Google limits free Gemini users to Auto model selection

Google has started restricting the free tier of its Gemini app so free users can no longer manually choose specific AI models, instead being served through an 'Auto' mode that picks a model automatically. The change, announced last week, is now rolling out to free-plan users and is being discussed as another example of AI companies narrowing what their free offerings include, pushing people toward paid subscriptions for more control.
Why now: Google has begun enforcing a announced change that reduces model choice for free Gemini users, prompting discussion about the shrinking free tier of AI services.
