It’s a big day for Google and its main AI offerings. Coming from today Gemini Advanced, premium subscription Through Google One, which opens the door to a more powerful Google Bard. This is another one of the changes and Google Bard has stopped calling it Gemini.

This Advanced subscription provides access to Gemini UltraThe most powerful artificial intelligence model of the Gemini family. We’ll tell you what improvements Google is promising with this Advanced subscription and how we got to this point.

A little context to understand Gemini Advanced

To compete with ChatGPT, Google developed Bard, a conversational system based on LaMDA (Language Models for Dialogue Applications), Google’s massive language model. Bard has been operating in Spain since July 2023, but its main developments were limited to the US.

Although Google’s artificial intelligence took its first steps working with LaMDA, in 2022 it started working with PaLM (Pathways Language Model), a more advanced generative model. After LaMDA and After PaLM came Gemini, a multimodal model that is not only based on generative language but can also understand audio, video, and programming code. Gemini had several levels: standard edition, Gemini Pro, Gemini Ultra and Gemini Nano.

Gemini Nano has no Open AI equivalent because it is a lightweight version intended to run on low-power devices. It was a competitor to Gemini GPT, Gemini Pro was a competitor to GPT 3.5, and Gemini Ultra was a competitor to GPT-4.

In short, Gemini Ultra is Google’s most advanced language model andas expected, You’ll have to check it out to reap the benefits.

This is the Gemini Advanced based on the Gemini Ultra

Since we understand the chaos between different versions of Gemini and are clear that Gemini Ultra is Google’s flagship, it’s time to talk about the changes coming from today.

After this, Google Bard’s name has been changed to Gemini. In other words, talking about Gemini is no longer talking about a language model; He’s talking about Google’s own conversational AI. The most powerful Gemini model is Gemini Ultra 1.0, and according to Google, it is “the first model to outperform human experts at MMLU (multitask language compression)” using a combination of 57 threads.

Version Google Bard with Ultra 1.0 is called Gemini Advancedand is tied to the new Google One AI Premium plan. Thanks to its advanced, Gemini can help us write code, become much more powerful when creating images, and ultimately unlock the full potential of Google’s generative AI with both text and multimedia files.

The price set by Google to use Google One AI Premium is 21.99 euros per month, including the same content as Google One Premium as well as access to Gemini Advanced. We’ll soon be able to access Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and other Google products.

This plan is available in Europe, but for now we have it available in English in 150 countries, and over time the plan will be expanded to more languages. In addition to enjoying it on PC, Google has created a dedicated app for Gemini and Gemini Advanced on Android and iOS. The app we won’t be able to enjoy in Europe until further notice.
