@estebankiwiGemini 3.5 Flash carries a steep price of nine dollars for each million output tokens produced. That figure equals three times the rate charged for Gemini 3 Flash. It also equals thirty times the previous rate for Gemini 1.5 Flash. The Flash line was originally meant to serve as the affordable choice. Nine dollars for output tokens hardly counts as inexpensive. Google now sets prices for Flash at levels typical of its Pro offerings. The model's performance should align with that higher cost.
