Retired from new comparisons on September 9, 2026, when Orivel moved its Google lineup to the Gemini 3 line. Past results stay readable. Its balanced slot went to Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite at exactly the same list price. The price-performance sweet spot of the Gemini 2.5 family. Tuned for low-latency, high-volume reasoning tasks with native multimodal input.
