Google: Gemini 3.6 Flash (batch)
This AI model, Google's Gemini 3.6 Flash (batch), can handle various input modalities, including text, image, video, file, and audio. It also supports tools and reasoning capabilities, but its structured output is not specified. Considering the pricing and benchmark performance of this model, it may be worth shortlisting for those who require a wide range of input modalities and need to reason about complex information. With an input price of $0.375 per million tokens and an output price of $1.875 per million tokens, it is a potentially cost-effective option. However, its benchmark performance is based on only one independent assessment, which may not provide a comprehensive view of its capabilities.
