Google AI Studio updated two sentences in its Gemini API Terms of Service, detected on August 27, 2026. The previous text describing 'The Interactions API' and recommending it 'for access to all the latest features and models' was replaced with language stating 'Gemini 3.7 Flash is now available' and inviting users to 'Try it out'. This represents a product update notification rather than a change to developer rights, obligations, or commercial terms.
