I wonder why my consumer Gemini app has Argon and 3.8 flash with a pro plan but so many people here don't have that.
Is the issue that consumers get it sooner or is the roll out random or locked to some other factor?

At the same time, the CLI saw the new models without any change. Possibly that was just because my CLI install was newer than the GUI one. (Edit: oh, it's because my CLI autoupdates. Autoupdates for the GUI on Linux in an AppImage is... messy.)
Edit: But in this case:

I.e. Seems to be API only right now.
The gist of it is that there are many different "Pro" plans, and the model access/quota depends on things like whether or not you are a workspace "Pro" user, whether or not you are a discount/promo "Pro" user, whether or not you are a 3rd party "Pro" user, and then also beyond all that what country you are in. Common examples of these gimped "pro" plans are Pixel "pro" plans that came with pixel purchases, and Jio "Pro" plans which are discounted plans available through a telecom provider popular in India.
But if you have a normal Google account, and pay the full $20/mo, and live in a country that doesn't have tight regulations, you'll get the proper Pro account.
