How long does it typically take after this to become available on https://gemini.google.com/app ? I would like to try the model, wondering if it's worth setting up billing or waiting. At the moment trying to use it in AI Studio (on the Free tier) just gives me "Failed to generate content, quota exceeded: you have reached the limit of requests today for this model. Please try again tomorrow."

Today I guess. They were not releasing the preview models this time and it seems the want to synchronize the release.

It's available to be selected, but the quota does not seem to have been enabled just yet. "Failed to generate content, quota exceeded: you have reached the limit of requests today for this model. Please try again tomorrow." "You've reached your rate limit. Please try again later." Update: as of 3:33 PM UTC, Tuesday, November 18, 2025, it seems to be enabled.

Looks to be available in Vertex.

I reckon it's an API key thing... you can more explicitly select a "paid API key" in AI Studio now.

API pricing is up to $2/M for input and $12/M for output

For comparison: Gemini 2.5 Pro was $1.25/M for input and $10/M for output Gemini 1.5 Pro was $1.25/M for input and $5/M for output

Allegedly it's already available in stealth mode if you choose the "canvas" tool and 2.5. I don't know how true that is, but it is indeed pumping out some really impressive one shot code

Edit: Now that I have access to Gemini 3 preview, I've compared the results of the same one shot prompts on the gemini app's 2.5 canvas vs 3 AI studio and they're very similar. I think the rumor of a stealth launch might be true.

For me it’s up and running. I was doing some work with AI Studio when it was released and reran a few prompts already. Interesting also that you can now set thinking level low or high. I hope it does something, in 2.5 increasing maximum thought tokens never made it think more

And of course they hiked the API prices

Standard Context(≤ 200K tokens)

Input $2.00 vs $1.25 (Gemini 3 pro input is 60% more expensive vs 2.5)

Output $12.00 vs $10.00 (Gemini 3 pro output is 20% more expensive vs 2.5)

Long Context(> 200K tokens)

Input $4.00 vs $2.50 (same +60%)

Output $18.00 vs $15.00 (same +20%)
