Gemini 3 Flash should really be included in this comparison. Or at least 3.7. In most of my testing, 3.5 and 3.6 were both a downgrade in terms of vision capabilities, relative to 3, and at a much higher cost. 3.7 is slightly better than 3, finally.

- zuzululu 2mo agobut 3.7 flash is expensive for img inputs no ?
- fpgaminer 2mo agoAs usual for something so simple, Google's docs seem unclear: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing For 3, pricing for image tokens was the same as text tokens. Since they don't indicate a difference on 3.7, I would assume the same holds. And as far as I know the number of image tokens is the same for both (depending on the detail level you pick, but it's generally around 1k per image). So they're about the same, 3.7 is slightly more expensive. At least until the end of the year (when they raise 3.7's pricing). Anyway, my point was that 3.5 tended to have worse performance and significantly higher costs. 3 and 3.7 are both better and cheaper than 3.5.
- zuzululu 2mo agomystery to me is how the image tokens are calculated? 1MB is 1000 tokens ?
