Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that Bard AI was to go out for testing with a plan to make it more widely available "in the coming weeks".

Google is pitching it as "an outlet for creativity, and a launchpad for curiosity, helping you to explain new discoveries from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old

Much like ChatGPT, Bard would source its responses from a limited version of its base language model in order to reduce computing power and reach a wider audience

Forbes said in an article that ChatGPT will be made available on a standalone basis, and perhaps will be available via an API (application programming interface).

There is no such word about Bard AI. Also, ChatGPT is open to the public for free (though there is a paid version called ChatGPT Plus), but Bard is being offered to a handful of trusted testers.
