Gemini 2.5 Flash is tracked as official api price verified. The verified first-party rate is $0.30 input and $2.50 output per 1M tokens. The OpenRouter channel remains separate so the two routes are not mistaken for one price.
What is Gemini 2.5 Flash in this model directory?
Gemini 2.5 Flash is a Google model tracked with official api price verified. This directory page brings together its current official and OpenRouter routes, context window, lifecycle notes, verification dates, example cost, and same-provider alternatives in one source-linked record.
The cost position is a directory aid, not a capability ranking. A lower sample price does not mean two models are interchangeable.

What should you compare before choosing Gemini 2.5 Flash?
For Gemini 2.5 Flash, compare the Google API price and OpenRouter inference rate with your actual cached-input share and generated-output volume.
Use the LLM token cost calculator with the same input, cached-input, output, and monthly-run assumptions on both channels. Follow the official and OpenRouter source links above because the displayed rates, availability, and account terms belong to separate routes.
What does Gemini 2.5 Flash cost for a typical workload?
Using 1M input tokens and 250K output tokens, the estimated cost is $0.925 through the official route and $0.925 through OpenRouter. This example is calculated from the listed token rates and does not include taxes, tools, storage, retries, or optional OpenRouter credit purchase fees.
example = (1M × input rate) + (0.25M × output rate)
monthly estimate = example × your monthly runs

What are the context and lifecycle details?
Capacity is not a flat fee; billed tokens depend on what a request actually processes.
Standard text-token pricing is used unless the source documents another treatment.
1 official and 1 OpenRouter observations are stored for this model.
Which Google models are closest for comparison?
These same-provider models are selected by similar example workload cost where comparable prices exist. Use them as navigation shortcuts, not as a claim of equivalent capability.
