If you were hoping to create some silly images this long holiday weekend with Google's new Nano Banana Pro model, I have some bad news: the company is restricting free usage of the AI system. In a support document spotted by 9to5Google , Google notes free users can currently generate two images daily, down from three per day previously. "Image generation and editing is in high demand," the company writes. "Limits may change frequently and will reset daily." It would appear Google is also limiting free Gemini 3 Pro usage, with the document stating non-paying users will get “basic access — daily limits may change frequently" as well. When the company first began rolling out Gemini 3 Pro on November 18 , it guaranteed five free prompts per day. That was in line with Gemini 2.5 Pro . If you pay for either Google AI Pro or AI Ultra plan, your usage limits have not changed. They remain at 100 and 500 prompts per day, respectively. Google isn't the first company to enforce stricter usage following a popular release. You may recall OpenAI delayed rolling out ChatGPT's built-in image generator to free users after the feature turned out to be more popular than anticipated. However, OpenAI eventually brought image generation to free users.

At a glance Top Picks in streaming and sports entertainment Apple TV : It’s a great service, and this deal will save you $42 over six months. Disney+ and Hulu : Both the with-ads and ad-free deals offer substantial savings over a full year ($96 and $60 respectively). NFL Sunday Ticket : Football fans who snap up this deal will save $48 for the rest of the regular season. Starz : The one-year-for-$11.99 option is the one to take with this service. Walmart+ : If you shop at Walmart, this half-off membership deal includes a full year of either Peacock or Paramount+ Essential One thing became clear as we assembled these deals: The streaming companies see higher value in customers who subscribe to their plans that include ads, over what are otherwise the same services without ads. The savings you’ll get without ads is almost always less (as a percentage) than what you’ll get if you’re willing to put up with commercial breaks. Of course, with some channels—especially those carrying live TV and sports–you’ll get ads with some content even if you’re paying the higher no-ads price.

While generative AI systems cannot be considered inventors under US patent laws , the US Patent and Trademark Office has updated its guidelines on how they can be used in the process of creating innovations. The agency's director, John Squires, said in a notice obtained by Reuters that the USPTO deems genAI to be "analogous" to other tools that inventors might use in their process, including lab equipment, software and research databases. "AI systems, including generative AI and other computational models, are instruments used by human inventors," Squires wrote. "They may provide services and generate ideas, but they remain tools used by the human inventor who conceived the claimed invention." The notice [ PDF ], which is set to be published in the Federal Register on November 28, notes that there's no separate process for evaluating whether an AI-assisted invention qualifies for a patent. "When multiple natural persons are involved in creating an invention with AI assistance, the traditional joint inventorship principles apply," Squires added. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has ruled that "AI cannot be named as an inventor on a patent application (or issued patent) and that only natural persons can be inventors." There's no change to that stance under the latest USPTO guidelines. But the updated rules do offer more clarity as to whether things like new medications that are developed with the help of genAI systems can be patented.
