This is awesome. No preview release either, which is great to production.

They are pushing the prices higher with each release though: API pricing is up to $0.5/M for input and $3/M for output

For comparison:

Gemini 3.0 Flash: $0.50/M for input and $3.00/M for output

Gemini 2.5 Flash: $0.30/M for input and $2.50/M for output

Gemini 2.0 Flash: $0.15/M for input and $0.60/M for output

Gemini 1.5 Flash: $0.075/M for input and $0.30/M for output (after price drop)

Gemini 3.0 Pro: $2.00/M for input and $12/M for output

Gemini 2.5 Pro: $1.25/M for input and $10/M for output

Gemini 1.5 Pro: $1.25/M for input and $5/M for output

I think image input pricing went up even more.

Correction: It is a preview model...

I'm more curious how Gemini 3 flash lite performs/is priced when it comes out. Because it may be that for most non coding tasks the distinction isn't between pro and flash but between flash and flash lite.

Token usage also needs to be factored in specifically when thinking is enabled, these newer models find more difficult problems easier and use less tokens to solve.

Thanks that was a great breakup of cost. I just assumed before that it was the same pricing. The pricing probably comes from the confidence and the buzz around Gemini 3.0 as one of the best performing models. But competetion is hot in the area and it's not too far where we get similar performing models for cheaper price.

For comparison, GPT-5 mini is $0.25/M for input and $2.00/M for output, so double the price for input and 50% higher for output.

The price increase sucks, but you really do get a whole lot more. They also had the "Flash Lite" series, 2.5 Flash Lite is 0.10/M, hopefully we see something like 3.0 Flash Lite for .20-.25.

This is a preview release.

Are these the current prices or the prices at the time the models were released?

is there a website where i can compare openai, anthropic and gemini models on cost/token ?
