The later Gemini generations and the 2.5 line are on the Gemini pricing hub, 20 Gemini ids in all. Which id ## Pick by what the request does ### Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` Long reasoning, large codebases, documents and video in the prompt. The dearest of the three per token and the one to pick when the answer has to be right the first time. ### Gemini 3 Flash Preview `gemini-3-flash-preview` The default for chat, extraction and agent steps: most of the quality of Pro at a fraction of the output rate, with the same context window. ### Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite `gemini-3.1-flash-lite` Classification, routing, short summaries and anything that runs millions of times. Pick it when per-token price is the whole decision. A chat turn of 2,000 tokens in and 500 out costs $0.0060 on Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, $0.0019 on Gemini 3 Flash Preview and $0.0008 on Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite at today's prices. The [compare page](https://relayswitch.io/compare) puts any two side by side. First request ## One request in the OpenAI format The Gemini 3 ids answer the OpenAI chat completions format at `https://api.relayswitch.io/v1/chat/completions`. Google documents [the same OpenAI-compatible shape](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/openai) for its own endpoint, so code written that way moves here by changing the base URL and the key. ### Python, OpenAI SDK python 1`from openai import OpenAI` 2 3`client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.relayswitch.io/v1", api_key="sk-relay-...")` 4`reply = client.chat.completions.create(` 5 `model="gemini-3.1-pro-preview",` 6 `messages=[` 7 `{"role": "system", "content": "Answer in one sentence."},` 8 `{"role": "user", "content": "What does the Gemini 3 API cost here?"},` 9 `],` 10`)` 11`print(reply.choices[0].message.content)` ### Node, OpenAI SDK typescript 1`import OpenAI from "openai";` 2 3`const client = new OpenAI({ baseURL: "https://api.relayswitch.io/v1", apiKey: process.env.RELAYSWITCH_KEY });` 4`const reply = await client.chat.completions.create({` 5 `model: "gemini-3.1-flash-lite",` 6 `messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Three bullet points on Gemini 3." }],` 7`});` 8`console.log(reply.choices[0].message.content);` ### curl, streamed bash 1`curl https://api.relayswitch.io/v1/chat/completions \` 2 `-H "Authorization: Bearer $RELAYSWITCH_KEY" \` 3 `-H "Content-Type: application/json" \` 4 `-d '{"model": "gemini-3-flash-preview", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}], "stream": true}'` Code on the google-genai SDK: swap it for the OpenAI SDK with the base URL above. Tool calls, JSON mode, images in the prompt and the response headers that carry the request id and the charge are in the [docs](https://relayswitch.io/docs); Cursor, Cline and the other editors are in the [guides](https://relayswitch.io/guides).
