Google is set to revolutionize its language model game with an upcoming upgrade to Bard called “Bard Advanced.” This advanced version is expected to be available through a paid subscription on Google One, marking a significant step forward in the realm of large language models (LLM).

Developer Dylan Roussel, sharing insights on the upgrade, suggests that Google Bard Advanced will be powered by Gemini Ultra, the pinnacle of Google’s newly introduced large language model. This represents a notable enhancement over the current Bard version, which utilizes the midtier Gemini Pro. The screenshots shared by Roussel describe Bard Advanced as a “more capable large language model with advanced math and reasoning skills.”
Innovative features
Roussel’s exploration also unveiled intriguing features, including a codenamed Motoko that enables users to create custom bots. While the sharing aspect remains uncertain, it poses an exciting possibility. Another potential addition is the “power-up” feature, leveraging AI to enhance user prompts fed to Bard. The inclusion of a “Gallery” section hints at exploring different topics with Bard, opening up new dimensions of interaction.
Enhancing user experience
Among the revealed tweaks, a “tasks” tab may allow users to track Google Bard’s progress on longer assignments like image generation. Furthermore, a custom background addition to shared Bard prompts adds a personal touch to the interactions.

Google’s ongoing efforts to upgrade Bard, including real-time responses and enhanced capabilities, highlight its commitment to staying competitive in the dynamic landscape of language models alongside ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot.
