+## Model Routing
+
+Gemini CLI includes a model routing feature that automatically switches to a
+fallback model in case of a model failure. This feature is enabled by default
+and provides resilience when the primary model is unavailable.
+
+## How it Works
+
+Model routing is not based on prompt complexity, but is a fallback mechanism.
+Here's how it works:
+
+1.  **Model Failure:** If the currently selected model fails to respond (for
+    example, due to a server error or other issue), the CLI will initiate the
+    fallback process.
+
+2.  **User Consent:** The CLI will prompt you to ask if you want to switch to
+    the fallback model. This is handled by the `fallbackModelHandler`.
+
+3.  **Fallback Activation:** If you consent, the CLI will activate the fallback
+    mode by calling `config.setFallbackMode(true)`.
+
+4.  **Model Switch:** On the next request, the CLI will use the
+    `DEFAULT_GEMINI_FLASH_MODEL` as the fallback model. This is handled by the
+    `resolveModel` function in
+    `packages/cli/src/zed-integration/zedIntegration.ts` which checks if
+    `isInFallbackMode()` is true.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Model routing is controlled by the `useModelRouter` setting in your
+`settings.json` file.
+
+- **`"experimental.useModelRouter": true` (Default):** Enables the model
+  routing/fallback feature.
+
+- **`"experimental.useModelRouter": false`:** Disables the model
+  routing/fallback feature. If a model fails, the CLI will not attempt to switch
+  to a fallback model.
+
+### Model Selection Precedence
+
+The model used by Gemini CLI is determined by the following order of precedence:
+
+1.  **`--model` command-line flag:** A model specified with the `--model` flag
+    when launching the CLI will always be used.
+2.  **`GEMINI_MODEL` environment variable:** If the `--model` flag is not used,
+    the CLI will use the model specified in the `GEMINI_MODEL` environment
+    variable.
+3.  **`model.name` in `settings.json`:** If neither of the above are set, the
+    model specified in the `model.name` property of your `settings.json` file
+    will be used.
+4.  **Default Model:** If none of the above are set, the default model will be
+    used. The default model is determined by the `useModelRouter` setting:
+    - If `useModelRouter` is `true`, the default model is `"auto"`.
+    - If `useModelRouter` is `false`, the default model is the standard Gemini
+      model.

+
+Note: Gemini 3 is not currently available on all account types. To learn more
+about Gemini 3 access, refer to
+[Gemini 3 Pro on Gemini CLI](../get-started/gemini-3.md).
+
+To enable Gemini 3 Pro (if available), enable
+[**Preview features** by using the `settings` command](../cli/settings.md). Once
+enabled, Gemini CLI will attempt to use Gemini 3 Pro when you select **Auto** or
+**Pro**. Both **Auto** and **Pro** will try to use Gemini 3 Pro before falling
+back to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
+
+You can also use the `--model` flag to specify a particular Gemini model on
+startup. For more details, refer to the
+[configuration documentation](./configuration.md).
 
 Changes to these settings will be applied to all subsequent interactions with

+Control your Gemini CLI experience with the `/settings` command. The `/settings`
+command opens a dialog to view and edit all your Gemini CLI settings, including
+your UI experience, keybindings, and accessibility features.
+
+Your Gemini CLI settings are stored in a `settings.json` file. In addition to
+using the `/settings` command, you can also edit them in one of the following
+locations:
+
+- **User settings**: `~/.gemini/settings.json`
+- **Workspace settings**: `your-project/.gemini/settings.json`

