Google is preparing a major overhaul of its Gemini AI subscription structure ahead of the upcoming Google I/O event. Recent evidence from code changes and tooltips indicates that the current Gemini Advanced plan will likely be rebranded as Gemini Pro, while the AI Premium plan is expected to potentially become Gemini Ultra. References to these new tiers have appeared in both subscription settings and tooltips, suggesting a staged rollout and a move toward more granular subscription options. The Gemini Ultra tier, in particular, is positioned as a higher-level plan that may offer increased usage limits and additional perks, such as extended Google Drive storage, and is expected to consolidate advanced features like video and image generation under one plan.
In the Gemini web interface, new tooltips and UI changes have surfaced around the sharing of Gems, custom prompt templates similar to OpenAI’s GPTs. The latest tooltip reveals that shared Gems will be saved to the user’s Google Drive, and the sharing interface closely resembles Google Drive’s sharing pop-up. This points to a likely initial rollout for enterprise users, rather than public accounts, aligning with Google’s broader enterprise focus for collaborative AI tools.
The Gemini changelog has also been updated with placeholders for announcements timed to Google I/O, including new integrations such as GitHub support and the anticipated launch of Imagen 4 for image generation. There are signs that Gemini will soon allow users to access both Imagen and Gemini’s native image generation models, and other features in development include:
- Scheduled actions
- Image editor "Creative Partner"
- Veo 3 & Imagen 4 upgrades
- Gems sharing
- Prompt "Power up" button
- New "Agents" toolbox
- Gemini Pro and Ultra plans
- Gemini Ultra model?
These updates reflect Google’s ongoing strategy to unify its AI offerings, provide tiered access for different user groups, and respond to competition from other leading AI providers.
Overall, these developments signal a significant expansion of Google’s AI product line, with immediate post-I/O availability for some features likely. The changes are designed to cater to both individual and enterprise users, offering more flexibility and advanced capabilities as Google positions Gemini as a central part of its AI ecosystem.
