Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite is a cutting-edge, lightweight reasoning model within the Gemini 2.5 family, specifically engineered for ultra-low latency and exceptional cost efficiency. This model significantly improves throughput and offers faster token generation compared to its predecessors, making it a prime choice for applications where speed is paramount. While 'thinking' (multi-pass reasoning) is disabled by default to maximize speed, developers have the flexibility to enable it via the Reasoning API parameter, allowing for a strategic trade-off between cost and intelligence. This powerful vision model boasts a substantial Context Window of 1048K tokens and a Max Output of 4K tokens, providing ample capacity for complex tasks. It supports a wide range of capabilities including vision, functions, code, and streaming, making it versatile for various use cases. Pricing is highly competitive at $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0.40 per 1M output tokens, accessible via the STARTER tier on Multi AI. It excels in applications like chat, code generation, data analysis, and document processing.
