This seems overshadowed by the GPT-4 news, but apparently Google is also releasing PaLM and an API along with "MakerSuite, a tool that lets developers start prototyping quickly and easily."

Not many details yet (perhaps they rushed this out to compete with the GPT-4 announcement?), but some features of the API will include:

• Generation access for an "efficient" PaLM model, starting today
• Parameter-efficient fine-tuning
• Synthetic data generation
• Embeddings
• Built-in "AI Principles"
• Automatic scaling with Google Cloud

And apparently, it's also being incorporated into Google Workspace (Gmail and Google Docs).
