Google expands Gemini with cheaper models and wider agent access

The company also made its personal AI agent, Gemini Spark, available to a wider subscriber base on the AI Pro plan. These moves aim to balance model capabilities with economic efficiency and broader distribution, particularly for AI agents that can manage user workflows across various applications. AI
