Google: Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite

Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite is a versatile AI model capable of processing text, images, videos, files, and audio inputs, with a context length of up to 1048576 tokens and the ability to reason through complex tasks. It supports both reasoning and input modalities beyond just text, making it suitable for multimedia applications. However, it does not offer structured output or open-source weights, which are limitations worth considering. Given its pricing at $0.3 per million input tokens and $2.5 per million output tokens, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite might be more suited for users who need comprehensive multimodal processing capabilities but can manage higher costs. Its unproven benchmark coverage means that while it excels in handling diverse inputs, its performance compared to other models remains uncertain until independent evaluations are conducted.
