   Google turns on request storage by default for new paid Gemini API projects

   Google's October 26 release note says new paid Gemini API projects now store Generate Content requests by default. Existing projects keep their settings. Developers can turn logging off for a project or set store=false on a request; Google's guide says ordinary logs have a default 55-day retention window, while logs saved to datasets do not expire.

   Google's Gemini API price list doubles every per-token rate on its flagship reasoning model, Gemini 4 Argon, on December 1, 2026 — a month before the Gemini 3 Flash step this desk reported in September.

   Google's Gemini API pricing page gives Gemini 4 Argon a December 1, 2026 doubling on every per-token rate — a month before the January 1, 2027 step this desk reported in September for the Gemini 3 Flash models. Standard input rises from $2.00 to $4.00 per million tokens and output, including thinking tokens, from $10.00 to $20.00; the Batch, Flex, Priority and invite-only Contributor tiers step the same way. Argon is not offered on the free tier at any price, and Google's changelog states no Argon price.

   Google says all requests to gemini-3.7-flash are automatically routed to gemini-3.8-flash, and all requests to gemini-3.5-flash to gemini-3.6-flash, with no shutdown date announced

   Google's Gemini API changelog says gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.5-flash are deprecated and that all requests to them are automatically routed to gemini-3.8-flash and gemini-3.6-flash respectively; it tells developers to update the model string. The items sit under an entry dated October 8 but are missing from an Internet Archive capture of October 9. The deprecations page lists 'No shutdown date announced' for both, and the pricing page no longer has a 3.7 Flash or 3.5 Flash section.

The announcement was read October 9; no endpoint availability was tested.
