| My Gemini app (updated today) and https://gemini.google.com/ has _3.6_ as the latest selectable model, as a paying Pro user in the US. How is that even possible? Gemini 3.7 was released in August, 3.8 early September. What is going on over there? |

3.8 Flash
3.1 Pro
In both a paid Google Workspace account (without the AI addon) and a free 'GSuite' account, I see: 3.6 Flash
3.6 Thinking
3.1 Pro

| ▲ | wasabi991011 an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I would imagine you are experiencing a bug. I've been using 3.8 daily since its release (on a Pro plan in Canada). I believe this is true of many people. What is your reason to believe this is not a bug specific to a small set of Pro users? | | |
| ▲ | HotHotLava 9 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Would that change anything about the conclusion? Having a "bug" that changes available model options for some small set of Pro users 3 months after launch certainly qualifies as a wtf-are-they-even-doing level of bug in my book. | |
| ▲ | bobtheborg 26 minutes ago | parent | prev [-] | | My paid company Google Workspace account is stuck on 3.6. My free gmail account is not. |

| ▲ | asdfasgasdgasdg an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | That's weird. I got 3.8 and 3.7 on the days they were released. https://imgur.com/a/Xu4wRLM (this is on gemini.google.com, but the same is true of the iOS app and the desktop app). | |
| ▲ | XzAeRosho 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I was reading the announcement and wondering the same. And don't forget, still with 3.1 Pro as the frontier model. | |
| ▲ | ttul an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Indeed. They have this amazing model and you can’t access it in their own branded app. It’s insane. | |

| When I said I was tired of Google launching waitlists I didn't think they would respond by simply not having a waitlist. |

| Yeah what's up with that. Also what's with the next big update for Nano Banana? Nano Banana Pro was released almost a year ago! |

| I'm glad. I already pay $300+ for subs. Please don't tempt me with another $100 sub just because I got curious if the benchmarks were right. |

| They will go through the usual transition of "can't release a model" to "won't load in a harness normal people can use for 3-4 weeks" to "it's smart as hell but completely inept at tool use and coding" like every Gemini release. |

| They're just following the current AI marketing playbook. "Our new model is simply too dangerous to release to the public right away" is now standard practice. They even gave their model a random nonsensical name suffix simply because OpenAI is now doing it, too. Monkey see, monkey do. |

| ▲ | A_D_E_P_T 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm still at a loss as to what argon has to do with anything. Say what you will about Luna-Terra-Sol-Astra, or Haiku-Sonnet-Opus, they make sense. I don't see how Google can make sense of argon; it's in a fairly strange place in the periodic table... | | |
| ▲ | brainwad 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They are going alphabetically, Android style. | | |
| ▲ | IX-103 an hour ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, I heard the next one was Barium...or was it Boron? I was going to say I don't know what they'd do for C, since Carbon and Calcium are already things. But knowing Google, they'll probably call it Chromium. | | |
