You linked to a comment about someone on the free tier. Someone else mentioned preview. I use Gemini daily, on a paid basis. Mostly 3.5 Flash Medium. It’s very good for software development, has a great context window, and pricing is about 1/3rd of Claude Opus. I haven’t experienced availability problems except once or twice, certainly no more often than OpenAI or Anthropic. Seems like the complaints about it are mostly from people moaning about Google not giving them AI for free. Good luck with that.
