Strengths

  • 1M-token context window with output decodes of up to 1M tokens
  • Available in the Gemini app (Pro and Ultra plans), Google AI Studio, Antigravity and the Gemini API
  • Ranks among the top models on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at a mid-range API price

Considerations

  • API price doubles on December 1, 2026 to $4 input / $20 output per 1M tokens
  • Not offered on the Gemini API free tier
  • Output speed is below average and answers tend to be long

Price

API $2 input / $10 output per 1M tokens through Nov 30, 2026 ($4 / $20 from Dec 1, 2026)
