Key facts
Vendor-reported facts are read from the linked vendor page on the date shown above; we did not run the model. Independently tested means we ran it; no fact on this page is. Editorial is our own classification, not a vendor claim. Where a linked page does not itself state a value, the row says so. How to read provenance.

How Gemini Decision 1 differs from Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite
Read from the recorded facts of the two models, not from a head-to-head test. We have not run either.
- We have a recorded price for Gemini Decision 1 but none for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
- Context window is 262K tokens against 1.05M for Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
- Both accept text, image, video, audio, pdf as input.
- Output is calibrated probabilities (yes/no, choice, score), against text.
- Gemini Decision 1 came out 188 days after Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
- Facts for the other model: Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
What the sources say
These are claims from the linked pages, not our measurements.
- One request takes shared input up to 262,144 tokens (text, images, video, audio, PDF) and up to 1,000 independent questions; it returns probabilities and a confidence score, with 0 output tokens.
- Vendor claim (Google): 150-250 ms end-to-end latency (50-100 ms of model compute) for inputs up to 16K tokens, and nearly 5x cheaper on Google's benchmark suite than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite with the Interactions API. We did not verify this.
Notes
- Not a text generator: Google's model page marks text generation, function calling, structured outputs, thinking, caching and the Batch API as not supported. It is only used through the Decisions API.
What we tested
Nothing yet. We have not run Gemini Decision 1 ourselves, so every fact on this page is Reported from the sources below. When we do test it, the scope will be stated here and in our test logs. See methodology.
Not verified, left out
We could not confirm these on a vendor page, so we do not state them.
- Benchmark scores: Google says Gemini Decision 1 leads its own suite with the lowest calibration error but does not name the compared models or publish the scores in the announcement.
- Rate limits and free-tier quotas: the model page links to the rate-limits page; we did not record numbers.
- Stability: Google's sample code uses the v1beta API version and no separate general-availability or deprecation date is stated.
