I am a Google AI Ultra subscriber conducting a 31-experiment study of autonomous LLM agents for peer-reviewed publication. Each agent receives the same task in an isolated sandbox without internet access, and its result is scored against reference values. Comparisons include Gemini 3.6/3.8 Flash, Claude Opus 4.8/Opus-5.5/Fable-5.1, GPT-5.5/6, Grok 4.5/4.7, Qwen 3.7 Max, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K3 and Llama 4 Maverick. Gemini 3.6 Flash (High), accessed through the Antigravity CLI, is a core study arm. As of October 13, about 2,365 jobs had completed and about 640 remained (roughly 21%). Since October 12, selecting 3.6 under my subscription redirects to 3.8. Replacing the model mid-study would compromise comparability. Your current documentation lists 3.6 for Enterprise, but no longer for Ultra: [Models | Google Antigravity Docs](https://antigravity.google/docs/models) Could you advice me how to restore temporary 3.6 access under my existing Ultra subscription, or provide a fully Google-funded temporary Enterprise research allocation sufficient to finish these remaining jobs? Any advice is welcome. A second subscription or pay-as-you-go is not alternative for us. ---

Hi @Ahmed_Naceur , Welcome to the Forum. Thank you for reaching out and sharing the details of your benchmarking study. To clarify current availability and options: 1. **Gemini 3.6 Flash Retirement on Consumer Plans** : On our [Models](https://antigravity.google/docs/models#reasoning-model) page, **Gemini 3.6 Flash** and **Gemini 3.7 Flash** have been retired from consumer plans (Free, Google AI Plus, Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra) following the transition to **Gemini 3.8 Flash**. We are unable to re-enable retired model endpoints on individual consumer **Google AI Ultra** accounts. 2. **Enterprise Availability** : On the [Models](https://antigravity.google/docs/models#reasoning-model) page, **Gemini 3.6 Flash** remains listed under **Enterprise** ([Antigravity in Gemini Enterprise](https://antigravity.google/docs/enterprise)). 3. **Research Feedback** : While our forum support team does not have a way to provision temporary Enterprise allocations through the community forum, we have logged your request and shared your feedback regarding legacy model access for academic research studies with the Antigravity product team. ---

Thank you @Rebbanpalli_Naveen for the follow-up and for sharing my research request with the Antigravity product team. Completion of our experiment study currently depends on finishing the original Gemini 3.6 Flash (High) arm. Substituting 3.8 for the remaining runs would compromise comparability with the thousands of jobs already completed et processed. Before posting here, I had already contacted [antigravity-support@google.com](mailto:antigravity-support@google.com) about this issue. Could you please explain how I can receive a follow-up from the product team regarding to your third comment, which seems to be the only available solution.
