Google has once again made an effort in the AI model price war, announcing that the price of its Gemini 1.5 Flash model has been reduced by up to 78%! This move aims to lower the threshold for developers to use and promote the popularization and application of AI technology. The significantly reduced cost, coupled with expanded language support and open fine-tuning functions, will undoubtedly attract more developers to join and promote innovation in the AI field.
Recently, Google made another bold move in the price war of AI models, announcing that the price of its fast Gemini1.5Flash AI model will be reduced by up to 78%. For developers, this is undoubtedly good news. According to Google’s announcement, the cost of input tokens will drop to $0.075 per million tokens, while the cost of output tokens will drop to $0.30 per million tokens for up to 128,000 tokens. hint. Even for longer prompts and caches, similar price adjustments apply.
Gemini1.5Flash is widely used in scenarios that require fast response and low latency, such as summary, classification and multi-modal understanding. Google's new API and AI studio also support better PDF understanding functions and can analyze PDFs containing visual content such as graphics and images, demonstrating its powerful multi-modal processing capabilities.
In addition, Google has also expanded language support for Gemini1.5Pro and Flash models, which now cover more than 100 languages. This means that developers from different regions can develop in a language environment they are familiar with, thus avoiding the problem of blocked responses caused by using unsupported languages. At the same time, Google also opened the fine-tuning function of Gemini1.5Flash to all developers. The fine-tuning function allows developers to provide additional data and customize the base model according to specific tasks, thereby improving model performance. In this way, developers are able to reduce the context size of hints, thereby reducing latency and cost while improving model accuracy.
The news of this round of price cuts by Google also comes after OpenAI recently announced that its GPT-4o API access fee has been reduced by up to 50%. Obviously, in the face of the high cost of developing and operating AI models, price competition within the industry has become quite fierce.
Highlight:
? Large price reduction: Google reduced the input token price of Gemini1.5Flash to US$0.075 and the output token price to US$0.30, with a reduction of up to 78%.
? Language support expansion: Gemini1.5Pro and Flash models now support more than 100 languages, making it easier for developers around the world to use.
⚙️ Open fine-tuning function: All developers can fine-tune the Gemini1.5 Flash model through API and AI studio to improve model performance and accuracy.
All in all, Google's move will greatly lower the threshold for AI development and promote wider application of AI technology. It will also intensify price competition in the AI industry, indicating that future AI models will become more user-friendly and easier to use.
