Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google’s most expensive AI model yet
Google released on Friday API prices For Gemini 2.5 Pro, an AI-reasoning model with leading performance at various benchmarks that measure coding, reasoning and mathematics.
For instructions up to 200,000 tokens, Gemini costs 2.5 Pro $ 1.25 per million input tokens (around 750,000 words, longer than the entire “Lord of the Rings” series) and $ 10 per million output tokens. For instructions larger than 200,000 tokens (which do not support most competitors from Google), Gemini costs 2.5 Pro $ 2.50 per million input tokens and $ 15 per million output tokens.
These prices make Gemini 2.5 Pro more expensive for developers than any other AI model that is currently offered by Google, including Gemini 2.0 Flash ($ 0.10/m input sticks, $ 0.40/m output tokens). It also makes Gemini 2.5 Pro more expensive than various other frontier AI models, such as OpenAI’s O3-Mini ($ 1.10/m input sticks, $ 4.40/m export tokens) and the R1 of Deepseek ($ 0.55/m input tokens, $ 2.19/m output tokens).
Om eerlijk te zijn, Gemini 2.5 Pro, die gratis beschikbaar is met strikte tarieflimieten, wordt goedkoper verkrijgbaar dan sommige andere zeer concurrerende modellen, waaronder Anthropic’s Claude 3.7-sonnet ($ 3/m input tokens, $ 15/m uitvoertokens) en Openai’s GPT-4.5 ($ 75/m Input Tokens, $ 150/m output TOkens). The first reaction of the technical industry has been largely positiveWith developers who consider what they consider as sensible rates.
But there seems to be some upward pressure on the prices for flagship models. The costs of recent top-of-the-line releases from laboratories such as Google, OpenAi and Anthropic have risen down. See, for example, OpenAi’s recently launched O1-Pro, the most expensive API offer in the company so far for $ 150/m input tokens and $ 600/m export tokens.
It is possible that the high demand and computer costs stimulate the trend. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Gemini 2.5 Pro is the most common AI model of the company among developers, which leads to An increase of 80% in use in the AI Studio platform from Google and the Gemini API only this month.
