Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite API
Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is a language model from google, available on Routeriva under the model ID gemini-2-5-flash-lite. You call it with the same sk- key you use for every other model — no separate google account is needed.
On Routeriva it costs $0.03 per 1M input tokens and $0.10 per 1M output tokens, compared with the official list price of $0.10 / $0.40 — about 75% less. Prices shown are the lowest across the routes that serve this model; your key is charged at its own route's price.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite is reachable both through the OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint and the native Gemini generateContent endpoint, so the official Google SDKs work by changing only the base URL.
