Straight from Sundar himself in https://blog.google/technology/ai/bard-google-ai-search-upda...

> We’re releasing it initially with our lightweight model version of LaMDA. This much smaller model requires significantly less computing power

Translation: we cannot release our full model because it costs too much. We are giving the world a cheap and worse version due to cost cutting.

> It’s critical that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way. That’s why we’re committed to developing AI responsibly

Translation: we value responsible AI so much that we'd nerf the capability of the AI to be "responsible"

If someone more ambitious than Sundar were to be CEO I'm sure the recent events would turn out very differently.

ChatGPT is also lighweight model, but it visibly outperforms Bard.
