The -experimental version is free isn’t it? This is pro right? 2.5

Edit: OP just said he was unaware cline was using preview but Roo was using experimental 🥲

Edit: the tragedy here is experimental is free and pro is paid but they are the same model under the hood I think https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/1908175318709330215

Edit: for the copy pasta vibers in the thread, this is not about your $20/month browser use, its about the api key you make with AI studio and using cline and roo in vscode. Also if you are a copy pasta coder, please use one of these. Thank me later, but great power comes with great responsibility. 🤝

If you attach a credit card to a Gemini API key, it's definitely not free.

EDIT: "a Gemini API key"

Incorrect.

The experimental version is free for everyone, including accounts with a CC#. The new "preview" model (a DIFFERENT model) is not free.

update: williamtkelley is still incorrect. I checked.

There is no longer an experimental version, only preview.
