The information originates from a post by Android app developer Dylan Roussel on X, formerly known as Twitter, aligning with earlier reports from 9to5Google, suggesting that Google Bard is set to undergo a name change to Gemini. A leaked photo, purportedly showing a changelog dated February 7, 2024, supports this claim and provides insights into upcoming features.

According to the image in the post, a new tier called 'Advanced' might be introduced, powered by Gemini Ultra, touted as Google's most advanced large language model yet, potentially surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-4 that powers ChatGPT Plus and Microsoft Copilot . The changelog indicates that access to Gemini Advanced will be restricted behind a paywall. Google asserts that this powerful language model can handle intricate tasks such as logical reasoning, coding, following nuanced instructions, and creative collaboration. The company also plans to enhance Gemini Ultra's capabilities in the "coming months," focusing on its ability to deeply analyse files, data, documents, and more.


However, the most interesting part is the launch of the Gemini app for Android devices. Google says the new app can “help learning in new ways, writing thank you notes, planning events, and more with Google AI on your phone. ” It looks like Gemini will be integrated with different Google services like Gmail , Maps and YouTube. While Android is getting a new dedicated app, iOS users might have to use the Google app to try Gemini.
