Google AI Studio is Google's browser console for the Gemini API. You try prompts, upload files, pick a model, then export SDK code. Google's own page calls it the fastest path from prompt to production with Gemini, Veo, Nano Banana, and more.
The current Flash workhorse is Gemini 3.8 Flash (gemini-3.8-flash). Google published it on 2 September 2026 and the model docs include a Try in Google AI Studio link. It takes text, image, video, audio, and PDF, with a 1,048,576 token input limit and 65,536 token output limit. Supported capabilities include thinking, code execution, function calling, file search, Search grounding, Maps grounding, structured outputs, URL context, and computer use in preview. Introductory API pricing is $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens through 31 December 2026.
Studio also holds API keys and usage, official SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Go, Java, and C++, and the Interactions API for stateful multi-turn agents with tool execution. The Gemini 3 page in Studio still lists 3.1 Pro, 3.5 Flash, and 3.1 Flash-Lite. Use AI Studio when you want 3.8 Flash in the UI before you write a client or move the same API onto Vertex AI.
Best for developers who need to try Gemini 3.8 Flash, Veo, or Nano Banana in the browser and export Gemini API code.
Not ideal if you want a consumer chatbot, or if you need Vertex AI IAM, VPC, and enterprise compliance from day one.
