PawelHuryn · x · 2026-11-14

Pawel Huryn updated his Gemini plan-to-model matrix after reader corrections: student/trial Pro plans reportedly get Flash only; Free and Plus list Hydrogen in Google's docs but not in its launch post; paid Pro ($19.99/mo) gets Flash, Hydrogen and Argon; Carbon still requires Ultra, Enterprise or the API. The same restrictions apply in VS Code and Cursor via API key or Google AI Ultra.
