Google has launched two new inference tiers for its Gemini API: Flex and Priority. These tiers are designed to offer users more control over the balance between cost and latency when utilizing the API.
Google announced the introduction of two new inference tiers for the Gemini API, named Flex and Priority. The Flex tier is intended for use cases where cost is a primary concern and latency is less critical, while the Priority tier is designed for applications that require lower latency and are willing to accept a higher cost.
