According to recent reports, Google’s Gemini 3 Flash model has seen a significant price increase compared to its predecessor. Data shows that Gemini 3 Flash is priced at $0.5 per million input tokens and $3 per million output tokens, while the previous Gemini 2.5 Flash was priced at $0.3 per million input tokens and $2.5 per million output tokens. This means the cost of running benchmarks has more than doubled compared to the previous generation. Despite the substantial price hike, reports indicate that Gemini 3 Flash has reduced hallucination issues compared to the 3 Pro version. This pricing strategy reflects the changing cost trends in AI models, making cost considerations a crucial factor for businesses and developers relying on large language models.
