavaScript as well as Prolog, Fortran and Verilog. It came in four sizes (Gecko, Otter, Bison and Unicorn), powered Bard's expansion to new languages, and spawned Med-PaLM 2 and Sec-PaLM.
