Google will restrict free Gemini access to Flash Lite starting October 9, requiring paid subscriptions for Flash and Pro.Summary
Starting October 9th, Google will limit free Gemini users to the Flash Lite model, removing access to Flash and Pro. The $4.99/month Google AI Plus subscription will be required for Flash, but this plan will no longer include Gemini Pro. Top-tier models like Gemini Pro and the Deep Think advanced reasoning option will be exclusive to Google AI Pro ($19.99/month) and Ultra ($99.99/month) subscribers. Users can still select low, medium, or high effort levels for each model, but higher effort levels may consume usage limits faster.
