Google launches $250 per month ‘VIP’ AI subscription service

Google has launched a new $249.99/month subscription service called Google AI Ultra, offering exclusive access to its most advanced AI tools. Announced at Google I/O, the plan includes the Gemini AI app with DeepThink mode, early access to experimental tools like the Veo 3 video generator and Project Mariner, 30TB of storage, and YouTube Premium. Aimed at power users, it competes with OpenAI’s $200/month ChatGPT Pro as Google seeks to expand AI revenue beyond advertising, CNBC has reported. The service is now available in the U.S., with international rollout coming soon.
