Another release from Google! Now I can use: - Gemini 2.0 Flash Image Generation Preview (May) instead of Gemini 2.0 Flash Image Generation Preview (March) - or when I need text, Gemini 2.5 Flash Thinking 04-17 Preview ("natively multimodal" w/o image generation) - When I need to control thinking budgets, I can do that with Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview 04-17, with not-thinking at a 50% price increase over a month prior - And when I need realtime, fallback to Gemini 2.0 Flash 001 Live Preview (announced as In Preview on April 9 2025 after the Multimodal Live API was announced as released on December 11 2024) - I can't control Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental/Preview/Preview IO Edition's thinking budgets, but good news follows in the next bullet: they'll swap the model out underneath me with one that thinks ~10x less so at least its in the same cost ballpark as their competitors - and we all got autoupgraded from Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (03/25 released 4/2) to Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview (IO Edition) yesterday! Yay!

Yay! do you use your Gemini in Gemini App or AI Studio or Vertex AI?

  I am Don Quixote, building a app that abstracts over models (i.e. allows user choice), while providing them a user-controlled set of tools, and allowing users to write their own "scripts", i.e. precanned dialogue / response steps to permit ex. building of search. Which is probably what makes me so cranky here. It's very hard keeping track of all of it and doing my best to lever up the models that are behind Claude's agentic capabilities, and all the Newspeak of Google PR makes it consume almost as much energy as the rest of the providers combined. (I'm v frustrated that I didn't realize till yesterday that 2.0 Flash had quietly gone from 10 RPM to 'you can actually use it') I'm a Xoogler and I get why this happens ("preview" is a magic wand that means "you don't have to get everyone in bureaucracy across DeepMind/Cloud/? to agree to get this done and fill out their damn launchcal"), but, man.

A matrix of models, capabilities, and prices would be really useful.
