In the ever-evolving landscape of AI technologies, Google has been actively keeping pace with its competitors. Following the footsteps of OpenAI’s highly acclaimed ChatGPT, Google introduced Bard, its own AI-driven chatbot. Despite a rocky start marked by a significant blunder, Bard has since found its footing. Now, the tech community is abuzz with the latest development: Google plans to roll out a paid version of Bard in 2024, named “Bard Advanced”.

Details of this new offering emerged via X.com (Twitter), thanks to insights shared by tipster @bedros_p. It appears that Bard Advanced will initially be available for a 3-month free trial. While the monthly subscription cost remains under wraps, speculations suggest that Bard Advanced might integrate with Google One, the subscription service known for offering additional Google Drive storage space.
December 2023 witnessed the launch of Gemini, touted as Google’s most powerful AI model to date. Gemini showcased various iterations, including a Nano version designed for mobile devices and a Pro version powering Bard in the USA. There’s also mention of a Gemini Ultra variant, though it remains shrouded in secrecy for now.
As the tech world eagerly anticipates the formal introduction of Bard Advanced, expected early this year, many are curious about what this new plan will entail and how it will enhance the user experience with Google’s AI offerings.
