Gemini through the API

The Gemini line from Google combines an enormous context window (1 million tokens) with sharp prices. Gemini 2.5 Pro is the top model, Flash is the fast mid-class and Flash-Lite is one of the cheapest full models on the market. Here are the rates and the EU practice.

Rates per million tokens

Gemini 2.5 Pro: $1.25 input / $10 output per million tokens. Gemini 2.5 Flash: $0.30 / $2.50. Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite: $0.10 / $0.40. The context window is 1,000,000 tokens for the whole line — the largest in the regular offering, ideal for document analysis and long sessions.

Why the 1M context window matters

With a million tokens, a complete codebase, a bookcase of documents or hours of transcripts fit in one call. Where other providers need chunking and retrieval, Gemini can do it in one context. That makes it the favourite model for document-intensive pipelines — and the rate for long input is relatively friendly.

Flash-Lite: the best price-performance on the market

$0.10 per million input tokens for a full Google model is virtually unmatched. For bulk classification, tagging and simple generation, Flash-Lite is often good enough — and up to 12x cheaper than full GPT-5. Check in the comparison where the boundary for your tasks lies.

Using Gemini from the EU

Google invoices API usage in dollars via Google Cloud. Through Gatewaybird (from launch) you call Gemini via one OpenAI-compatible endpoint with a Dutch contract and euro invoice, mixed with the other providers under one key.
