## AI overview

Firebase announced that its Blaze pay-as-you-go plan would include the same free usage offered by the Spark plan. Users staying within those limits would not be charged, while usage above them would retain the existing rates. The update also introduced billing budgets and alerts and eased access to Google Cloud Platform services.
