At $0.02 per image, it's prohibitively expensive for many use-cases. For comparison, the cheapest Flux model (Schnell) is $0.003 per image.

How many images do you need? What are the use-cases that need a bunch of artificial yet photoreal images produced or altered without human supervision?

		I think people still expect a lot of trial and error before getting a usable image. At 2 cents per pull of the slot machine lever, it would still take a while, though.

Schnell isn’t AR and doesn’t do editing.

		Fair but the Gemini "flash" branding implies it's their model for speed/scale in my mind.

yes, too expensive for my use case.

    Service            Cost per Image   Cost per 1,000 Images
    Flux Schnell       $0.003           $3.00
    Gemini 1.5 Flash   $0.039           $39.00
