    It seems that they still block access from Europe, or from Germany at least.

    Use one of the router services

    I can access it from Greece through AI Studio just fine.

    In EU they forbid us newspapers from non-approved countries, impose cookies banners everywhere, and now block porn. Soon they will forbid some AI models which have not passed EU censorship ("safety") validation. Because we all know that governments (or even Google with Android) are better at knowing what is the safest for you.

    Since API currently is not working (seems rate limits not set for Image Generation yet) I tried on fal.

    Definitely inferior to results I see on AI Studio and image generation time is 6s on AI Studio vs 30 seconds on Fal.AI

    > Definitely inferior to results

    Quality or latency?

    It's not you vs us. Same spec of dust in the universe, y'know.

    Latency. Started using API. Gets response directly on Gemini API in under 6 seconds. Fal.ai takes about 30 seconds.
