Search engine outfit Google is to charge for Bard Advanced, a "new, top AI experience" that gives users Google's best models and skills.

The outfit says users can "Try Bard Advanced for three months, free." After that, you will have to cough up for the service. A broken link in the code hints that it may be part of Google One, but it's not clear if Bard Advanced will be for all levels or only pricier ones with more Google Drive space. It may be an extra new level in Google One.

For those who came in late, Google showed off its best AI model yet in December 2023, called Gemini. The LLM has three levels, including a Nano one that can run on things like phones and a Pro one that runs Bard in the US.

There is also a Gemini Ultra which is not out yet, but is said to beat other LLMs in nearly all ways. Google says that this is the one that will run Bard Advanced.
