谷歌削減免費 Gemini 存取權限至最弱模型，5 美元/月訂閱用戶被鎖定在 Pro 之外
谷歌限制免費用戶 Gemini 模型訪問至 flash-lite，切割了 3.6 flash 和 3.1 pro，ai plus 訂閱用戶失去 pro 訪問權限。這影響了普通用戶，與 openai 的 freemium 模型類似。
google is restricting access to its gemini models for personal account users starting october 2026. free users will be limited to the smallest model, flash-lite, while ai plus subscribers ($4.99/month) will lose access to pro and can only use flash-lite and flash. the more powerful models, flash and pro, will require ai pro ($19.99/month) or ai ultra ($99.99 or $199.99/month). this change mirrors openai's freemium model with chatgpt and may set the stage for the larger gemini 4 argon model. casual google ai users, who are unaware of the models they're running, will be most impacted.
