# Big news is coming: Google Bard is rumored to be renamed Gemini, Ultra 1.0 is more powerful but comes with a fee, and Android apps will also be available.

Finally, is Alphabet-C's Gemini Ultra, which was promised in December last year, going to meet everyone?

Today, a Twitter user's leak about Alphabet-C Bard has sparked widespread discussion on social media.

The leaker provided a screenshot of the update log for Alphabet-C Bard, which shows that a very significant adjustment is coming in the next few days.

Alphabet-C Bard is expected to make adjustments in two aspects: first, Bard will officially be renamed Gemini and unveil the Gemini Ultra 1.0 model; second, the Gemini Android application will also be launched.

Regarding this update to the log, some netizens expressed their anticipation, saying that Alphabet-C Gemini will undergo a major transformation in a few days, and GPT-5 may also be released this year, which will once again liven up the AI community.

## **Gemini Ultra 1.0 is finally coming**

In December last year, Alphabet-C officially launched the native multimodal large-scale model Gemini series, marking the biggest update since the release of Alphabet-C Bard. Gemini has three versions: Gemini Nano for edge devices, Gemini Pro for multitasking, and the most powerful Gemini Ultra.

Bard was upgraded to the Gemini Pro version, achieving more advanced capabilities in reasoning, planning, understanding, and so on, while remaining free. Gemini Ultra was announced to be released through "Bard Advanced" in early 2024, and now it is finally going to reveal its true face.

Over the past few months, Alphabet-C has been rapidly building and upgrading Bard's generative AI chat experience, and continuously providing new features and functions, such as adding an AI image generator.

According to the update log exposed today, Alphabet-C is seeking to rename Bard as Gemini. The log shows that Gemini is the best way to access Google AI, and all collaborative features will be improved through Gemini. The related UI will also be improved to reduce visual distractions, enhance readability, and simplify navigation.

At the same time, for any Gemini users in supported countries and languages, they will have direct access to Alphabet-C's best AI models. The rebranding is aimed at better adapting and achieving these goals. In addition to the name change, what users are most concerned about is undoubtedly Gemini Ultra. The update log shows that starting from February 7th, users will be able to access "Gemini Advanced" and experience Alphabet-C's most powerful model, Gemini Ultra 1.0.

It is reported that the "Gemini Advanced" using the Ultra 1.0 model is expected to become more proficient in complex tasks such as programming, logical reasoning, following subtle instructions, and creative collaboration. In the coming months, it will expand new unique features, including multimodal capabilities, better coding support, and the ability to upload and analyze documents and data more deeply.

However, the log also mentions that "Gemini Advanced" will be a paid plan and will only support English access and optimization.

It seems that Alphabet-C is also going to adopt the ChatGPT Plus membership charging model. In the future, if you want to experience Ultra 1.0, you may have to pay for it.

Gemini Android App is also coming

In addition to renaming Bard to Gemini and launching Ultra 1.0, Alphabet-C Gemini is also expected to release an Android application.

According to the introduction in the update log, with the help of Google AI on mobile phones, users will be able to learn, write thank-you letters, plan events, and more in new ways. The integration of Gemini with Alphabet-C applications such as Gmail, Maps, and YouTube allows users to easily complete tasks on their mobile phones.

At the same time, users can interact with Gemini through text, voice, or images in a multimodal way.

In the future, if you want to chat with Gemini on an Android device, you can choose to download the Gemini application from Google Play. If you are using an iOS device, you can try Gemini in the Google app. The update log also points out that the Gemini application will only be launched in English on certain devices specified in the United States, with plans to expand to Japanese and Korean. It is expected that more countries and languages will be added to the support list in the future.

With the powerful Ultra model and the Gemini application on Android devices, users can now look forward to Alphabet-C with great anticipation.
