| Summary | 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. | Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a smaller, low-latency model focused on speed and cost efficiency. It delivers faster generation and better benchmark performance than earlier Flash models. Thinking mode is off by default for maximum speed, but developers can enable it when they want deeper reasoning at a higher cost. |
