Google to limit model selection in Gemini Free and Plus plans from 9 October
From 9 October, the Gemini Free plan will use only Flash-Lite, currently at version 3.5. The paid Plus plan will offer models no more advanced than Flash. Until now, both plans have also allowed access to more advanced models.
Google will change model availability in the two lowest-tier Gemini plans from 9 October. The Free plan will use only Flash-Lite, whose current version is 3.5 according to the article. The paid Plus plan will offer models no more advanced than Flash.
Until now, both plans have also allowed access to more advanced models. The source lists a price of 150 or 300 Kč for the Plus plan. Details are available in the source article.
Why it matters
The restriction changes the options for choosing a plan based on the model you need. It will also affect paying users: the Plus plan will be capped at Flash.
Two audiences, two different impacts
What this means
For individuals
If you use a more advanced model on the Free plan, you will lose access to it under that plan from 9 October and will have only Flash-Lite available.
For a business
For companies using the Free or Plus plans for work tasks, the change affects how they plan access to models. Their existing choice of plans may no longer meet the requirements of workflows that depend on more advanced models.
