Today we’re launching Gemini Advanced — a new experience that gives you access to Ultra 1.0, our largest and most capable state-of-the-art AI model. In blind evaluations with our third-party raters, Gemini Advanced with Ultra 1.0 is now the most preferred chatbot compared to leading alternatives.

With our Ultra 1.0 model, Gemini Advanced is far more capable at highly complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, following nuanced instructions and collaborating on creative projects. Gemini Advanced not only allows you to have longer, more detailed conversations; it also better understands the context from your previous prompts.

It is surprising from a competitive perspective though in that Google is behind already, so putting it behind a pay wall doesn't help with that.

When you're the size of Google surely you make it as free as possible and lose some money to gain marketshare back.

Why the fuck would I pay for Gemini which I've basically never heard of vs. GPT 4 which for better or worse is considered the coming of the new AI revolution.

Also GPT 4 is easily accessible for free for most people via the Bing app, so not like you have to pay for general use.

    it isn't - they claim their Ultra model is better than GPT-4 and they're offering 2 months to try it out for free, then pay the same as GPT-4. It makes all competitive sense.

    btw, what you get with the bing version of gpt is quite different from the chat or API, so I wouldn't consider them equivalent or even interchangeable.

    I'm not sure you're correct on the last point. My understanding is copilot gets chatgpt 4 turbo which is the paid version, as well as other parts like dall-e 3 so for free it's definitely the best option....

    And fair enough on the google stuff being free for at least 2 months. That makes more economic sense.

    It's a different product though. You may probably access to GPT-4 in some chatbots in the wild too, but getting around their prompt and original directives to make them behave closer to the chatty product openai offers might be counterproductive. You may be better off using Chat GPT 3.5 for free.
