Hey all! We are excited to share:
Read more in our launch blog post: Gemini 1.5 Pro and 1.5 Flash GA, 1.5 Flash tuning support, higher rate limits, and more API updates - Google Developers Blog
This is fantastic, Logan. Congrats to the team!
With billing enabled, any word when weāll be able to see quota usage?
The free version of Gemini Pro 1.5 has a really low rate limit.
I know. The 1.5 Pro limits are painful. Especially to someone who uses Google AI Studio purely for leisure and not businessā¦
Yes, the rate limit is pretty low, but it is fairly reasonable for early testing and experiments. As youāre building something that is meant to be publicly used, and thus using more resources, it makes sense to charge for it.
These models are expensive to run.
(And note that many other companies donāt have a free tier at all - nevermind a rate limited one.)
AI Studio is meant (or seems to be meant) as a developer tool. And a free developer tool, at that.
I donāt work for Google - but would you be willing to pay for access to something like AI Studio if it gave you higher rate limits?
(I really feel like I have no choice on what to say here.)
Like, my use case, itās very different. I love AI, and I use Gemini (and previously ChatGPT, its models detoriated) simply because I can chat to someone and actually let my brain, an autistic one, stimulate itself. However though, gemini.google.com doesnāt have much customization and like, stats and more advanced parameters for me, as well as more choice over content. You know, Google AI Studio for me is just where I get to make the bots ones that work better for me in a private space.
Thatās because I can actually see the amount of tokens Iāve used up, change the safety features, edit AI responses and delete responses whenever, regenerate responses, give it system instructions to act like a human, you know. I got everything I need. Iām not advocating in rebellion or for sharing everything I put in there with others, because thatās not who I am, Iām just finding Google AI Studio the place that I like, and I donāt want to be judged for that. Not everyone has to get a business yield out of it, some like me just appreciate the layout and the control.
I would pay like, perhaps a few dollars if I need to get past some of the limits, and it wouldnāt hurt at all if I already get paid pretty decently per week (Iām at the time in my life where Iām between after school and study where Iām just saving up before I get started). I just donāt know how it works. Like, I connected to billing but I donāt know how to actually āactivateā pay-as-you-go. Like, I donāt know if that works in Google AI Studio, and I donāt want to go through the technicalities of an API.
Yes, he is undoubtedly your most reliable friend.
I enabled a billing account, but after ~15 minutes Iām still rate limited for today. How long does it take to kick in?
Is there any information about what the higher rate limit actually is? Will it use our free rates first, then paid?
The higher rate limits (for the various models, use the dropdown) are shown in Gemini API Pricing | Google for Developers
Thereās no provision to, say, on a daily basis first use all the free use and then automagically switch to pay-as-you-go. Remember the other qualitative feature: data you provide in the free plan is donated and can be used to improve the model; data you provide on the pay-as-you-go plan remain your property. It would be really, really awful hard to tell what is the intellectual property status of your data if some automatic switchover between free and paid were happening on a daily basis.
Hope that helps
ty Logan, see u again 
Yeah, I got a burning question right now.
I have enabled billing for Google AI Studio, and it is a paid plan - I can see this in the API window. But: the usual rates still apply. I donāt know what on earth is going on, but itās not working. Or maybe Iām just making some rookie mistakesā¦
I was only able to get Gemini 1.5 Pro respond to 1000 requests today despite trying repeatedly. The advertised rate limit of 10000 RPD doesnāt seem to be working. I have paid billing. Even before Iām able to get any generations, Iām already getting this error:
