As competition in artificial intelligence continues to intensify, Google has directly "lifted competition restrictions" at the I/O developer conference to challenge OpenAI and Anthropic in AI model pricing. In order to attract software developers and enterprise clients to use its AI models, Google has launched lower prices and stronger programming tools. At the same time, the company introduced a basic AI Ultra subscription tier for $100 per month to fill the gap between consumer and professional levels, and reduced the price of the high-end AI Ultra subscription from $250 to $200. Unlike Anthropic's premium pricing strategy, Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that Google's low-priced models will offer most of the advanced security and programming capabilities at a lower cost. Although Google's most powerful models have always been referred to as "Ultra", the company is now expanding its capabilities to the more affordable "Flash" and "Pro" series.
