Strengths

  • Very strong cost profile for large-scale classification and extraction pipelines.
  • Keeps Gemini’s multimodal inputs and structured outputs at a lower price tier.

Things to watch

  • Not the right pick for harder frontier reasoning.
  • Google’s pricing surface still includes separate audio and grounding fees.
