| Pricing | . Paid tier $0.10 per 1M input tokens (text, image, video, audio, PDF); output is not applicable because the model returns 0 output tokens. Free tier available. Shared input is billed once per request; each question adds its own instruction tokens. No context caching or Batch API. | https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing | vendor-reported, confirmed | https://theagenticweekly.com/models/gemini-decision-1#fact-pricing |

## Vendor claims and neutral signals

- 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 here is Reported from the sources below.

## Not verified, left out

- 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.
