- Google is restricting which Gemini models free-tier and AI Plus users can access in the Gemini app, with the change described across coverage as happening "very soon" and representing a "significant" cut to free use
- AI Pro subscribers are set to gain access to Deep Think, a capability the lower tiers will not get, per the 9to5Google headline
- The policy update lands just days after Google launched Gemini Argon, per Neowin's headline framing
Why it matters: Google is pushing capability up its pricing ladder — free and AI Plus subscribers lose model options while AI Pro picks up Deep Think. The timing, days after Gemini Argon's launch, shows Google packaging its newest AI behind higher paywalls rather than expanding free access.
