Similarly gemini 3.1 flash lite got more expensive than gemini 2.5 flash lite.

- philipkglass 7mo agoThe crazy cheap models may be adequate for a task, and low cost matters with volume. I need to label millions of images to determine if they're sexually suggestive (this includes but is not limited to nudity). The Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite model is inexpensive and performs well. Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is also good, but not noticeably better, and it costs more. When 2.0 gets retired this June my costs are going up.
