Model ID: gemini-3.5-flash-lite
What that means
A worked example
Per-token pricing is hard to feel. Take a moderately chatty production workload: 100 calls a day, roughly 10,000 tokens in and 2,000 out each time. On Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite that comes to about:
$24 / month
Before caching, batching or volume discounts, all of which move this number a long way. Illustrative only.
