Google Bard Advanced: All you need to know
“Bard Advanced,” a new version of Bard that Google appears to be developing. The caveat is that it won’t be given away for free. Developer Dylan Roussel has stated on X (formerly Twitter) that this updated Bard will need a Google One subscription.
Bard’s existing engine, Gemini Pro, will be replaced with a more potent one called Gemini Ultra as part of Google’s new large language model (LLM) as part of the upgrade. According to Roussel, this would enable Bard’s commercial version to have more sophisticated mathematical and thinking abilities. Additionally, Roussel revealed the existence of Motoko, a tool that might allow players to design custom bots and customize the game. The question that has to be addressed at this point is whether or not users can freely share these bots or if there is a cost involved.
Additionally, TRoussel found what may be a “power-up” feature. This function makes better Bard prompts by using AI. There has also been discussion on a “Gallery” part, which is thought to let users experiment with Bard’s features and investigate various subjects. Additional changes include the option to add unique backdrops to shared Bard prompts and a new “tasks” tab to assist in keeping track of Bard’s longer tasks, such as making graphics.
It’s interesting to note that Google India is presently discounting its Google One subscription by up to 70%. This reduces the price of the 100GB plan from the usual Rs 130 per month to a meager Rs 35 per month. Similarly, the 200GB package will now only cost Rs 50 per month instead of the previous Rs 210. During this introductory period, the premium 2TB Drive plan, which is normally priced at Rs 650 per month, is available for just Rs 160 per month.
However, it’s important to remember that these special prices are only available for a three-month period. Users will have to pay the standard fee for these membership plans when this discount time ends.
