gemini 3.5 flash is free now 😳
google quietly made their newest flash model free-tier eligible. no credit card, 1M context window, and most people are still posting about the old 2.5 models.
what you get for $0:
- gemini 3.5 flash (google's newest, free tier)
- gemini 3.1 flash-lite for high-volume cheap calls
- full 1M token context on every free model
- 1,500 requests/day, native multimodal (text, image, audio, video)
- openai-compatible, one base url change
full setup (2 min):
step 1: grab a free api key
> go to https://t.co/bvoogVXOtj
> sign in with any google account
> click "get api key", no billing setup
step 2: point any client at gemini
> works in cursor, cline, claude code, anything openai-compatible
> or just prototype in the studio ui and hit "get code"
step 3: pick your model
> gemini-3.5-flash for the strong one
> gemini-3.1-flash-lite for cheap high-volume steps
important:
- pro models left the free tier april 1, flash and flash-lite only now
- free-tier prompts can be used to train google's models, don't send sensitive data
- limits are per project, extra keys don't add quota
- 1,500 req/day resets daily, plenty for building and testing
frontier-class model + 1M context + $0
while most guides are still telling you to use last-gen models
save this, the free tier shifts almost monthly
