I was a big fan of that model but it has been replaced in AI Studio by its preview version, which, by comparison, is pretty bad. I hope Google makes the release version much closer to the experimental one.

I can confirm the model name in Run Settings has been updated to "Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview ..." when it used to be "Gemini 2.5 Pro (Experimental) ...".

I cannot confirm if the quality is downgraded since I haven't had enough time with it. But if what you are saying is correct, I would be very sad. My big fear is the full-fat Gemini 2.5 Pro will be prohibitively expensive, but a dumbed down model (for the sake of cost) would also be saddening.

The AI Studio product lead said on Twitter that it is exactly the same model just renamed for clarity when pricing was announced
