What's new

  • Gemini model dropdown — the free-text model field on the settings page is now a dropdown with Google's three alias IDs: Gemini Flash-Lite (gemini-flash-lite-latest, the new default), Gemini Flash (gemini-flash-latest) and Gemini Pro (gemini-pro-latest). Custom model ID… still accepts any model ID. The section now sits directly below the API key.
  • New default: gemini-flash-lite-latest — the alias always points at the newest Flash-Lite release, so the default no longer breaks when Google retires a model version. Flash-Lite also has the most generous free-tier quota of the three; gemini-3.5-flash allows only 20 requests per day on the free tier.
  • Actionable error messages — when Gemini answers 404 (model retired), 429 (daily quota used up) or 503 (overloaded), the error now tells you the fix: pick a different model in the add-on settings. Localized in all 11 languages.

Existing users keep their stored model; the dropdown shows it under Custom model ID…. Switching to Flash-Lite is one click.
