GOOGLE PREPARES CREDITS SYSTEM FOR GEMINI

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Google is working on a credit-based system for its Gemini app where users receive a monthly allowance to spend across models and features. Users will be able to top up when they run out of credits. The change will make budgeting for heavy workloads more predictable and give Google a cleaner lever for introducing premium features without forcing users to pay for more expensive plans. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Notion already use a similar consumption model.
