Text Bison

About

Text Bison is an advanced language model developed by Google AI as a refined iteration of the Pathways Language Model (PaLM) 4. It is particularly effective at handling a range of natural language processing tasks, including classification, sentiment analysis, entity extraction, question answering, summarization, and text rewriting 5. The model boasts a substantial token limit, initially set at 4096, later expanded to 32,000, allowing it to process longer texts compared to some earlier models 3. Despite its capabilities, Text Bison shares common large language model limitations, such as training data biases and the potential for generating incorrect or nonsensical outputs 4. Its knowledge is up-to-date only until February 2023 5, and it is scheduled for discontinuation in April 2025 1.
