Behind the Scenes at Bard
|
|
We recently hosted an AMA on our official Discord server and answered your most pressing questions. We’re recapping our favorites here:
|
Q: “How important is punctuation in prompts? Does it help if I enter a prompt
with the correct punctuation, commas, full stops, speech marks, etc, or does
Bard just figure it out? Or maybe only certain are useful like speech marks?” |
|
A: “Punctuation can help in situations where the sentence might otherwise be ambiguous, but will usually have a relatively minor impact on the quality of output, currently. That may change in the future, depending on tuning, but our goal is to have Bard give you the most useful responses for your intent—not just the particular formulation of your answer.”

|
Q: “When will the Bard API be available for the public?”
|
|
A: “No news to share on a Bard API, but we do have chat-bison generally available on GCP in open preview. Chat-bison is a chat-tuned API based on PaLM2, which can be useful in many of the same ways that Bard is, but for building your app or website. There’s plenty more information available about model APIs here.”

Bard’s Discord Community is a private, invite-only server currently limited to a certain capacity. If you are interested in joining, stay tuned, as the community will open up to additional members in the future.
