Google Bard Advance will be the company's advanced AI tool which will support the newly introduced Gemini Ultra architecture. Ultra is part of Google's multimodal AI, Gemini which was announced last year in December. The new AI model is expected to conduct complex tasks in various forms such as text, images, audio, video, and code. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai during the meeting said, “It's (Bard) now powered by Gemini Pro, and it's much more capable at things like understanding, summarizing, reasoning, coding, and planning. It's now in over 40 languages and over 230 countries around the world. Looking ahead, we'll be rolling out an even more advanced version for subscribers powered by Gemini Ultra.”
However, Google did not share any pricing plan for the subscription to Bard Advance. As of now, Bard is available for free for users, but it will pay some fees after the launch of its new AI conversational tool. It is expected that Google may follow the steps of ChatGPT Plus in terms of subscription, therefore, the pricing may fall between $10 and $20 per month.
