Google AI Plus and free users are losing access to Gemini models, and it's happening very soon
Key Points:
- Google AI Plus subscription tier will lose access to the Gemini Pro model in October, with affected users receiving emails about the timing.
- Free users will lose access to the Flash model on October 9th, retaining only Flash-Lite, while Plus users keep Flash and Flash-Lite but lose Pro access.
- Higher subscription tiers, AI Pro and Ultra, will maintain access to the Gemini Pro model without changes.
- The change reflects Google's decision to tighten restrictions on lower-tier subscriptions, reducing premium features in Plus and free plans.
- Some users, who valued Pro access in the Plus tier, are considering switching to rival AI services due to these limitations.
