Your favorite Google AI features just got a cheaper yearly price
TL;DR Google has introduced an annual subscription for its Google AI Pro (2TB) plan, costing $199.99 annually.
This new annual option saves users approximately 16% ($40) compared to the monthly $19.99 plan.
Higher-tier plans like the 5TB and above plans and the Google AI Ultra plan still require monthly billing options with no access to discounted annual rates.
Ever since Google launched the Google AI Pro plan (previously called Google One AI Premium plan), users have been asking for an annual plan. Some Android flagships come with a free trial subscription for Gemini Advanced through the Google One AI Premium plan upon purchase, but eventually, users have to start paying for the AI perks. They can only do so monthly, which can get cumbersome very fast. Google mentioned its intention to bring annual plans for Google AI Pro, and they're finally doing so.
As spotted by 9to5Google, Google has introduced an annual subscription for Google AI Pro (2TB), costing $199.99 annually. The Google AI Pro monthly plan costs $19.99, so opting for the yearly billing saves you about 16%, or $40.
The Google AI Pro plan was already available for annual billing, but with its 5TB tier, coming in at $24.99 monthly and $249.99 annually. If you need to jump up to higher tiers like 10TB, 20TB, 30TB, or even to the Google AI Ultra plan, you must stick with monthly billing, as these higher tier plans do not have an annual billing option.
Currently, I cannot see the annual billing option for the Google AI Pro plan when subscribing to the plan on a new account. However, when I log into my other account that is already subscribed to the plan, I can switch from the monthly plan to the annual billing option. Hopefully, Google extends the offer to new subscribers, too, though if you've never subscribed to Google One's AI plans before, the monthly plan remains a good starting point. If you like the AI perks that come along, you can switch to the annual subscription thereafter.

Former OpenAI Board Member Questions Zuckerberg AI Hiring Spree
By and Haslinda Amin Save Meta Platforms Inc. 's lavish multimillion-dollar budget for recruiting top AI talent may not guarantee success, said Helen Toner, former OpenAI board member and director of strategy at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology. The poaching of artificial intelligence researchers from the likes of OpenAI — with salaries in the tens of millions of dollars — and the debut of Meta's new Superintelligence group comes after the Facebook operator developed a reputation for 'having a dysfunctional team,' Toner said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. The practice of luring away high performers from each other's AI labs has intensified among Silicon Valley companies since the launch of ChatGPT, she said.

Paramount and Trump in 'Advanced' Settlement Talks As Merger Deadline Nears
A deal to settle a lawsuit from President Trump against CBS News over its handling of a 60 Minutes interview could be close. Lawyers for both sides moved to pause all proceedings until Thursday, citing 'good faith' and 'advanced' settlement discussions, according to a court document filed on Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Canada Scraps Digital Services Tax After Trump Trade Talks Threat Trump "Terminating" U.S.-Canada Trade Talks Over Streaming Tax That's It, The F-Word Is Officially Boring The move comes ahead of the merger termination deadline on July 7. If the deal isn't completed by then, a second 90-day extension would expire on Oct. 6. In the scenario that the transaction isn't greenlit at that point, it's believed that Paramount and Skydance will abandon the deal rather than seek another extension. The holdup involves the Federal Communication Commission's refusal to transfer Paramount's broadcast licenses. The dispute has influenced Paramount's approach to a lawsuit accusing it of deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris. A mediator recently proposed a $20 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit, with the majority going to Trump's presidential foundation, The Wall Street Journal reported, which noted that Trump has insisted on an apology. It's been reported that CBS offered as much as $15 million. Trump's legal team faced a Monday deadline to reply to CBS' motion to compel discovery. 'The Parties respectfully submit that good cause to stay all proceedings exists because the Parties are engaged in good faith, advanced, settlement negotiations,' reads the filing. Absent a deal, the court is expected to rule on CBS' bid to dismiss the lawsuit in the coming months. In that filing, the network argued that the complaint is an 'affront to the First Amendment' and that Trump is looking to 'punish a news organization for constitutionally protected editorial judgments they do not like.' The pathway to Skydance's acquisition of Paramount getting approved involves a settlement of the 60 Minutes lawsuit, after which the FCC will approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses.
