Google I/O 2025
Gemini Ultra (only in the U.S. for now) delivers the “highest level of access” to Google’s AI-powered apps and services, according to Google. It’s priced at $249.99 per month and includes Google’s Veo 3 video generator, the company’s new Flow video editing app, and a powerful AI capability called Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think mode, which hasn’t launched yet.

Deep Think is an “enhanced” reasoning mode for Google’s flagship Gemini 2.5 Pro model. It allows the model to consider multiple answers to questions before responding, boosting its performance on certain benchmarks.

Both Veo 3 and Imagen 4 will be used to power Flow, the company’s AI-powered video tool geared toward filmmaking.

Ultra...Deep Think... Veo... Imagen... "will be"... "hasn't launched yet"... I'm sorry, what is real versus vaporware?
@Dave in contrast to Apple, they are actually rolling out AI features pretty quickly. I recently got a Pixel 9 on the side and Gemini is mind-blowing as an assistant. It can do much more than the simple voice commands that Siri can (and is pretty bad it), it feels like an actual personal assistant that can find discount deals, summarize vegetarian meals that a restaurant offers, etc.
Given the prior roll-out of Gemini features, these other features will probably be launched the coming weeks/months. In contrast to the vaporware that was announced last year's WWDC.
(And this comes from an Apple fan, Mac user since 2007, iPhone since 2009.)
"... an actual personal assistant that can find discount deals, summarize vegetarian meals that a restaurant offers, etc"
If many of those summaries are correct, this may be the biggest threat to online menus we've ever seen!
