Gemini 2.5 Flash example: reading an image into JSON

What is Gemini 2.5 Flash good for?

Gemini 2.5 Flash is one of Google's models. Put "google/gemini-2.5-flash" in the model field and the rest of your code stays as it is. Gemini 2.5 Flash keeps 1,048,576 tokens in view at once, and that number is what caps the conversation history in your product. A single response can run to 65,535 tokens. On price it sits in the "mid-range" band — cheaper than 160 and dearer than 224 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

What it can do beyond plain text: it reads images directly, which makes it a real option for invoices, forms and screenshots; it takes files such as PDFs as input; it accepts audio input; it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code; it has a reasoning mode that pays off on multi-step problems, maths and debugging. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper. Keep in mind that reasoning tokens are output tokens and do appear on the bill.

Pricing is 103,866 toman per 1M input tokens and 865,548 per 1M output tokens. A 1,000-word round trip on Gemini 2.5 Flash lands near 1,260 toman. It supports cached input: repeated context is billed at 10,387 toman per 1M, which matters a lot if your system prompt is long. Each input image is billed separately at about 0.10 toman. You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is Nova 2 Lite, and Gemini 2.5 Flash costs about the same, and its context window is larger. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 79 thousand-word requests on Gemini 2.5 Flash, and every 1,000 toman is about 794 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 969,414 toman in total. Filling this model's 1,048,576-token window costs 108,911 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "google/gemini-3.5-flash-lite", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. Both land at nearly the same price on a thousand-word request (1,260 and 1,260 toman). Maximum answer length differs as well: 65,535 against 65,536 tokens. On parameters the other takes reasoning_effort.

Google has 43 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Gemma 4 26B A4B at 67 toman per thousand words and the dearest Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools at 6,301. By context size the nearest option from another provider is DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 at 1,048,576 tokens.

Good fits: product chatbots and internal assistants, where cost and quality have to balance, logic puzzles and code review, pulling text and fields out of images, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema, analysing a long document or codebase in one request.
