Model Responses
Perplexity
Response
1. Pricing tier availability
Stored data is INCORRECT.
- Access is available on Free (limited to ~5 reports/month, Gemini Flash model only)[1][4] and Google AI Pro (full access with Gemini 2.5 Pro or later models)[1][5]. No explicit confirmation for Google AI Plus (possibly legacy or rebranded), Google AI Ultra (may have earliest access to advanced variants like Deep Think, distinct from standard Deep Research)[2][5], or Workspace add-on (available to users but not tier-specific)[4].
- Free limits match (~5/month)[1]; Pro has "full" access without stated caps[1].
- Change: Plan names updated (e.g., "AI Pro" aligns with Google AI Pro); Ultra and Workspace now referenced; limits confirmed matching Free but model differences noted.
2. Platform/surface availability
Stored data is INCORRECT.
- Available on Windows/macOS (desktop/web)[4], iOS/Android (mobile)[4], web (primary access via gemini.google.com)[4], API (Gemini API supports it)[2][5].
- Linux: Likely available via web/browser (no explicit exclusion, unlike stored ❌); Chrome: Available via web app (contradicts stored ❌); terminal: No evidence of availability (matches ❌).
- Change: Linux and Chrome should be ✅ (web-based); desktop covers Windows/macOS (✅).
3. Current status
Stored data is CORRECT.
- Status is GA (generally available, launched December prior, now powered by Gemini 3/2.0 models with wide access)[4].
- No change detected.
4. Access gating
Stored data is CORRECT.
- Gating is free (try at no cost, available without subscription but with Free tier limits)[1][4].
- No change detected.
5. Regional availability
Stored data is INCORRECT.
- Available in 150 countries and 45+ languages (not fully global; restricted outside these)[4]. Also tied to where Gemini web app is supported (~230 countries/70 languages, with geography-based boundaries)[1]. No specific country limitations listed beyond this.
- Change: Narrower than stored "globally where Gemini Advanced is available" (now explicitly 150 countries vs. broader Gemini access).
6. Official URL
Stored data lacks URL; new info confirms https://gemini.google/overview/deep-research/ as official page (active, describes feature, access, and model updates)[4].
- Change: Add this active URL.
7. Recent changes
Stored data does not reflect INCORRECT (new developments post-storage).
- Model upgrades: Now uses Gemini 3/2.0 Flash Thinking (improved planning/reports, from Gemini 1.5 Pro)[4]; Deep Think variant (science/engineering-focused, Ultra/API)[2].
- Free tier expansion confirmed with 5/month limit (March 2026)[1].
- API access for select users[2][5]; persistent memory/proactive insights in testing (2026 rollout)[3].
- Changes in last 30 days: Gemini 3 Deep Think upgrade (early 2026 announcements)[2][7]; no explicit March post-March 1 events in results.
