Gemini Flash is the lightest model in the Gemini series that operates via API. Gemini Flash was developed with an emphasis on processing speed, and the average latency is said to be less than 1 second for general use by developers and enterprises. In addition, Gemini Flash's context window is 1 million tokens, and it can process huge amounts of data such as '1 hour of video', '11 hours of audio', and 'more than 30,000 lines of code'.

Below is a table listing the benchmark results for the Gemini series. Gemini Flash significantly outperforms Gemini 1.0 Pro and even Gemini 1.5 Pro in some tests.



Gemini Flash is available through the Gemini API and Vertex AI. The Gemini API is available for free, and paid plans with relaxed rate limits are also available. The paid plan costs $0.35 (approximately 55 yen) per million tokens for prompts of up to 128,000 tokens, and $0.70 (approximately 110 yen) per million tokens for prompts of more than 128,000 tokens. Both prices are one-tenth of Gemini Pro.
