Google's Bard chatbot got a big upgrade. It's now powered by Gemini, "the first model to outperform human experts on MMLU (Massive Multitask Language Understanding), one of the most popular methods to test the knowledge and problem solving abilities of AI models". Google compares it directly to GPT-4 in a range of benchmarks, with Gemini coming out on top in the vast majority of them. There's 3 models, Nano, Pro and Ultra. Pro is available now via Bard if you wanna muck around with it, but Ultra is the one with all the impressive benchmarks Google is comparing to GPT-4. Plebs won't get access to Gemini Ultra until Bard Advanced is made public some time next year. If you have any technical knowledge about this stuff (I don't), you might find the white paper on Gemini useful.
