Below is a table summarizing the benchmark results of the May 2024 version of Gemini 1.5 Flash and Gemini 1.5 Pro and the September 2024 version announced this time. For both models, the September 2024 version recorded higher scores in most benchmarks. In particular, the benchmark measuring mathematical performance achieved an improvement of about 20%. In addition, visual understanding and coding performance have also improved.



Gemini 1.5 Flash is also focusing on improving processing speed and reducing latency. The graph on the left below shows the trend in the number of tokens that can be processed per second from June to September 2024, and the graph on the right shows the trend in the time to receive the first token (latency). From the graph, we can see that the number of tokens processed per second has increased and latency has been reduced.



Google also announced a price cut for Gemini 1.5 Pro. For 128K tokens or less, inputs will be $1.25 per million tokens and outputs will be $2.50 per million tokens. For more than 128K tokens, inputs will be $5 per million tokens and outputs will be $10 per million tokens. The new pricing structure is scheduled to go into effect on October 1, 2024.



Additionally, Google has also announced that it will increase the rate limit of Gemini 1.5 Flash from 1000 RPM to 2000 RPM, and the rate limit of Gemini 1.5 Pro from 360 RPM to 1000 RPM.

Google has also announced that it has added a standalone Gemini app to Google Workspace.
