Evidence
Google's February 8, 2024 post renamed Bard to Gemini, which users could 'already chat with' using the Pro 1.0 model, and launched Gemini Advanced with Ultra 1.0: 'Gemini Advanced is available as part of our brand new Google One AI Premium Plan for $19.99/month, starting with a two-month trial at no cost.' The plan also included 'all the benefits of the existing Google One Premium plan, such as 2TB of storage.' Gemini Advanced launched in 'more than 150 countries and territories in English'.
