(reasoning) doesn't say much. Is it low/med/high reasoning? I ran my own benchmarks, and 3.1 Flash-Lite on high costs A LOT: https://aibenchy.com/compare/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-preview-low/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-preview-medium/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-preview-high/google-gemini-3-flash-preview-low/ https://aibenchy.com/compare/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-pr...
Do not use 3.1 Flash-Lite with HIGH reasoning, it reasons for almost max output size, you can quickly get to millions of tokens of reasoning in a few requests.
- vlmutolo 8mo agoWow, that’s very interesting. I wish more benchmarks were reported along with the total cost of running that benchmark. Dollars per token is kind of useless for the reasons you mentioned.
- XCSme 8mo agoYup, MiniMax M-2.5 is a standout in that aspect. It's $/token is very low, because it reasons forever (fun fact, that's also the reason why it's #1 on OpenRouter, because it simply burns through tokens, and OpenRouter ranking is based on tokens usage)...
