Google Gemini restricts models for free users, adds Deep Think to Pro

Original: Gemini app limiting what models free & AI Plus users can access, AI Pro adding Deep Think

Google is reshaping access to its Gemini app. Free-tier and AI Plus subscribers are being limited in which models they can use, while AI Pro subscribers gain access to Deep Think, the company's more advanced reasoning model. The changes sharpen the line between paid and free tiers, pushing heavier users toward pricier subscriptions as competition in AI chatbots intensifies.

Why now: Google's tier changes affect what AI features users can access, prompting debate over paywalling advanced models.
