Whispers in the tech community suggest that Google is on the verge of unveiling a fresh array of AI subscription tiers under the Google One umbrella. According to insights shared by TestingCatalog, which has been monitoring chatter from various sources on X, the code for Gemini hints at the potential introduction of two new tiers: “Gemini Pro” and “Gemini Ultra,” complementing the existing Gemini Advanced option.
In a recent upgrade, Google enhanced the Gemini Advanced plan by incorporating NotebookLM Plus and Veo 2, the latter designed for video generation. However, the company has also hinted at exciting developments slated for I/O 2025, leaving many eager for further details.
Among the intriguing revelations, a user known as BartokGabi17 managed to uncover an early glimpse into the Pro tier’s limitations. Notably, a tagline regarding a “monthly limit” for video generation resonates with the recent updates to Gemini Advanced, which introduced Veo 2. Google has cautioned Advanced subscribers that while they can create high-quality video clips, there will be a cap on production. The specifics of this limit remain vague, but users can expect a notification pop-up as they near their threshold, mirroring the recent leaks surrounding the AI subscription tiers.
In a related development, Google One’s AI Premium plan has received an upgrade, providing subscribers with enhanced value. Existing users now enjoy access to NotebookLM Plus at no additional cost, along with the advanced capabilities of Gemini in applications like Gmail and Docs, all while benefiting from 2TB of cloud storage. With the buzz surrounding the rumored “Pro” and “Ultra” tiers, the upcoming I/O 2025 event promises to unveil even more than anticipated.
Google has recently teased “new possibilities” for Gemini in a newsletter, though specifics remain under wraps. The company hinted that these forthcoming updates aim to bolster user productivity and introduce novel interactions. While this could signal enhancements to the Gemini app and browser experience, the potential for additional announcements looms large, keeping the tech community on the edge of their seats.
