Google doubles Gemini 1.5 Pro price for prompts over 128K tokens

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google has doubled the per-token price for its Gemini 1.5 Pro model once prompts exceed 128,000 tokens. This price increase makes Gemini 1.5 Pro more expensive for long prompts compared to its previous pricing, though it remains competitive with models like OpenAI's GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet in terms of cost-effectiveness for shorter prompts. However, independent quality benchmarks for Gemini 1.5 Pro are limited, with its BenchLM score being an estimate and lacking direct comparisons to other models. AI

IMPACT This price adjustment may influence cost-modeling for applications utilizing long context windows, potentially favoring competitors for very large prompts.

RANK_REASON Pricing change for an existing model, not a new release or significant industry shift.
