Google AI Ultra

I’m not interested in about 75% of this offering. Really wish they had pieced this out or done a credit system for it all. I want higher coding and LLM limits, Deep Think, and would like to try agent stuff, but don’t care at all about image or video generation, Notebook limits, YouTube Premium, or more storage.

$250 is a the highest cost AI sub now. Not loving this direction.

What other direction would you expect to be possible? Even with this rates most AI companies are still bleeding money.

If anyone it’s Google that would be very-very inference efficient (given their custom TPUs and what have you).

However if all this power is wasted on video generation, then even them probably will choke.

Then again, I guess your average Joe/Jane will looove to generate some 10 seconds of you daily whatsapp stuff to share.

I'm assuming their will be an ala carte API offer too.

Yeah it says "designed for coding" but it's missing the one thing programmers need which is just higher Gemini API usage limits.

Building and running these models is expensive, there's no way around that in the near future.

LLM companies have just been eating the cost in hopes that people find them useful enough while drastically subsidized that they stay on the hook when prices actually cover the expense.

I wonder how long this free access to LLMs can continue. It's like early days of Facebook, before the ads and political interference started to happen. The question is, when will we see the enshittification of LLMs?

At $125/mo for 3 months I'm tempted to try it, but I don't understand how it would interfere with my existing youtube/2TB storage family plan, and that's a big barrier for me.

Exactly. When Masayoshi Son’s money will run out I guess.

What's wrong with just using the API for that?

Deep Think isn't available on the API.

Deep Think is only available on the API. It's just restricted to "trusted testers" right now before a wide launch.