+# Gemini 3 Pro on Gemini CLI (Join the Waitlist)
+
+We’re excited to bring Gemini 3 Pro to Gemini CLI. For Google AI Ultra users
+(Google AI Ultra for Business is not currently supported) and paid Gemini and
+Vertex API key holders, Gemini 3 Pro is already available and ready to enable.
+For everyone else, we're gradually expanding access
+[through a waitlist](https://goo.gle/geminicli-waitlist-signup). Sign up for the
+waitlist now to access Gemini 3 Pro once approved.
+
+**Note:** Please wait until you have been approved to use Gemini 3 Pro to enable
+**Preview Features**. If enabled early, the CLI will fallback to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
+
+## Do I need to join the waitlist?
+
+The following users will be **automatically granted access** to Gemini 3 Pro on
+Gemini CLI:
+
+- Google AI Ultra subscribers (excluding Google AI Ultra for Business, which is
+  on the roadmap).
+- Gemini API key users
+  [with access to Gemini 3](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits).
+- Vertex API key users
+  [with access to Gemini 3](https://docs.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/quotas).
+
+For **Gemini Code Assist Enterprise users**, access is coming soon.
+
+Users not automatically granted access through one of these account types will
+need to join the waitlist. This includes Google AI Pro, Gemini Code Assist
+standard, and free tier users.
+
+Note: Whether you’re automatically granted access or accepted from the waitlist,
+you’ll still need to enable Gemini 3 Pro
+[using the `/settings` command](../cli/settings.md).
+
+## How to join the waitlist
+
+Users not automatically granted access will need to join the waitlist. Follow
+these instructions to sign up:
+
+- Install Gemini CLI.
+- Authenticate using the **Login with Google** option. You’ll see a banner that
+  says “Gemini 3 is now available.” If you do not see this banner, update your
+  installation of Gemini CLI to the most recent version.
+- Fill out this Google form:
+  [Access Gemini 3 in Gemini CLI](https://goo.gle/geminicli-waitlist-signup).
+  Provide the email address of the account you used to authenticate with Gemini
+  CLI.
+
+Users will be onboarded in batches, subject to availability. When you’ve been
+granted access to Gemini 3 Pro, you’ll receive an acceptance email to your
+submitted email address.
+
+## How to use Gemini 3 Pro with Gemini CLI
+
+Once you receive your acceptance email–or if you are automatically granted
+access–you still need to enable Gemini 3 Pro within Gemini CLI.
+
+To enable Gemini 3 Pro, use the `/settings` command in Gemini CLI and set
+**Preview Features** to `true`.
+
+For more information, see [Gemini CLI Settings](../cli/settings.md).
+
+### Usage limits and fallback
+
+Gemini CLI will tell you when you reach your Gemini 3 Pro daily usage limit.
+When you encounter that limit, you’ll be given the option to switch to Gemini
+2.5 Pro, upgrade for higher limits, or stop. You’ll also be told when your usage
+limit resets and Gemini 3 Pro can be used again.
+
+Similarly, when you reach your daily usage limit for Gemini 2.5 Pro, you’ll see
+a message prompting fallback to Gemini 2.5 Flash.
+
+### Capacity errors
+
+There may be times when the Gemini 3 Pro model is overloaded. When that happens,
+Gemini CLI will ask you to decide whether you want to keep trying Gemini 3 Pro
+or fallback to Gemini 2.5 Pro.
+
+**Note:** The **Keep trying** option uses exponential backoff, in which Gemini
+CLI waits longer between each retry, when the system is busy. If the retry
+doesn't happen immediately, please wait a few minutes for the request to
+process.
+
+## Model selection & routing types
+
+When using Gemini CLI, you may want to control how your requests are routed
+between models. By default, Gemini CLI uses **Auto** routing.
+
+When using Gemini 3 Pro, you may want to use Auto routing or Pro routing to
+manage your usage limits:
+
+- **Auto routing:** Auto routing first determines whether a prompt involves a
+  complex or simple operation. For simple prompts, it will automatically use
+  Gemini 2.5 Flash. For complex prompts, if Gemini 3 Pro is enabled, it will use
+  Gemini 3 Pro; otherwise, it will use Gemini 2.5 Pro.
+- **Pro routing:** If you want to ensure your task is processed by the most
+  capable model, use `/model` and select **Pro**. Gemini CLI will prioritize the
+  most capable model available, including Gemini 3 Pro if it has been enabled.
+
+To learn more about selecting a model and routing, refer to
+[Gemini CLI Model Selection](../cli/model.md).

