Google recently launched its latest AI model series, Gemini 1.5, which includes Gemini 1.5 Flash-8B, Gemini 1.5 Flash, and Gemini 1.5 Pro. These models are designed to handle long texts and large amounts of multimodal inputs such as documents, videos, and audio. Gemini 1.5 Flash is a lightweight version with 8 billion parameters, significantly enhancing performance and becoming the preferred choice for developers worldwide. Gemini 1.5 Pro excels in mathematics, coding, and handling complex prompts.

Google has launched the Gemini API's Gemini1.5Flash free plan, offering 1.5 billion free tokens every day, including 15 requests per minute, 1 million tokens per minute, and 1 million tokens per hour of context caching services, along with fully free tuning capabilities. This initiative aims to lower the barriers for developers to utilize AI technology, supporting the development of innovative applications. For small and medium-sized development teams, this will significantly reduce costs and provide convenience in R&D. This move is expected to attract more developers, driving growth.

Google announced a price cut for its fast AI model, Gemini 1.5 Flash, reducing input token costs to $0.075 per million tokens and output token costs to $0.30 per million tokens, representing a decrease of up to 78%. This move is highly beneficial for developers, particularly for scenarios such as summarization, classification, and multimodal understanding. The new API and AI studio from Google have enhanced PDF analysis capabilities, supporting the understanding of PDFs that include graphical and image content, and expanded language support to cover over 100 languages.
