Google’s Gemini models cover frontier reasoning to ultra-cheap Flash tiers, with Gemma as the open-weight option. The Flash line iterates fast — three releases in six weeks as of September 2026.
Google DeepMind builds the Gemini family across Pro (reasoning/multimodal), Flash (speed/agentic) and Flash-Lite (volume) tiers, plus the Apache-licensed Gemma open models. Gemini is served through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI.
