LLM Gemini Ultra will be used by the new system.
Google is planning to release Bard Advanced, which may be the first time the corporation has attempted to charge for an artificial intelligence chatbot. There is a coupon on the Bard website that provides the possibility to receive three months of Bard Advanced for free, which suggests that after that period of time, it will be available for purchase. Bedros Pamboukian, a user of X (which was formerly known as Twitter), posted the code that was uncovered, which also includes a link to a disabled Google One account. The implication of this is that customers will be required to purchase a subscription to Google One in order to gain access to Bard Advanced.
hi, bard advanced will be free for 3 months and you'll need Google One too, enjoysies

the fact that it's in prod implies it's ready & being tested (currently an experiment)
again, not a leaker, but Google keeps putting stuff in plain sight and literally nobody realizes… pic.twitter.com/YqfAK77f0F
In December of 2023, Google made the initial announcement of Bard Advanced, which was also an AI hypercomputer from Google Cloud and a new artificial intelligence large language model called Gemini. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, revealed in a blog post that Gemini is the most competent model that the company has ever developed. Gemini has the ability to “seamlessly understand and reason about all kinds of inputs from the ground up,” which is significantly better than several multimodal models that are already in use. Gemini comes in three different sizes: Gemini Ultra, Gemini Nano, and Gemini Pro. Bard is the one that uses the Gemini Pro size. Google has claimed that Gemini Ultra will be the driving force behind Bard Advanced, despite the fact that it is not yet available to the general public.
There is no information that has been confirmed as of the time of this writing on the availability of Bard Advanced; however, the code that was cited above indicates that it might be connected to Google One (although it is not obvious what membership tier would be necessary). At the moment, Google is conducting evaluations of its capabilities with a select set of users, which may also be the reason why the code is exposed. It is not yet known when exactly Bard Advanced will be made accessible to the public; however, Google stated in December that it would be available “early next year,” which means that it might be released at any time.
