Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite

The Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is an AI model that supports multiple input modalities, including text, image, file, audio, and video inputs, allowing users to interact with it in various ways. It can handle long contexts of up to 1 megabyte in length and provides tools and reasoning capabilities, though it does not output structured data. For those looking for a model that offers a balance between input flexibility and pricing, the Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is worth considering, despite its premium cost. With a blended benchmark score of 0.8 across one independent benchmark, its performance stands out at this price point; however, it remains to be seen how it will perform in additional evaluation contexts due to limited coverage. Those willing to invest $0.1 per megabyte for input and $0.4 per megabyte for output may find the Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite suitable for their needs.
