Gemini 2.5 Pro is Google’s most expensive AI model yet

On Friday, Google released API pricing for Gemini 2.5 Pro, an AI reasoning model with industry-leading performance on several benchmarks measuring coding, reasoning, and math. For prompts up to 200,000 tokens, Gemini 2.5 Pro costs $1.25 per million input tokens (roughly 750,000 words, longer than the entire “Lord of The Rings” series) and $10 per million output tokens. For prompts greater than 200,000 tokens (which most of Google’s competitors don’t support), Gemini 2.5 Pro costs $2.50 per million input tokens, and $15 per million output tokens. That pricing makes Gemini 2.5 Pro more expensive for developers than any other AI model currently offered by Google, including Gemini 2.0 Flash ($0.10/M input tokens, $0.40/M output tokens). It also makes Gemini 2.5 Pro more expensive than several other frontier AI models, such as OpenAI’s o3-mini ($1.10/M input tokens, $4.40/M output tokens) and DeepSeek’s R1 ($0.55/M input tokens, $2.19/M output tokens). To be fair, Gemini 2.5 Pro, which i ... Read full article.
