Google is set to launch Bard Advanced, an AI chatbot, which may be the company's first attempt to charge for an AI chatbot. The code on Bard's website offers a three-month free trial, but users will need to purchase a Google One subscription to access it. Bard Advanced was first announced in December 2023 alongside the Gemini AI large language model and an AI hypercomputer from Google Cloud. Gemini is Google's most capable model, capable of understanding and reasoning about inputs from the ground up. Bard Advanced will use the Gemini Ultra, which is not publicly available yet. The code suggests Bard Advanced could be tied to Google One, but no details have been confirmed. Google is currently testing its capabilities with a small group, which may be why the code is visible. There is no exact release date for Bard Advanced, but it was announced in December that it would be available "early next year," so it could launch at any time.
