Google Bard praises Orca as “a very promising development in the field of AI”
Microsoft Orca LLM can beat ChatGPT and Google Bard is aware of it and expects the same.
Google likes the Orca is open-source.
We have also asked Bard if it considers Orca a threat. Let’s see its response.
We asked Google Bard what it thinks of Microsoft Orca. It not only responded (while ChatGPT didn’t), but it also has a positive opinion. Let’s see what Bard has to say about Orca.
We first asked what’s Bard’s take on Orca LLM.
Hey Google Bard, what do you think of Orca?
Google Bard was firstly confused about Orca LLM and another Microsoft tool by the same name which was used to customize MSI packages. It said it is not aware of any relation between Microsoft Orca and the Orca LLM model.
When I clarified I want to know about Orca LLM, Bard said Orca is “a significant development in the field of AI”.
It even said Orca has “the potential to challenge the dominance of GPT-4”.
Bard also listed down the things it likes about Orca:
1. Orca is open-source which means it can be used and modified by anyone. That is better for research and development. It can also open up the scope for new applications. LLM developers can also use it to cook custom specialized apps.

2. It highlights the use of explanation traces by Orca to learn from GPT-4 and other bigger LLMs. Explanation traces is like a map or record of all the steps taken by an LLM as it generates text or a response. It lets Orca know what a word or phrase means, and what action it should take based on those string of words.
3. It notes how the smaller size of the Orca makes it more efficient and scalable.
Is Orca a threat to Bard?
Bard thinks these differences make it and Orca complementary tools. While Orca offers efficiency and scalability (as aforementioned), Bard is confident that it will be better at tasks that require power and flexibility.

We agree with Bard that healthy competition is good for the AI industry and we look forward to what developers do with Orca.
