• Ideal for workflows like editing based on reference images, expanding sketches or mockups and visual concept development.

3. Flexible Output Resolutions & Quality Levels

• Supports multiple resolutions including 1024x1024, 1024x1536 and 1536x1024.
• Offers three quality tiers (Low, Medium, High) to balance cost, speed and maximum detail.

4. Multiple Pricing Models

• Pay-per-token for multimodal input: text tokens and image tokens.
• Pay-per-image generation for final output: low, medium and high quality tiers.
• Enables businesses to balance cost and output needs.

5. Broad Use Cases

• Product photography and marketing assets.
• Illustration, concept art and creative ideation.
• UX/UI mockups.
• Style-guided image creation.
• Generating reference images for design or storytelling.

6. Supported Across Major API Endpoints

• Available via Chat Completions, Responses, Realtime, Assistants and Images (generations/edits) endpoints.
• Allows tight integration into automated creative pipelines or user-facing apps.

7. Simplified Model Behavior for Stability

• No streaming, function calling, structured outputs or fine-tuning; focused solely on high-quality image generation.

8. Consistent Results via Snapshots

• Supports snapshots for version locking to ensure long-term reproducibility.

9. Ideal For

• Designers, marketers and creatives.
• Product teams needing image assets.
• App builders integrating image generation workflows.
• Agencies producing visual content at scale.

1. Breakthrough long-context window up to 1,000,000 tokens

• Can process 1 hour of video, 11 hours of audio, 700k+ words, or 100k+ lines of code in a single prompt.
• Supports advanced retrieval, reasoning, summarization, and cross-document tasks.
• Achieves 99% retrieval accuracy on 1M-token Needle-In-A-Haystack tests.

2. Strong multimodal reasoning across video, audio, images, and text

• Can analyze long videos (e.g., full silent films), track events, infer causality, and identify small details.
• Handles large complex documents like manuals, transcripts, and books.

3. High-performance reasoning and problem solving

• Comparable to Gemini 1.0 Ultra across many benchmarks.
• Excels at code reasoning, multi-step explanations, and large-scale codebase analysis.

4. Advanced code understanding and generation

• Performs problem-solving on codebases exceeding 100,000 lines.
• Capable of cross-file reasoning, debugging guidance, API comprehension, and generating structured code improvements.

5. Efficient Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture

• Activates only relevant expert pathways per input.
• Enables faster training, lower latency, and more efficient serving.
• Dramatically improves scalability and inference speed.

6. Exceptional in-context learning capabilities

• Learns new tasks directly from long prompts without fine-tuning.
• Demonstrated by learning to translate a low-resource language (Kalamang) from a grammar manual.

7. High-fidelity multimodal understanding

• Reads, analyzes, and reasons about long PDFs, code repositories, images, and videos together.
• Enables new classes of applications: legal analysis, scientific review, codebase audits, long-form content generation, etc.

8. Safety and reliability first

• Undergoes extensive ethics, safety testing, and red-teaming.
• Improved representational safety and reduced hallucinations compared to previous generations.

9. Available for developers and enterprises

• Accessible via AI Studio and Vertex AI.
• Supports future pricing tiers for expanded context windows.
• Designed for real enterprise-scale workloads.

10. Widely capable mid-size model

• Positioned between Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra generations.
• Well-balanced: reasoning, multimodality, long-context, and speed.
