Google sets new limits for Gemini users; check

Google limiting Gemini users signals platform policy change for AI service.

What happened: From October 9, free Gemini users will only be able to use Flash-Lite, and AI Plus subscribers will lose Pro access. AI Pro and AI Ultra users keep all models and gain Deep Think. Key numbers: AI Plus costs $4.99 a month, AI Pro $19.99 a month, and Deep Think was earlier limited to plans at $99.99 and $199.99 a month. The change takes effect October 9. Why it matters: Google is steering users toward higher tiers by adding Deep Think to the $19.99 AI Pro plan, which the content says makes that plan more attractive to anyone considering an upgrade from AI Plus.
