Google AI Pro plan now free for a year for students in India: Here's what you get
Google has introduced a new initiative aimed at university students in India, offering complimentary access to its AI Pro membership for a period of one year. Typically priced at ₹ 1,950 per month, the subscription includes a range of premium tools and features powered by the latest artificial intelligence models. The offer is valid until 15 September 2025. The AI Pro plan grants users access to Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro model and Deep Research on the same platform, enabling more advanced generative AI capabilities. Subscribers can also utilise Veo 3, Google's newest video generation platform, along with expanded functionality for image-to-video conversions via the previous Veo 2 model on the Whisk platform. A limited version of Veo 3 Fast is also included. Additionally, students enrolled in the plan will receive 1,000 AI credits every month, which can be used across Flow and Whisk for tasks involving text, image, and video creation. The plan also boosts productivity features, allowing users to generate up to five times more Audio Overviews and notebooks in NotebookLM. Integration of the Gemini model directly within Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides further extends AI-enhanced support across Google's suite of productivity tools. Another key benefit of the subscription is 2TB of cloud storage, distributed across Google services such as Drive, Gmail, and Photos, aimed at supporting larger project files and collaborative work environments. To claim the free subscription, students must be at least 18 years old, reside in India, and possess a personal Google account. Verification of student status is required via SheerID, either through a valid university email address or an official identification card. Once verified, users must link a Google Payments account with a qualifying payment method, such as UPI, credit card, or debit card, to activate the offer. The total savings for eligible students over the year-long period amounts to ₹ 21,450. However, the offer is restricted to university students in India and will no longer be available beyond the September 2025 deadline.

Walk through a trippy mirrored maze in Rockefeller Center this month
Walking through Midtown can feel like a maze, but at this trippy mirrored art installation, that's exactly the point. You'll lose your bearings and find yourself again inside this immersive art installation where space feels endless and ever-changing. Called Reflection Point, the piece by Brooklyn-based artist duo Wade and Leta (Wade Jeffree and Leta Sobierajski) is on view for free at Rockefeller Center until July 20. Take a moment to stroll through its shifting pathways and definitely snap a few photos while you're there. As you walk through the colorful maze, you'll spot bold, graphic shapes that function as doors, welcoming visitors to push through and uncover new routes for some playful exploration. Color guides the eye through certain passages, while reflection and refraction conceal others, inviting constant reevaluation of direction and experience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wade and Leta (@wadeandleta) "The piece is an immersive, kinetic environment of color and mirrored surfaces, inviting viewers to move, reflect, and participate in the iconic location," artists Wade and Leda said in a statement. "It's a work about perception, process, and the shifting relationship between technology and art." To create the larger-than-life installation, the artist duo used Whisk, a Google Labs AI experiment that enables fast, visual ideation and brainstorming. Then, they combined mirrored aluminum composite panel, plywood, stainless steel, vinyl, and rubber to take the ideas off the screen and into reality. Though the artists have created participatory artwork in places like London, Tokyo and Beijing, this is their first large-scale outdoor artwork in NYC.

Gemini Pro now lets you create three Veo 3 fast AI videos daily
Google has expanded access to its AI-powered video generation tool for subscribers of its Gemini app Pro plan. Starting now, Pro users can create up to three videos daily using the Veo 3 Fast video generator. This update aims to add more value to the Pro subscription, which was recently reduced to $20 per month, making it a more affordable option for those interested in Google's AI capabilities. Josh Woodward, Vice President of Google Labs and Gemini, confirmed this new feature in a recent announcement. He also mentioned that Veo will receive improvements soon, including a fix for text subtitles. In addition to this, Flow Pro members will benefit from this update by using 20 credits per video generation. Currently, the Pro plan offers 1,000 monthly credits that users can spend on various Google AI tools.

However, Veo 2 videos will not support audio and will offer lower video quality. Ultra subscribers who pay $250 monthly will see no changes and can continue using the service as before. Furthermore, Google Pixel 9 users will get an added advantage and will receive a free one-year subscription to Google AI Pro with their device. This includes full access to Gemini's tools, as well as Whisk, NotebookLM, and 2TB of storage.
