Gemini 3.0 spotted in the wild through A/B testing

I still don’t really understand the criticism of AI Studio, it’s just the developer environment for trying out models with super low barrier to entry.

Either with the web UI a la OpenAI Playground where you can see all the knobs and buttons the model offers, or by generating an API Key with a couple clicks that you can just copy paste into a Python script or whatever.

It would be much less convenient if they abandoned it and forced you to work in the dense Google Cloud jungle with IAM etc for the sake of forced “simplicity” of offering models in one place.

Well, to me "use AI studio" is just a pretentious thing to say, as if we are all expected to know they have "studio"... on the web. Can't quite put my finger on it but initially I was very put off by it.

You do have a point about the dense Google Cloud jungle. I agree.

It's just really yanky, even compared to other developer environments.

Why is the backend Google Drive? Why do uploaded (and maybe generated?) images end up there, decoupled from the chats they originate from? What quotas am I accessing; those for my free API keys, others, or none at all?
