Flash context costs

Gemini 1.5 Flash costs $0.075/1M input tokens for contexts up to 128K tokens, and $0.15/1M for longer contexts. With a 100K-token context, that is $0.0075 per query. Compression to 35K tokens drops this to $0.0026 per query.

Frequently asked questions

Does the large context window make compression less important?

The opposite — a 1M window invites more context, making compression more valuable.

Does compression work with Gemini's multimodal inputs?

Compression applies to the text portions of multimodal inputs.
