Google is known to be open source and accessible with its product offerings. Even their AI-powered chatbot, Google Bard, is free to use for anyone who has a Google account, but it looks like the tech giant is all set to break the mould with their upcoming offering, Google Bard Advanced. Much like GPT-4, The new version of Bard is set to be a pay-to-use service with users seemingly requiring a Google One subscription in order to access this new advanced version of the chatbot.
According to internet sleuths, the code behind Google Bard Advanced seems to indicate a 3 month free usage feature, which means all users may be eligible to try the all-new Google Bard Advanced for free for a period of three months, after which, they will be required to pay. If this is true, it is definitely a step up on the likes of GPT-4, which requires you to pay in order to even access the model.
