Google is cutting the price of its AI Plus subscription from $7.99 to $4.99 per month and doubling the storage that comes with it, making the plan a more competitive option against similar AI subscription tiers from rivals.

What changes with the new plan

The updated AI Plus plan now includes 400GB of cloud storage, up from the 200GB subscribers have received since launch. The price drops to $4.99 per month, or local equivalent, and the reduction takes effect on the next billing cycle rather than immediately. The storage increase will roll out over the next few days.

📣We’re updating the price of our Google AI Plus plan to $4.99/mo💰or local equivalent (down from $7.99), and doubling the included storage, from 200GB to 400GB ☁️. Now you can unlock tools to boost your productivity and creativity – and get more space to store your photos,…

The plan’s core benefits remain unchanged. Subscribers get double the usage limits in the Gemini app compared to the free tier, a 128,000-token context window, and access to features like Daily Brief, Omni Flash video generation, and scheduled interactions. AI Plus members also get expanded limits in NotebookLM, Proofread and AI Inbox in Gmail, and additional access in Google Flow, AI Studio, and Antigravity.

Google is also formally rebranding its $9.99 per month 2TB storage tier as Google AI Plus, bringing it under the same product umbrella.

Where this fits in Google’s AI subscription lineup

Google has been actively reshaping its AI subscription tiers in recent months. In April, the company upgraded AI Pro with 5TB storage at no extra cost. At I/O last month, AI Ultra received a new $100 per month entry point, while the top-tier option dropped from $250 to $200 per month.

The AI Plus price cut positions the entry-level plan more aggressively against competitors like OpenAI’s ad-supported $8 per month ChatGPT Go plan. At $4.99, Google’s plan is now the lowest-priced major AI subscription from a top-tier provider.

TSMC’s latest chip packaging breakthrough promises lower costs and better performance
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the new CoPoS technology could make AI chips cheaper and more powerful.
TSMC Silicon wafer

Making chips smaller has dominated the semiconductor conversation for years, but TSMC's next big leap may come from how those chips are packaged instead. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the company is developing a new Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate, or CoPoS, technology that promises lower manufacturing costs while delivering better performance for future AI processors.

Best laptops coming in 2026 after Computex
From RTX Spark powerhouses to next-gen ultrabooks, these laptops are truly worth waiting for.
ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 Computex 2026 Other

Every Computex promises the next big thing, but only a handful of laptops actually feel worthy of the hype. After spending time exploring the show floor and seeing these devices up close, one thing became abundantly clear: 2026 isn't just about faster processors. It's about smarter laptops, better portability, and AI features that are finally starting to feel useful instead of being another sticker on the palm rest.

A big part of that shift is NVIDIA's new RTX Spark platform, which made its way into several premium creator machines this year. Rather than diving into its technical details yet again, let's focus on the laptops themselves, because each manufacturer has taken the platform in a very different direction.

Every Computex has its headline-grabbing announcements. There's always a faster processor, a shinier graphics card, or a laptop that's somehow even thinner than last year's model. But after spending several days wandering the halls of Computex 2026, talking to engineers, trying products, and occasionally getting lost between exhibition booths, I came away with a very different takeaway. That said, this year's show wasn't really about individual products. Rather, it was about the direction the industry is heading. Instead of chasing flashy specifications for the sake of marketing slides, manufacturers finally seem focused on solving real problems.

The MacBook Neo effect is impossible to ignore
