Model Card
Veo 3.1 Lite is Google DeepMind's most cost-effective video generation model, built for high-volume applications where per-clip cost is a primary concern. It generates video at the same speed as Veo 3.1 Fast but at less than half the price — starting at $0.05 per second for 720p.
The model supports text-to-video and image-to-video with 720p and 1080p output in landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16), at configurable durations of 4, 6, or 8 seconds. It does not support 4K output, scene extension, or native audio generation — clips are silent by default.
Veo 3.1 Lite is ideal for developers building batch video pipelines, social media automation, or interactive tools where cost per generation matters most and audio can be added in post-production.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image
Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image is Google DeepMind's fastest and lowest-cost image generation and editing model in the Gemini 3.1 family, also known as Nano Banana 2 Lite. It generates a 1K-resolution image in about 4 seconds, roughly 2.7x faster than Gemini 3.1 Flash Image, at $0.0336 per image. It keeps the character consistency, precise natural-language editing, and real-world knowledge of the Nano Banana family while trading some peak quality for speed. It supports text-to-image generation, image editing, and multi-image composition through the same API used by other Gemini image models, with a discrete set of 14 aspect ratios at 1K resolution. It's built for high-volume, latency-sensitive use cases such as rapid prototyping, interactive applications, and batch image generation, where cost and turnaround time matter more than maximum fidelity.
ChatGemini 3.5 Flash
Gemini 3.5 Flash is Google DeepMind's frontier-speed model that combines Flash-tier latency and cost with near-Pro-level reasoning, announced at Google I/O 2026. It processes output 4x faster than comparable frontier models while outperforming Gemini 3.1 Pro on coding and agentic benchmarks — 76.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, 83.6% on MCP Atlas, and 84.2% on CharXiv Reasoning. It's purpose-built for agentic workflows: orchestrating multi-step tool use, long-context document analysis, and iterative code generation. With a 1M token context window and full multimodal input support (text, image, audio, video, PDF), it handles complex real-world tasks at scale. At $1.50 per million input tokens and $9.00 per million output tokens, it's the best choice for developers who need frontier intelligence without frontier latency or cost.
ChatGemma 4 26B A4B
Gemma 4 26B A4B is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) open model from Google DeepMind, built from the same research as Gemini 3. It has 26B total parameters but activates only 3.8B per forward pass, delivering near-31B-dense quality at a fraction of the compute cost. The model supports a 256K token context window, multimodal image and text input, built-in step-by-step reasoning (thinking mode), and native function calling for agentic workflows. It currently ranks #6 among open models on the Arena AI text leaderboard with an estimated LMArena score of 1441 — competitive with models many times its active size. It excels at reasoning, coding, long-context tasks, and structured tool use. It's a strong pick for developers who need high throughput and low latency without sacrificing capability.
