How this price is scoped: Google's Gemini API pricing page prints a dated, two-phase schedule for this model: $0.75 per 1M input tokens through December 31, 2026, rising to $1.50 on January 1, 2027, and $3.75 per 1M output tokens through December 31, 2026, rising to $7.50. Context caching follows the same dates ($0.075, then $0.15). We publish the rate you would pay today and re-verify it before the changeover date. Checked 2026-08-13 against ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing; the same page listed a flat $1.50/$7.50 on 2026-08-09, so this is a genuine 50% price cut rather than a correction to an earlier mistake.
Price receipt
We read Google's own pricing page on and found Gemini 3.6 Flash listed with a price on the same card — that read is where the number above comes from. We keep the page text we read; its content hash is 60a63d484d.
