Gemini Spark is no longer restricted to Google’s priciest Ultra tier

Google AI Pro subscribers are finally getting access to one of the best features Google announced at I/O this May. Gemini Spark is rolling out to US users on the Pro tier, according to a recent post from the official Google Gemini account on X, with other countries expected to follow soon.

Gemini Spark handles tasks while you’re away

Instead of just answering questions like the regular Gemini chatbot, Spark can complete tasks on your behalf. Give it a job, like sorting through your inbox or updating your calendar, and it works in the background even after you close the app. Spark can also watch for specific triggers, like a flight delay, and act on them automatically.

Gemini Spark is now also starting to roll out to Google AI Pro subscribers in the U.S., and we’ll be bringing it to AI Pro subscribers in more countries soon.

After debuting Gemini Spark at I/O, Google rolled it out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US later in May and expanded platform availability to macOS in June. Earlier this month, Spark reached Ultra subscribers in more regions and picked up support for more languages. This week’s Pro rollout is the first time Spark is reaching subscribers outside the Ultra tier, and Google is expected to expand availability to more regions in the coming weeks.

Where Gemini Spark isn’t available yet

Even with this expansion, Spark still isn’t available everywhere. If you live in the European Economic Area, Nigeria, Switzerland, or the UK, you’re currently locked out no matter which Google AI plan you pay for. Google hasn’t said when, or if, that will change.

Spark’s expansion to the Pro tier shows Google is serious about pushing agentic AI to a wider audience, not just its highest-paying subscribers. If you’re on the Pro plan in the US, take Spark for a spin to see if it lives up to all the hype. Users outside the US will likely have to wait a few weeks before a wider release.

Intel has moved up the schedule for its next-generation 14A (1.4-nanometer) manufacturing process, giving its foundry turnaround an important new target.

During Intel’s Q2 2026 earnings call, CEO Lip-Bu Tan said 14A risk production for internal products is now planned for the second half of 2027. High-volume production is expected to begin in 2028. This is earlier than the previous timeline, when Intel was expected to begin risk production in 2028 and move to volume production in 2029.

LG agrees to kill McAfee pop-up on Windows PCs after Microsoft steps in
It's a quick fix, not a real one, since the pipeline that let LG install the pop-up is still wide open.

Plug in an LG monitor, and Windows might quietly install more than a driver. That's what several owners found out this month, when a pop-up promoting a McAfee antivirus trial appeared on their screens without a single consent prompt in sight. Microsoft has now stepped in, and LG says it's turning off the ad.
