Google quietly doubled prices for using the API of its new Gemini 1.5 Flash model .
Previously, a million tokens for withdrawal cost 53 cents, but now it costs $1.05.
Google raised the price of Gemini 1.5 Flash output by 98% without telling anyone.
This just a week after announcing the model.
Output goes from 0.53/1M to 1.05/1M.
How can we trust an API that drastically increases its price in a week? lol pic.twitter.com/NiIqqx6zmi

Interestingly, Google AI product leader Logan Kilpatrick responded to the outrage on Twitter by saying that the previous cost was only… “typo”.
Gemini 1.5 Flash is a small multimodal (capable of analyzing text, video, audio and images) language model with a context window of 2 million tokens that Google introduced on May 14th. At the time, Josh Woodward, vice president of Google Labs, noted that developers should use Gemini 1.5 Flash if they want to quickly complete tasks where low latency matters (Gemini 1.5 Pro, on the other hand, is aimed at “more general or complex, often multi-stage problems with considerations”)
