Google appears to be working on an 'advanced' version of Bard
Google seems to be working on an advanced version of Bard called “Bard Advanced” that will be available through a paid subscription to Google One.
Shared by developer Dylan Roussel on X, the upgraded Bard will seemingly be powered by Gemini Ultra, Google's recently released LLM model. In one of the screenshot pictures shared by Roussel, Bard Advanced was described as a “more capable large language model with advanced math and reasoning skills.” Another developer, Bedros Pamboukian discovered Google code suggesting an advanced tier of the AI model.

Roussel additionally, also discovered further updates which included a feature codenamed Motoko that could let users create custom bots. It is not known if users will be able to share these bots with others or if it will be a paid premium feature. Just last year, OpenAI had announced it would GPT Plus subscribers create and share cutom bots.

Moreover, Google is expected to release a 'power up' feature that will use AI to expand on and improve the prompts users feed to Bard. A new 'Gallery' section will let users “explore different topics to see what you can do with Bard," while “tasks” tab that users may be able to use to keep track of longer jobs Bard is currently working on, like image generation.
Google has yet to confirm the news and let users known when the upgrade will take place.
