Google has released its powerful language model, Gemini Ultra, for use in its AI chatbot. The chatbot, formerly known as Bard, is now called Gemini, and the version featuring Gemini Ultra is named Gemini Advanced.
Google's Gemini language models
Last year, Google introduced its Large Language Models (LLMs) called Gemini, which powers AI chatbots. These models come in three versions: Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Nano.
Gemini Nano is the smallest model, designed to run on smartphones like the Google Pixel 8 Pro. Next is Gemini Pro, which powers the free version of Google Gemini (formerly Bard).
The most powerful model is Gemini Ultra, now used in Gemini Advanced (previously Bard Advanced). This model offers enhanced capabilities and is Google's most powerful LLM available. In India, trying Gemini Advanced costs Rs 1,950 per month, but Google One subscribers may access it for two months at no cost.
