Google Gemini: Difference between revisions
I've deleted the text about the poorly implemented bias mitigation/censorship stuff as this doesn't really feel like a consumer protection issue. Much like moderation or lack of moderation on other large platforms, freedom-of-speech and the application of moral standards are generally beyond the scope of the wiki, except where they relate to the removal of something the user has paid for (e.g. the Amazon censorship of ebooks problem). Maybe this angle could be used here, but would need rewording |

===Inclusion of stricter usage limits (2026)=== | |||
On May 19th 2026, Google announced Gemini language models will now have stricter usage limits, involving periodic refreshes in order to use the models. Gemini app users received an e-mail, containing the following message: | |||
{{quote| Usage limits in the Gemini app: For the Gemini app, we’re introducing compute-based usage limits that factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use, and the length of your chat. Your limit refreshes every 5 hours until you reach your weekly limit. As an AI Pro subscriber, you’ll enjoy a 4x higher usage limit than non-subscribers.that reset every 5 hours along with overall weekly limits.}} | |||
These usage limits are live since May 20th, 2026. They have a 5-hour refresh, along with an overall weekly refresh. Aspects like a bigger conversational context and the usage of more powerful Gemini models make to reach this limit faster. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Schoon |first=Ben |date=21 May 2026 |title=Gemini’s new usage limits are live, and users already seem frustrated about it |url=https://9to5google.com/2026/05/21/gemini-usage-limits-live-user-reactions/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260521152738/https://9to5google.com/2026/05/21/gemini-usage-limits-live-user-reactions/ |archive-date=2026-05-21|access-date=22 May 2026 |website=9toGoogle}}</ref> | |||
