		guybedo on Feb 15, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Our next-generation model: Gemini 1.5 looks interesting enough that i wanted to give Gemini a try and join the waitlist. And i thought it would be easy, what a rookie mistake. Looks like "France" isn't on the list of available regions for Ai Studio ? Now i'm trying to use Vertex AI, not even sure what's the difference with Ai Studio, but it seems it's available. So far i've been struggling for 15 minutes through a maze of google cloud pages: console, docs, signups. No end in sight, looks like i won't be able to try it out

It's not available outside of a private preview yet. The page says you can use 1.0 ultra in vertex but it's not available to me in the UK.

I can't get on the waitlist, because the waitlist link redirects to aistudio and I can't use that.

I should stop expecting that I can use literally anything google announces.
