Description:
Bard Advanced will be accessible through a Google One subscription and may
see the introduction of new features.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The release of Google Bards Advanced tier may be coming sooner than people expected, according to a recent leak, and what's more, it wont be free.

Well, its not a leak per se; the company left a bunch of clues on its website that anybody could find if you know where to look. Thats how developer Bedros Pamboukian on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) found lines of code hinting at the imminent launch of Bard Advanced. Whats interesting is the discovery reveals the souped-up AI will be bundled with Google One , and if you buy a subscription, you can try it out as part of a three-month trial.

There is a bit of hype surrounding Bard Advanced because it will be powered
by Googles top-of-the-line Gemini Ultra model. In an announcement post from this past December , the company states Gemini Ultra has been designed to
deal with highly complex tasks and accept multimodal inputs. This possibility is backed up by another leak from user Dylan Roussel on X claiming the
chatbot will be capable of advanced math and reasoning skills.

Its unknown which Google One tier people will have to buy to gain access or
if there will be a new one for Bard Advanced. Neither leak reveals a price tag. But if we had to take a wild guess, you may have to opt for the $10 a month Premium plan. Considering the amount of interest surrounding the AI, it would make sense for Google to put up a high barrier for entry. Potential features

Going back to the Roussel leak, it reveals a lot of other features that may
or may not be coming to Google Bard. Things might change or they may never land at all.

First, it may be possible to create customized bots using the AIs tool. There is very little information about them. We dont know what they do or if theyre shareable. The only thing we do know is the bots are collectively codenamed Motoko.

Next, it appears Bard will receive a couple of extra tools. You have Gallery, a set of publicly viewable prompts on a variety of topics users can check out for brainstorming ideas. Then theres Tasks. Roussel admits he couldnt find many details about it, but to his understanding, itll be used to manage long-running tasks such as image generation. 5. Sharing Background/ForegroundThis one is pretty explicit. Although, while my screenshots are showing what "Foreground" looks like, it doesn't show "Background." pic.twitter.com/hWHi95U3h3 January 4, 2024 See more

Speaking of generating images, the third feature allows users a way to create backgrounds and foregrounds for smartphones and website banners. The last
one, called Power Up, is said to be able to improve text prompts. Once again, theres little information to go on. We dont know how the backgrounds can be made (if thats whats going on) or what powering up a text prompt even looks like. It's hard to say for sure.

Users probably wont have to wait for very long to get the full picture. Given the fact these were hidden on Googles website, the official rollout must be just around the corner.

2024 is shaping up to be a big year for artificial intelligence, especially when it comes to the likes of Google Bard and its ChatGPT. If you want to
