Traditionally at Google experimental models are 100% free to use on https://aistudio.google.com (this is also where you can see the pricing) with a quite generous rate limit.

This time, the Googler says: “good news! you will be charged for experimental models, though for now it’s still free”

Right but the tweet I was responding to says: "This will mark the first experimental model with higher rate limits + billing. Excited for this to land and for folks to really put the model through the paces!"

I assumed that meant there was a paid version with a higher rate limit coming out today

The parent Twitter post mentions:

    Available as experimental and for free right now in Google AI Studio + API, with pricing coming very soon!

And the pricing page [1] still does not show 2.5 yet.

I expect this might be pricier. Hoping not unusable level expensive.
