Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite

Retired

RETIRED/shut down 2026-06-01 per Google's deprecations table (released 2025-02-25, replacement gemini-3.1-flash-lite; gemini-2.0-flash-lite-001 shares both dates). Re-verified first-party 2026-07-31: Google keeps shut-down models in BOTH the live pricing page and a dedicated model page, so every field here is now read, not inferred. Pricing page, paid tier: $0.075 in / $0.30 out per 1M tokens (batch tier $0.0375 / $0.15 — half, but no schema field for it yet), "Context caching price: Not available" on both tiers. Model page confirms inputs audio/images/video/text, 1,048,576 input tokens, 8,192 output tokens, knowledge cutoff August 2024. Note the two surfaces differ on caching: the model page lists Caching as Supported while the pricing page publishes no cached-input rate, so price_cached_input_per_mtok stays null — the capability existed, the price was never published (an earlier note here wrongly said caching was not offered).

Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite by Google costs $0.075 per 1M input tokens and $0.3 per 1M output tokens ($0.131/1M blended), with a 1.0M (1.048.576-token) context window. It has been retired (shut down 1 Jun 2026); the recommended migration is Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite.
