AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This means that AI Plus plans can still use Flash and Flash-Lite, but cannot specify Pro-series models themselves. According to the report, US users who want to continue manually selecting Pro models must upgrade from the 4.99 USD Plus plan at AI per month to the 19.99 USD at AI Pro per month. Old Pro chat records will be retained, but users must switch models before continuing to chat.
Why it matters to readers
The adjustment narrows the range of models that AI Plus users can manually select and may increase subscription spending for users who need Pro models.
If you subscribe to Google AI Plus and frequently manually select Pro models, you should note the change in permissions; if you only use Flash or Flash-Lite, the report does not state that there will be any other impact.
