Google designates insider Kavukcuoglu to lead AI-driven product advancement
🤖💻 Google AI Ultra Unleashed!
🔔 Google I/O 2025's shiny new toy 🔔
Hey there, Tech-Lovers! The ever-innovative titans at Alphabet-Google and DeepMind have dropped a game-changer for the AI community - Google AI Ultra, a premium AI subscription service. Here's all you need to know about it, including some peeks into the fascinating world of video production and "people movement."
🎒 Let's dive right in! 👨💻
💸 Pricing, Availability, and Who's it For? 💰
The Google AI Ultra subscription is priced at a steep but enticing $249.99 per month. Don't sweat the cost just yet! New users will enjoy a tempting 50% off for the first three months [1][5]. As of now, Google AI Ultra is exclusively available in the U.S., but expect it to expand to more countries in the near future [1][5]. The service is geared towards filmmakers, developers, and creative professionals who crave the limelight and seek the very best AI has to offer for their high-end projects.
🧠 What's Included? 🚀
Best Version of Gemini: Access Gemini 2.5 Pro with Deep Think mode, as well as early or exclusive access to upcoming versions. This awesome combo is ideal for complex tasks related to coding, research, and creativity [4][5].
🎥 AI Video and Filmmaking Tools:
- Veo 2 (video generation)
- Exclusive access to the forthcoming Veo 3
- Flow: a filmmaking tool that lets you create stunning cinematic videos using advanced DeepMind models [4][5].
💡 Enhanced Productivity Tools:
- NotebookLM: an AI-powered research assistant
- Whisk: image remixing software
- Project Mariner: agentic tools in Chrome for enhanced productivity [4][5].
📈 Storage:
The Ultra subscription offers significantly increased storage across Google Drive, Google Photos, and Gmail [4][5].
📺 Bonus: Get YouTube Premium included with your subscription [4][5].
🚫 What You're Missing Out On:
Don't expect AI-driven "people movement" (e.g., real-time crowd analytics or mobility simulation) as a core feature. While the advanced video and generative capabilities could be adapted for simulations or visualization, let's save that excitement for later [5].
🧪 DeepMind and Koray Kavukcuoglu in the Mix
DeepMind's most advanced models, like Veo and Imagen, are integrated into Flow and Veo tools, enabling cutting-edge video and creative capabilities [3][4]. Meanwhile, Koray Kavukcuoglu, the Vice President of Research at DeepMind, has a role in the research and development of these underlying models. However, he hasn't explicitly commented on a people movement-focused AI service [4].
🤝 People Movement's Connection? 💭
Though Google AI Ultra doesn't specialize in "people movement" as a distinct focus, the advanced video and generative capabilities could lend themselves well to a future in video simulations or visualizations related to people movement in fields like transportation and urban planning [5].
So folks, that's all for now! Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on the intertwining spheres of AI and "people movement." Until next time, happy innovating! 🎉🛰️.
