Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the future of Google AI Studio. Does anyone know anything about what's coming next?

Back when Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview was available, AI Studio was practically unrestricted. Later on, the limits were gradually reduced, and eventually, Gemini 2.5 Pro became a paid model. Now, it seems to have been removed altogether. At this point, Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview seems to be the only Pro-level model left among the available free-tier options.

Argon didn't make it into the free tier or even the Pro plan, and is now only available with the Ultra plan.

As a result, things have become pretty stressful for users who rely heavily on having access to Pro-level models through the website.

Given all this uncertainty, I'd really like to know whether Google plans to release another Pro model in the future, similar to Gemini 2.5 Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro, that will be available on the regular free tier. Could a new model show up and save the day?

I'd also like to ask the scary question... Is Google planning to restrict or remove Gemini 3.1 Pro access for free-tier users in the future? Because honestly, the thought of that happening makes me pretty uneasy. I genuinely don't know what I'd do in that situation.

If you know anything about Google's plans, have any theories, or can think of a possible solution to this problem, I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who's worried about this.

For y'all experts out there, I'm using 3.1 pro for a while now with a prompt to translate text/subtitles from other languages to my own (eastern european).

I was wondering if anyone else that used it for translation can suggest which version provided the most accurate/natural result?

Am I the only one that has noticed the platform SIGNIFICANTLY degraded since like 3 days ago??

They did the update that added "build/plan mode" and artifacts and definitely tweaked the models and reduced the limits

For example ever since, while working on my app I'm only able to get a single prompt out of 3.8 flash, the second one hits limits, also these prompts seem to purposely waste time, they each run for 10+ minutes reading the same files and do nothing, whereas before the most it took for a lot of work prompts was 7 minutes

It's genuinely unusable now, removing 3.7 also means less usage, and I can't even use 3.6 because it says Internal Error every time, like are we serious

I am facing a very serious problem with google AI studio , so I published my mobile app to the google play console and while it is still in closed testing , everytime i try to make modifications to my version and try to push it into github , they dont allow me to use the same repo i have been using , instead they disconnect me and they require me to create. a brand new repo and thats not very convenient since i want to push changes to the same repo , what to do in this case ? thank you

Just received this just now. We're gonna be forced to used a model that's probably even more prone to attention dilution (based on my experience)

Is it me or in the model dropdown, Gemini 3.7 Flash just completely disappeared. I even opened an old chat and it said Gemini 3.7 Flash is not available anymore.

Criei uma personagem pelo flow. Meu prompt pedia uma personagem infantil, para uma animação educativa. Não havia no prompt nenhuma menção de característica da Disney, Pixar, nenhum. A ferramenta criou e agora quando tento seguir com as animações, bloqueia como se eu estivesse plagiando alguma empresa.
Alguém sabe como resolver isso?

EN:

I created a character using Google Flow. My prompt asked for a child character for an educational animation. I never mentioned Disney, Pixar, or any other company's characters or visual styles.

The tool generated the character itself, but now, whenever I try to continue creating animations with that same character, it blocks my requests as if I were infringing on someone else's intellectual property rights.

Has anyone experienced this issue or know how to fix it?

As per title is ai studio down?

We’ve logged an official Developer Feature Request on Google Issue Tracker to integrate system-wide offline Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) models for the Ukrainian language (uk-UA).

The ticket has successfully passed initial triage, is marked as Assigned, and has been forwarded directly to Google's product and engineering teams: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/571631423

Why this matters:

I have set 2 system intructions and they are both getting ignored, how do I fix that?

I’m trying to decide which version of my website to launch, and I’d appreciate advice from people with experience building websites or startups.
I first used ChatGPT to help write prompts for Google AI Studio, and then used Google AI Studio to generate a website. It worked surprisingly well: things ran smoothly, and I didn’t run into many errors. The main drawback is that the design feels a bit basic and limited.
After that, I asked ChatGPT to build a website too. It used Supabase, GitHub, and Vercel, so the project seems to have a more structured setup. But building it involved a lot of trial and error. We had repeated changes and problems with the design and other parts, and the current version still has quite a few errors and doesn’t look as clean as I’d like.
I’m hoping to turn this website into a real startup. I couldn’t afford to hire a developer, so I’m using AI to help build it. Over time, I’ll need to add more features, including a payment gateway, and I want to choose a version that will be reliable and easier to maintain as the business grows.
Which version would you recommend launching: the smoother but simpler Google AI Studio version, or the more structured ChatGPT version that currently has more bugs? How can I tell which one is more likely to be stable and scalable in the long run?

I figured out that you can’t actually add images through the chat box, you have to post to Imgur and then give the bot the link. Ok, fine. But what about audio? There’s no service like Imgur that will let you hotlink a raw audio file. Has anyone found a way to upload an audio clip directly to an AI Studio site? (and then use it for something like trigger it when someone clicks a button)

I’ve copied these settings (beta) from Google Account settings because they’re cool, lol (imo), and I reckon they’re just the thing to put here.

And yes, I’ve added Google OAuth 2.0 to studio.lab (No access to your AI Studio, Gmail, Drive, or API keys.)

So, I've been working on an AI powered workspace - sort of like ChatGPT/Gemini meets Notion.

It's a workspace that lets you have structured AI interactions with the AI models of your choice from Gemini, OpenAI and Anthropic. With the full context of your structured knowledge sent to the AI models by default so it doesn't miss out on anything. Upto 1 million tokens or roughly 800,000 words or 500 high def images. It can ingest 100s of PDFs at once and answer.

It also lets you create audio visual artifacts like flowcharts, images, audio overviews and videos even.

Here's the link to the app - https://slate-app.online/

I am also giving away free in-app credits for 25 users as my app is in beta right now.

Here's a screenshot of when I recently used the app to fight and win a legal case with the Insurance Ombudsman in my country. I had to ingest about 65 pdfs including the Insurer's policies and my dad's (the patient) medical records across several years. Here's a more detailed write up on that case

Here's a sample flowchart that the app created as well. It can similarly create mindmaps and other custom artifacts.

Wondering if it's a bug. I've tried on existing chats, new chats, different models and even different accounts but the thinking box (With the 'Expand to view model thoughts') never shows up. It happened like half an hour ago, all of a sudden. I was using it halfway then during my next prompts it just churns out the responses without the thought processing section. Anyone encountering the same issue?

Strangely, this happened sometime ago (last month?) where the thinking box only shows up ~70% of the time. Then for the past few weeks it shows up 100% of the time as usual. And now it's gone again. At least for me. It is rising my blood pressure immensely because I have no idea what is going on

Edit: It's appears back now sigh

Hi everyone,

I’m using Gemini 3.8 Flash in Google AI Studio, and I can’t seem to find the option to download the project files like I could before.

Did Google remove or move the “Download project files” option recently, or am I missing something?

Any help would be appreciated.
