How this price is scoped: Google's Gemini API pricing page prints a dated, two-phase schedule for this model on its Standard tier: $2.00 per 1M input tokens through November 30, 2026, rising to $4.00 on December 1, 2026, and $10.00 per 1M output tokens (thinking tokens included), rising to $20.00. Context caching follows the same dates ($0.10, then $0.20; implicit caching only). We publish the rate you would pay today and re-verify it before the changeover. Batch and Flex requests cost half the Standard rate. Google also sells a Priority tier at $3.60 input and $18.00 output through November 30 ($7.20 and $36.00 from December 1); OpenRouter lists that Priority route beside the Standard one. We publish the Standard rate.
