bard(RIP) was powered by gemini which was powered by palm2 or something, which was powered by deepmind which was powered by google which was powered by alphabet or sth

Let s hope the name sticks for more than 2 months

I believe it went something like:

    2017: Transformers invented
    2018: BERT
    2020: Meena
    2021: LaMDa -> First model Bard was built on
    2022: PaLM
    2023: PaLM2
    Late 2023: Gemini

It probably would have been clearer if they used simple numerical versioning like OpenAI's GPT-{2,3,3.5,3}. I suppose the idea is to do that with Gemini now.

PALM2 is from then Google Brain I think, DeepMind didn’t bet big on LLM until much latter.
