  "account": "When you are immersed in a Google AI Studio session, whether testing intricate prompts with advanced models like Gemini-4-Carbon or generating videos with Omni, you shouldn't have to switch between multiple websites to set up billing or claim credits when you reach a quota limit. Starting today, you can handle free API credits directly within AI Studio. This means you can create a Developer Program profile, link your billing, and monitor your balance, all without leaving your workspace.\n\nGoogle AI Pro and Ultra subscribers already enjoy recurring monthly Google Cloud credits as part of their membership through the Google Developer Program. The Google Developer Program is a free membership that brings together tools, learning resources, and perks across various Google platforms, including AI Studio, Google Cloud, Firebase, Android, and more. To access these developer benefits such as monthly Google Cloud credits, higher Google Antigravity quotas, and Google Skills credits, an active profile is necessary for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.\n\nIf you don't have an existing profile, the new workflow in AI Studio will automatically create one for you once you redeem your credits. Google AI Pro and Ultra plans include monthly Google Cloud credits that you can directly allocate towards Gemini API usage for tasks like prompting, building, and deploying AI-powered applications within Google AI Studio.\n\nThe amount of your monthly credit varies depending on your AI plan tier. For instance, whether you are generating content with your first Gemini API key, vibing coding a comprehensive application, or deploying your application to production with Google Cloud Run, your Google AI subscription provides an immediate boost. To begin your journey, visit Google AI Studio and start building today.",
