Pet peeve on Google's AI rollouts: there's no alignment across the three platforms they have, consumer, prosumer, cloud. Scroll to the end of every release, including this one, and you'll see different availabilities. The fun part is the models don't even have the same capabilities across platforms! Omni Flash, last I tried and read the docs, is video and text out on consumer and prosumer but video out only on GCP. So if your org disables consumer and prosumer, like mine, it's a coin flip whether you can use the fancy new models or what they can do.

Seriously. It's very annoying. Add to that the corporate Google Workspace also getting models later

		It is and frankly, it's always been a Google weakness.

> Pet peeve on Google's AI rollouts: there's no alignment across the three platforms they have...

just remember: despite they would have you believe they are are a united front... they are better thought of as a "loose federation of warring tribes".

		I hear much of what happens there is from PMs who want promotions, which makes me wonder if a goal (like interorg alignment) could be met by freezing their promotions until they Google Meet together & hash it out. I’m reducing into silliness I’m sure, I don’t have any breadth or depth of knowledge here. Edit: wonder why Apple is ostensibly different. MS seems similar, and don’t know enough about AWS—maybe I’ve seen complaints about them being disjointed, but not as much as Google & Microsoft.

		>they are better thought of as a "loose federation of warring tribes". Googly way to put it! Nice. Might steal that :)

An education account I have lists 3.1 Pro, and 3.6 Thinking and Flash as the available models in the app.

My personal account, 3.6 Flash Lite and 3.5 Thinking.

Meanwhile, I can go hog wild and drain my bank account on GCP. I don’t though, because my family has to eat.
