Why is the pricing of Gemini 2.0 Flash more than that of Gemini 1.5 Flash? Even the Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite seems pricier than Gemini 1.5 Flash 8b.
Yeah, I was a little bummed. It’s still a very low cost but 0.07 to 0.10 is still close to 50% increase in cost. And for what? The increase in speed? The reasoning logic isn’t 50% better. It’s better but not significantly. So wonder where the increase came from as they announced in December that the price would be “cheaper AND faster” which is exactly what many of us were expecting. But hey, can’t complain to much, they are still much lower then much of the competition, especially with vision.
I think their reasoning is that 2.0 flash lite is the same cost as 1.5 flash but better and faster so it’s built from that concept. Shame, there could have been so much joy to go around…
