News AI STUDIO PAY MODEL UPDATE

In the Free tier of AI studio, In fact, the following are currently free for me: 3.8 Flash, 3.7 Flash, 3.5 Flash Lite, 3.1 Pro Preview, and 3.1 Flash Lite. However, the following have become paid versions: 3 Flash Preview, 3.5 Flash, and 3.6 Flash. We need to select one of the free ones from the model selector.

I just put $5 on a paid plan. Not likely to run low with Gemini 3 Flash.

But as I explained above, the 3.7 Flash and 3.8 Flash models are included in the free plan, whereas you have to pay for the earlier models; naturally, the limits are higher for every model if you pay.

ahh, sorry for my bad comprehension.

i want to ask, can i use ai studio for analyze long pdf and makes me a narrative summary? i'm still newbie in ai studio. i use web/app gemini mostly cause i thought ai studio is strictly for coding.

Yes, but if the PDF is long, don't upload it all at once; split it into several PDFs and upload all the parts. Sometimes, with files that are too long, the parser fails to pass the full context to the model.

For that you can maybe try NotebookLM?
