Google One AI Premium includes Gemini Advanced
According toTechCrunch, Sissie Hsiao, Google assistant vice president, said at a recent press conference that the inundation of the Ultra 1.0 model helpsGemini Advancedbe “far more capable at highly complex tasks with a range of applications like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions, and creative collaboration, amongst many others.”
“Not only does Gemini Advanced allow you to write longer prompts, it can also better understand the context of your previous prompts,” she added.
Notably, Gemini for Workspace is a rebrand for the Duet AI service that initially updated Google’s productivity applications with artificial intelligence. The service was primarily enterprise focused, with a price tag of $30 per month per user. Meanwhile, Google One AI Premium is consumer-facing. It essentially includes all of the perks of the standard Google One Premium 2TB plan, which traditionally sells for $10 per month.
Google is currently offering a free two-month trial ofGoogle One AI Premium, allowing you to test out Gemini Advanced with no risk. The deal is available in English across 150 countries and territories. Other languages including Japanese and Korean will also soon be available. There’s no word on how long this deal will run.
Google first introduced its AI endeavor as Bard in March 2023 in a free and experimental capacity. The chatbot was originally run on the LaMDA LLM, however, the brand upgraded it to the Gemini LLM in December 2023. Google calls the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model its most efficient AI model, joining its predecessors Gemini Nano, Gemini Pro, and Gemini Ultra. The Gemini Pro LLM, which already runs the free tier of the Gemini chatbot and is integrated into Google apps, has an aptitude equivalent to GPT 3.5.
