Google Releases Gemini 2.5 Flash for Developers, Offering Customization

Google has released Gemini 2.5 Flash for developers, allowing them to customize the AI model to fit their specific needs. This powerful reasoning model, previously available to Gemini Advance subscribers, now offers developers the ability to tailor the AI's "thinking" process. Developers can now disable the reasoning function or set "thinking budgets" to control the number of tokens the model uses. Optimizing the thinking budget can help developers manage costs associated with using Gemini 2.5 Flash in their applications. The input cost is $0.15 per million tokens, output is $0.60 per million tokens, and reasoning costs $3.50.
