Google is set to release its latest chatbot, Bard Advance, in the near future. This upgraded AI model is anticipated to surpass the previous version, Google Bard, which now operates on Gemini Pro. With the imminent arrival of Bard Advance, several tech analysts have speculated that Google might introduce a subscription service, given its integration with the highly advanced Gemini Ultra AI model. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has now confirmed these predictions, revealing plans for a subscription-based offering for the forthcoming AI chatbot. Presently, Bard is available for free, but further information can be found here.

Google Bard Advance is the company’s advanced AI tool that supports the newly introduced Gemini Ultra architecture. Ultra is part of Google’s multimodal artificial intelligence, Gemini, which was announced in December last year. The new AI model is expected to perform complex tasks in various formats such as text, images, audio, video and code. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said during the meeting, “It (Bard) now runs on Gemini Pro and is much better at understanding, summarizing, inferring, coding and designing. It is now available in over 40 languages and over 230 countries around the world. In the future, we will release subscribers to an even more advanced version with Gemini Ultra.”
However, Google did not share the pricing plan for the Bard Advance subscription. Bard is currently available for free to users, but will charge some fees after the release of its new AI chat tool. Google is expected to follow the steps of ChatGPT Plus in terms of subscription, so pricing could drop by $10-$20 per month.
