Looks like the Google Bard Advanced tier might hit the scene sooner than anticipated, and surprisingly, it won’t be offered for free. It’s not exactly a hidden secret; Google left some clues on their website for anyone observant enough to notice. Bedros Pamboukian, a developer, stumbled upon these clues on X (previously known as Twitter), uncovering lines of code hinting at the imminent launch of Bard Advanced. Word has it that this enhanced AI will be paired with Google One, potentially offering a three-month trial upon subscription purchase.
There’s quite a buzz surrounding Bard Advanced because it’s said to be powered by Google’s top-tier Gemini Ultra model. According to Google’s announcement last December, Gemini Ultra is engineered to handle complex tasks and diverse input styles. Another leak from user Dylan Roussel on X suggests that this chatbot will even handle “advanced math and reasoning skills.”
As for the details, the leaks haven’t spilled the beans on which Google One tier grants access or whether a new tier specifically for Bard Advanced will emerge. Pricing remains undisclosed too. If we had to guess, it might be tied to the $10 a month Premium plan, possibly setting a higher bar for entry given the significant interest in this AI.
The leaks also hint at potential features. It seems users might have the ability to create personalized bots using Bard’s tool, collectively codenamed Motoko. However, specifics about their functions or sharing capabilities are scarce.
Furthermore, there are whispers about Gallery, a repository of prompts across various topics for brainstorming, and Tasks, seemingly designed for managing longer tasks like image generation. But details on these functionalities are rather limited.
Another interesting feature on the horizon involves the ability to create backgrounds and foregrounds for smartphones and website banners. Additionally, there’s mention of Power Up, supposedly enhancing text prompts. But the specifics on how these functions operate remain elusive.
Given these uncovered details on Google’s website, it seems the official rollout might be just around the corner. With 2024 shaping up as a significant year for AI advancements, both Google Bard and its counterpart, ChatGPT, are gearing up for substantial progress.
