I hate that they kinda try to hide the model version. Like if you click the dropdown in the chat box, you can see that "Thinking" means 3 Pro. When you select the "Create images" tool, it doesn't tell you it's using Nano Banana Pro until it actually starts generating the image.

Tell me the model it's using. It's as if Google is trying to unburden me with the knowledge of what model does what but it's just making things more confusing.

Oh, and setting up AI Studio is a mess. First I have to create a project. Then an API key. Then I have to link the API key to the project. Then I have to link the project to the chat session... Come on, Google.
