Gemini 3.1 Flash

$0.40/1M out

Best for cost-sensitive applications needing long-context processing with reasonable quality, such as document summarization pipelines or lightweight coding assistants.

As an open-weight model, Gemma 4 26B can also be self-hosted, making API pricing largely irrelevant at scale. The 'A4B' suffix denotes the active parameter count in its MoE configuration. Listed as superseding Gemini 3 Flash Preview, though Gemini 2.0 Flash remains a stronger hosted alternative.

$0.40/1M out

Best for cost-conscious developers needing a capable open-weight model for coding assistance, summarization, and document analysis at scale.

As an open-weight model, Gemma 4 31B can be self-hosted via Ollama or Hugging Face in addition to Google's API. Pricing shown is for hosted inference. No image input capability confirmed at launch.

$0.09/1M out

Best for lightweight text tasks, classification, and summarization where cost matters more than frontier-level quality.

Pricing reflects API access through third-party providers; Google also offers Gemma 2 9B weights for free download and self-hosting. The 8,192 token limit is a hard architectural constraint of this version.
