Google to End Gemini AI Plus Subscribers’ Access to Pro Model from November

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Google is set to end Gemini AI Plus subscribers’ access to its Pro-level artificial intelligence (AI) model from November 2026.

Reported by 9 to 5 Google on Wednesday (14 October), the announcement came shortly before Argon was introduced as the latest high-performance AI model in the Gemini service.

The company said Gemini 4 Argon would be available to Gemini AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers, while Gemini AI Plus customers would lose access to Pro models entirely.

In a notification, Google said the Gemini Pro model would no longer be available to AI Plus subscribers from 13 November.

AI Plus subscribers will be able to use only two types of model in the Gemini app: Gemini Flash-Lite and Gemini Flash.

“From 13 November 2026, the ability to select a Pro model in both the Gemini app and AI Mode in Google Search will be available only to Google AI Pro subscribers and above,” the notice informing Gemini AI Plus subscribers of the end of access to Gemini Pro said.

Some Gemini AI Plus subscribers have also reported receiving the same notification by email, corroborating that their access to the Gemini Pro model will end on 13 November 2026.

To access more advanced AI models such as Gemini 4 Argon, customers will need to subscribe to a more expensive plan, priced at US$19.99 (around Rp358,000) per month.

A no-subscription option will still be available, but Google will provide access only to the Gemini Flash-Lite model.
