I have been using ai studio for over a day now building a website and I have realized that after so many prompts it is now taking over 500 seconds to complete anything with 3.1 pro. Has there been any work around to this? I was able to go into the code yesterday and fix the issue i was having with the “ revision errors “ but after that i have really had nothing but problems. ---

@pushgit estou há 3 dias com o mesmo problema, os meus apps demoram cerca de 600 segundos para criar uma imagem, antes isto era feito em 5 segundos, é irritante o tanto de problemas todos os dias! ---

500 seconds is quick. 😆 I have had many times where it goes to 1200 seconds and times out. However, it has improved a lot lately, where 500 seconds is much faster. As far as I understand, the speed at which the model runs is based off how much you are asking of it and how much compute is readily available on Google’s server-end. ---

This is a known issue with long conversations in AI Studio — the context window grows with every message, and after many prompts the model has to process a huge amount of tokens each time, which is what slows things down. A few things that actually help: 1. **Start a new chat** — this is the quickest fix. A fresh conversation has no history to process. 2. 1. **Reduce context** — if you need continuity, try summarizing the conversation and starting fresh with just the summary as the system prompt. 3. 1. **Switch models** — Flash models (like Gemini 2.0 Flash) are significantly faster than Pro and usually good enough for iterative coding tasks. 4. 1. **Try off-peak hours** — server load does affect response time, especially on the free tier. The 500-second delays are usually context length + server load combined. Starting fresh typically cuts it back to a few seconds. ---

Hi there, these fixes are not actually useful: I give gemini 3.1 pro a different personality and background for every chat depending on what I need. This allows me to drill down deep into any issue I want to discuss. The chats are fantastic as it is like having a team of expert professionals guiding you. Creating a new chat from the beginning simply erases that depth and wastes time. I have no idea what you guys think you are doing. Whatever it is you took a fantastic product and created a disaster with no clear end in sight.
