Google launches Gemini Decision 1, a faster, cheaper decision model · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google has launched Gemini Decision 1, a new multimodal decision model designed for single-pass classification tasks. This model can process up to 1,000 questions per request, with a latency of approximately 200ms and a cost of $0.10 per million input tokens, making it significantly cheaper than previous models like Flash-Lite. While Google's internal benchmarks show Gemini Decision 1 outperforming competitors like Jev 1.14 on several metrics, independent evaluations present a more mixed picture, with some benchmarks showing it tied with or behind other models in terms of overall score, cost, and latency.

IMPACT This release offers a potentially cheaper and faster alternative for classification tasks, which could influence how developers build agentic systems.
