Big Updates for Developers Using Gemini

These improvements include significant price reductions, expanded language support and powerful new features and more. These updates aim to make building with Gemini even easier and more efficient for developers.

• Lower Costs with Gemini 1.5 Flash Price Drop

The most popular model for high-volume, low-latency tasks like summarization and categorization, Gemini 1.5 Flash, just got even more affordable. As of August 12th, 2024, input token costs have dropped by a whopping 78% to $0.075 per million, and output token costs are down 71% to $0.3 per million for prompts under 128K tokens. These reductions cascade through higher token tiers and work alongside caching for even greater cost savings. Developers can build with confidence knowing Gemini 1.5 Flash's long context and multi-modal capabilities are more accessible than ever.

• Gemini 1.5 Flash Tuning Available for All Developers

Text tuning for Gemini 1.5 Flash is not available to all developers through both the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. Tuning allows developers to provide the model with additional data, improving performance on specific tasks. This translates to smaller prompts, faster response times, and potentially lower costs, all while boosting model accuracy.

• Expand Your Reach with 100+ New Languages

Now available in both Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash models can understand over 100 languages. This expansion gives developers worldwide the ability to prompt and receive outputs in their preferred language. Say goodbye to "language block" limitations and embrace truly global applications.

• Frictionless AI Studio Access for Google Workspace Users

Starting now, Google Workspace users will have immediate access to Google AI Studio without needing to enable any additional settings. This unlocks the power of AI experimentation for millions of users, empowering them to explore and build innovative applications with ease. Account admins will still have the ability to manage AI Studio access if needed.

• Improved Developer Documentation for a Seamless Experience

Google has taken feedback comments to heart and revamped the developer documentation, making it easier than ever to navigate and find information. The Gemini API documentation on ai.google.dev/gemini-api boasts a fresh look and feel, reorganised content, and a completely redesigned API reference. Even more documentation improvements will be coming soon!

•  The Power of PDFs with Vision and Text Understanding

The Gemini API and AI Studio are now equipped to handle your PDFs! The multi-modal capabilities allow users to process PDFs that contain both text and visual elements like graphs and images. Analyse documents with confidence in either Google AI Studio or directly through the Gemini API.

• Enhanced Google AI Studio Experience

Several improvements to enhance the workflow have been implemented. These include revamped keyboard shortcuts, drag-and-drop image upload functions, a 50% reduction in loading times, helpful prompt suggestions, and much more!
