Google will change which Gemini models are available to personal-account users starting in October 2026, according to information from the Gemini app Help Center cited by IT Home and relayed by ChainCatcher. Beginning on Oct. 9, 2026, free personal users on both the web and app versions of Gemini will no longer receive default access to the full Flash model or the Pro model. Their access will be shifted to the smaller, lighter Flash-Lite model. After the change takes effect, non-subscribers will only be able to use Flash-Lite. AI Plus subscribers will retain access to Flash-Lite and Flash, but Pro model access will be removed. Google will send emails to AI Plus subscribers explaining when the change will apply to their accounts. Users on the AI Pro and AI Ultra plans will continue to have access to Flash-Lite, Flash, and Pro.
