Actual announcement: https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/ge...

So it's better than 3.6 Flash, at half the price. I've been pretty excited about Gemini models recently, they just feel so fast after spending most of the day at work waiting for Opus 5.

Yes, 3.6 Flash is very fast. I used to get a fair amount of usage of the Gemini Flash models on the free tier. I signed up for their $4.99/month tier (includes 400GB of Google space which was also enticing) and it turns out I only get about 15 to 20 minutes of usage before I get a come-back-in-7-days message. Comically low usage limits on that plan.

    For comparison tho, 400GB of cloud storage for $5/mo is actually quite amazing even if it didn’t include anything else.

    I know, it’s cloud storage, a NAS lets you own your data, but for non techies who have a bunch of photos and videos; it seems like an easy recommendation.
