| Description | ||
| Summary | Gemini 3 Flash Preview is a fast, cost-efficient reasoning model designed for agent workflows, multi-turn chat, and coding assistance. It offers near-Pro level reasoning and tool-use performance with significantly lower latency than larger Gemini models, making it ideal for interactive development and long-running agent loops. It improves on Gemini 2.5 Flash with stronger reasoning, multimodal understanding, and reliability. The model supports a 1M-token context window and multimodal inputs (text, images, audio, video, PDFs) with text outputs. It provides configurable reasoning levels, structured output formats, tool use, and automatic context caching—optimized for users seeking strong agentic reasoning without the cost or latency of full frontier-scale models. | Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image served from Google Vertex AI. Billed per image at US$0.0336. Call it through /v1/chat/completions with stream set to false; the image is returned in the message content as a base64 data URI. Maximum output resolution is 1K. A request for a larger size returns a 1K image with the same aspect ratio at the same price. When a size is reduced, the response carries an X-Image-Resolution-Capped header with the requested and delivered size. |
