Starting today, Google limits free Gemini accounts to the Flash-Lite model. Here is what is changing.

Flash and Pro disappear from free accounts today, leaving only the lightest Flash-Lite model.

The $4.99-a-month tier keeps Flash-Lite and Flash, but Pro moves to pricier plans. Google is emailing subscribers with their individual cutover date.

The $19.99 AI Pro and AI Ultra plans keep all three models — and get a new Deep Think parallel-reasoning feature.

If you use free Gemini for coding, research, or long writing, expect weaker answers — or try a paid tier before your workflow breaks.
