Some preliminary estimates were published in November. See https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10816
GAIA: ON THE ROAD TO DR2 Wrote:the preliminary values for the formal errors on the parallaxes are: 30where G "denotes the broad-band, white-light, Gaia magnitude."
µas at G=15, 150 µas at G=18 and 700 µas at G=20.
Unfortunately, they also vary depending on where Gaia points on the sky.
