ai studio, you get a bunch of usage free if you want more you buy credits (google one subscriptions also give you some additional usage)

I see -- so this is the "paid" AI studio plan? Does that have any relation to the Gemini plan thing: https://one.google.com/explore-plan/gemini-advanced?utm_sour... ?

that's for the first party google integrations - not 3rd party. ai studio just gives you an api key that you can use anywhere.

What is Gemini 3 under the hood? Is it still just a basic LLM based on transformers? Or are there all kinds of other ML technologies bolted on now? I feel like I've lost the plot.

I am very ignorant in this field but I am pretty sure under the hood they are all still fundamentally built on the transformer architecture, or at least innovations on the original transformer architecture.

It is so impressive that Anthropic has been able to maintain this pricing still.

Because every time I try to move away I realize there’s nothing equivalent to move to.

People insist upon Codex, but it takes ages and has an absolutely hideous lack of taste.

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

With this kind of pricing I wonder if it'll be available in Gemini CLI for free or if it'll stay at 2.5.

There's a waitlist for using Gemini 3 for Gemini CLI free users: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScQBMmnXxIYDnZhPtTP...

I'm sure this is a very impressive model, but gemini-3-pro-preview is failing spectacularly at my fairly basic python benchmark. In fact, gemini-2.5-pro gets a lot closer (but is still wrong). For reference: gpt-5.1-thinking passes, gpt-5.1-instant fails, gpt-5-thinking fails, gpt-5-instant fails, sonnet-4.5 passes, opus-4.1 passes (lesser claude models fail). This is a reminder that benchmarks are meaningless – you…

I'm dying to know what you're giving to it that's choking on. It's actually really impressive if that's the case.

Feels like the same consolidation cycle we saw with mobile apps and browsers are playing out here. The winners aren’t necessarily those with the best models, but those who already control the surface where people live their digital lives. Google injects AI Overviews directly into search, X pushes Grok into the feed, Apple wraps "intelligence" into Maps and on-device workflows, and Microsoft is quietly doing the same…

AI overviews has arguable done more harm than good for them, because people assume it's Gemini, but really it's some ultra light weight model made for handling millions of queries a minute, and has no shortage of stupid mistakes/hallucinations.

Thus far, this is one of the best objective evaluations of real world software engineering...

Idk, Sonnet 4.5 score better than Sonnet 4.0 on that benchmark, but is markedly worse in my usage. The utility of the benchmark is fading as it is gamed.

I find 4.5 a much better model FWIW.

2D SVG is old news. Next frontier is animated 3D. One shot shows there's still progress to be made: https://aistudio.google.com/apps/drive/1XA4HdqQK5ixqi1jD9uMg...

Incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Microsoft hasn't been very quiet about it, at least in my experience. Every time I boot up Windows I get some kind of blurb about an AI feature.