-# Multi File Read Tool (`read_many_files`)
-
-> **Deprecated:** This tool is deprecated and will be removed in v0.14.0. Please
-> use `read_file` instead. If you need to read multiple files, you can make
-> multiple parallel calls to `read_file`.
-
-This document describes the `read_many_files` tool for the Gemini CLI.
-
-## Description
-
-Use `read_many_files` to read content from multiple files specified by paths or
-glob patterns. The behavior of this tool depends on the provided files:
-
-- For text files, this tool concatenates their content into a single string.
-- For image (e.g., PNG, JPEG), PDF, audio (MP3, WAV), and video (MP4, MOV)
-  files, it reads and returns them as base64-encoded data, provided they are
-  explicitly requested by name or extension.
-
-`read_many_files` can be used to perform tasks such as getting an overview of a
-codebase, finding where specific functionality is implemented, reviewing
-documentation, or gathering context from multiple configuration files.
-
-**Note:** `read_many_files` looks for files following the provided paths or glob
-patterns. A directory path such as `"/docs"` will return an empty result; the
-tool requires a pattern such as `"/docs/*"` or `"/docs/*.md"` to identify the
-relevant files.
-
-### Arguments
-
-`read_many_files` takes the following arguments:
-
-- `paths` (list[string], required): An array of glob patterns or paths relative
-  to the tool's target directory (e.g., `["src/**/*.ts"]`,
-  `["README.md", "docs/*", "assets/logo.png"]`).
-- `exclude` (list[string], optional): Glob patterns for files/directories to
-  exclude (e.g., `["**/*.log", "temp/"]`). These are added to default excludes
-  if `useDefaultExcludes` is true.
-- `include` (list[string], optional): Additional glob patterns to include. These
-  are merged with `paths` (e.g., `["*.test.ts"]` to specifically add test files
-  if they were broadly excluded, or `["images/*.jpg"]` to include specific image
-  types).
-- `recursive` (boolean, optional): Whether to search recursively. This is
-  primarily controlled by `**` in glob patterns. Defaults to `true`.
-- `useDefaultExcludes` (boolean, optional): Whether to apply a list of default
-  exclusion patterns (e.g., `node_modules`, `.git`, non image/pdf binary files).
-  Defaults to `true`.
-- `respect_git_ignore` (boolean, optional): Whether to respect .gitignore
-  patterns when finding files. Defaults to true.
-
-## How to use `read_many_files` with the Gemini CLI
-
-`read_many_files` searches for files matching the provided `paths` and `include`
-patterns, while respecting `exclude` patterns and default excludes (if enabled).
-
-- For text files: it reads the content of each matched file (attempting to skip
-  binary files not explicitly requested as image/PDF) and concatenates it into a
-  single string, with a separator `--- {filePath} ---` between the content of
-  each file. Uses UTF-8 encoding by default.
-- The tool inserts a `--- End of content ---` after the last file.
-- For image and PDF files: if explicitly requested by name or extension (e.g.,
-  `paths: ["logo.png"]` or `include: ["*.pdf"]`), the tool reads the file and
-  returns its content as a base64 encoded string.
-- The tool attempts to detect and skip other binary files (those not matching
-  common image/PDF types or not explicitly requested) by checking for null bytes
-  in their initial content.
-
-Usage:
-
-```
-read_many_files(paths=["Your files or paths here."], include=["Additional files to include."], exclude=["Files to exclude."], recursive=False, useDefaultExcludes=false, respect_git_ignore=true)
-```
-
-## `read_many_files` examples
-
-Read all TypeScript files in the `src` directory:
-
-```
-read_many_files(paths=["src/**/*.ts"])
-```
-
-Read the main README, all Markdown files in the `docs` directory, and a specific
-logo image, excluding a specific file:
-
-```
-read_many_files(paths=["README.md", "docs/**/*.md", "assets/logo.png"], exclude=["docs/OLD_README.md"])
-```
-
-Read all JavaScript files but explicitly include test files and all JPEGs in an
-`images` folder:
-
-```
-read_many_files(paths=["**/*.js"], include=["**/*.test.js", "images/**/*.jpg"], useDefaultExcludes=False)
-```
-
-## Important notes
-
-- **Binary file handling:**
-  - **Image/PDF/Audio/Video files:** The tool can read common image types (PNG,
-    JPEG, etc.), PDF, audio (mp3, wav), and video (mp4, mov) files, returning
-    them as base64 encoded data. These files _must_ be explicitly targeted by
-    the `paths` or `include` patterns (e.g., by specifying the exact filename
-    like `video.mp4` or a pattern like `*.mov`).
-  - **Other binary files:** The tool attempts to detect and skip other types of
-    binary files by examining their initial content for null bytes. The tool
-    excludes these files from its output.
-- **Performance:** Reading a very large number of files or very large individual
-  files can be resource-intensive.
-- **Path specificity:** Ensure paths and glob patterns are correctly specified
-  relative to the tool's target directory. For image/PDF files, ensure the
-  patterns are specific enough to include them.
-- **Default excludes:** Be aware of the default exclusion patterns (like
-  `node_modules`, `.git`) and use `useDefaultExcludes=False` if you need to
-  override them, but do so cautiously.
