Google announces new $249/month AI Ultra plan with Gemini 2.5 Pro and max cloud storage

Google has launched a new "Google AI Ultra" subscription at $249.99 per month, providing users with access to its most advanced artificial intelligence models and the highest usage limits across its suite of AI tools. You can think of it as Google’s version of OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro, but with added benefits across multiple Google platforms, including Gemini 2.5 Pro with the new Deep Think mode for complex math and coding tasks.

Subscribers get early access to Gemini in Google Chrome for contextual task completion and summarization. The AI Ultra plan increases usage limits for the Google Gemini app, supports deep research, enables video generation with Veo 2, and offers early access to Veo 3. It also raises limits in NotebookLM and Google Whisk, including Whisk Animate for text and image-based visualizations.

The subscription also bundles up to 30TB of shared storage across Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail, an individual YouTube Premium account, and Gemini integration across apps like Gmail, Google Docs, and the new Google Vids, along with access to Project Mariner, an AI prototype capable of performing up to ten parallel tasks such as research and bookings. The company has also renamed its Gemini Advanced subscription plan to AI Pro at $19.99 monthly.
