I opened ai studio and i see it popping up, on a normal account: https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat?model=gemini-om...
https://flow.google.com/ is where most people would use the model. You get credits with your monthly sub that you can spend on flow.

Never even heard of this until today.
I think they are doing a terrible job with their product packaging. Like others, I also gave up with Google models long ago due to difficulty in accessing and low limits.
My gut is that this is reflective of their fragmented internal product organization around AI.
Google has been like this forever.
Excellent engineering and awful product.
It has been a while, but I used to read AOSP source code quite regularly, and always wondered where do all those engineers that pass the famous Google interviews land, because they certainly weren't writing the Java and C++ code in Android, given how it looked like, or the whole mess with NDK headers, and other stuff in the tooling.
Ah, and the Eclipse/Android Studio stable releases, that usually have bugs as if they were still preview, release candidate ones.

What's clear to me: leetcode and quality code are not the same skillset.
It's okay to say that Google's engineering is also poor. If they had good engineering, they'd study their users and lead to product improvements. It's really not either/or.

I have an Ultra sub and only see Veo and Omni 1.1 models.
Why is this so difficult to figure out?
