Happy Sunday!

Welcome to the second edition of 10X AI, where I look at recent AI developments, tools, and tips with a focus on beginner users.

Let’s dive right in.

AI news

Here are this week’s AI developments.

1. Bard’s a pro coder now?

Google’s Bard may be lackluster when compared to GPT-4 on language tasks…but perhaps it’ll have better luck helping you code? At least Google thinks so. The company apparently injected a bit of coding magic into Bard, claiming it should now be able to help with code generation and debugging:

We’re launching these capabilities in more than 20 programming languages including C++, Go, Java, Javascript, Python and Typescript. And you can easily export Python code to Google Colab — no copy and paste required.

Sadly, I’m in Denmark, so I have the distinct pleasure of seeing this message:

Error message from Google Bard stating Bard is not supported in your country

So if you’re in the US and get your hands on Bard, I’d be curious to hear how it actually fares when it comes to coding tasks.

2. Track Anything lets you track…anything

Just two weeks …
