Google Elevates Gemini 3, Redefines ‘Thinking’ and ‘Pro’ Usage Limits
Google has made significant updates to its Gemini 3 service, particularly regarding its Thinking and Pro models. These changes define new usage limits and enhance user experience by separating their shared pool of prompts.
Key Updates in Gemini 3
The Gemini 3 model picker now offers various options tailored to different user needs:
- Fast: Provides quick answers.
- Thinking: Designed for solving complex problems efficiently.
- Pro: Focuses on advanced math and coding tasks.
Initially, both the Thinking and Pro models shared a combined usage limit. Subscribers to AI Pro could access up to 100 prompts per day, while AI Ultra offered up to 500 prompts daily. This setup was based on user feedback requesting more flexibility and clarity in model selection.
Independent Usage Limits: A New Standard
In response, Google has introduced independent model limits for enhanced user control. Here are the updated daily prompt limits for different user tiers:
| User Tier | Thinking Prompts/Day | Pro Prompts/Day |
|---|---|---|
| AI Pro | 300 | 100 |
| AI Ultra | 1500 | 500 |
| Free Users | Basic access | Basic access |
With these changes, users can now efficiently manage their quotas without one model affecting the other. Whether working on complex problem-solving or tackling intricate coding challenges, users enjoy increased freedom to navigate between models.
This upgrade not only enhances functionality but also aligns with Google’s commitment to improving user experience by responding to direct feedback. The delineation of usage limits marks a substantial shift in how Gemini 3 accommodates the needs of its users.
