Google's Gemini Ultra 1.0 is a state-of-the-art model that works across text, image, audio, and video. It was initially announced as part of a paid plan, previously known as Bart Advanced, now renamed to Gemini Advanced. The Ultra 1.0 model is capable of performing complex tasks like coding, logical reasoning, and creative collaboration. Users can access Ultra 1.0 through the new $20 Google One AI Premium plan, which includes 2TB of storage, Google Photos editing features, Google Meet premium video features, and Google Calendar’s enhanced appointment scheduling.
