After announcing it last year, Google has launched its most capable large language model (LLM)
Gemini Ultra
which users can try on its AI chatbot. The chatbot itself has now been renamed from Bard to Gemini, and the version that comes with Gemini Ultra will be called Gemini Advanced. Before explaining how to get a free
Gemini Advanced
subscription for
two-months
, let’s clear the basics.
Google’s Gemini language models
Last year, Google launched its LLM called Gemini. LLMs are the underlying technology that power AI chatbots. Microsoft Copilot is powered by GPT-4 LLM. Google Gemini has three sub-models: Gemini Ultra, Gemini Pro and Gemini Nano.
The Gemini Nano model is the smallest one and is developed to run on smartphones. It powers some features on the Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. Next up is Gemini Pro that powers the free version of Google Gemini – renamed version of Google Bard.
The third and the most powerful model is Google Ultra which now powers the Gemini Advanced, which was previously named Bard Advanced. This model is the most powerful model Google has to offer at this point of time. In India, those who wish to try Gemini Advanced will have to shell out Rs 1,950 per month.

Google One
subscriber, you may be able to get access to Gemini Advanced for two months without any charge.
