Gemini 2.5 Pro got a new feature called Deep Think, designed for complex questions about math and coding. Google also introduced Xreal, a pair of smart glasses that run on Android XR and come with a camera and microphone.
Chrome is getting an AI-powered feature that can summarize web pages and answer questions. Google announced AI Ultra, a new subscription plan that offers access to its latest AI models, including Gemini, NotebookLM, and Flow. The plan costs $250 per month and includes 30 TB of storage on Google Drive and a YouTube Premium subscription.
