No price is recorded. A figure that has not been confirmed on the vendor's own price list does not go into the catalogue.

The studio itself is free to use. The API has a free tier with rate limits, and the paid tier is billed per million tokens — a price that is stated as valid until the end of 2026 and doubles after it.

    Google opens the SynthID detector to everyone, and it now reads OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao watermarks too

    On October 7, 2026, Google DeepMind made its SynthID Detector available to anyone, worldwide and in English, at synthid.com. The tool reports whether an image, video, or audio file carries a SynthID watermark from Google or from its partners OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple listed as coming soon. According to Ars Technica, you sign in with a Google, ChatGPT, or Apple account and get roughly 10 checks a day. A negative result does not mean the file is authentic.

    Free Gemini accounts drop to Flash-Lite on October 9, and AI Plus loses Pro

    Google's support page lists which Gemini models each plan keeps once the October changes land. Accounts without a subscription get Flash-Lite only, AI Plus keeps Flash but loses Pro, and only AI Pro and AI Ultra keep all three. Every plan gains an effort selector, and the usage meter stays compute-based with a five-hour refresh.

    A preprint finds six commercial LLM routers no better than a random pick between two models

    A preprint submitted to arXiv on October 2, 2026, tested six commercial LLM routers in 14 settings. According to the authors, none of them beat a router that picks at random between Gemini 3.7 Flash and Opus 5 at the same cost, and one trailed it by 10.5 percentage points. The authors, who work at Fastino Labs, trace the gap to the way routers are evaluated and to rosters that hold too many models. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
