If you’re already paying $20 a month for Google One AI Premium (the one with the 2TB storage and Gemini Advanced). You get $10 monthly credit for Google Cloud/GCP. As of Jan 1 2026. But you have to claim it. https://developers.google.com/program/my-benefits

If you are a paid user of Google AI Pro, you can access the Gemini 3 Pro model by installing the Gemini Code Assist plugin / Gemini CLI in a Firebase studio workspace and manually login to your google account. This way you will be using the account quota and can save the $10 API credit for other uses.

It’s actually confusing that Firebase Studio has its own Gemini “plugin“ and is different from the public Gemini Code Assist. I hope they will have better intergrations.

You then have to use the CLI, yes? Can you use it in the agent pane?

You can. To use Gemini 3 pro in agent mode you need to install the Gemini Code Assist plugin and then follow the instructions in the pasted page to “enable the Gemini CLI Preview Features setting“ and restart the Firebase studio workspace.

I have no idea why its still in preview and users have to set it manually though..

A lot of people don’t realize that if you’re already subscribed to Google AI Pro, you can access Gemini 3 Pro inside a Firebase Studio workspace by installing Gemini Code Assist (or using the Gemini CLI) and logging in manually with your Google account. That’s a smart way to use your existing account quota instead of consuming the $10 API credit unnecessarily.

You’re also right — it’s confusing that Firebase Studio has its own built-in Gemini integration while there’s also the public Gemini Code Assist product. From a developer experience perspective, it feels like two parallel systems that don’t fully align yet.

Hopefully Google will unify these experiences so authentication, quota usage, and model access are clearer and more seamless. Right now, it definitely requires a bit of trial and error to understand which quota you’re actually using.

Appreciate you pointing this out — this will probably save some developers both time and API credits.
