alt Hacker NewsPrice is appealing to me. I have been using gemini 3 flash mainly for chat. I may give it a try.
input: $0.14/$0.28 (whereas gemini $0.5/$3)
Does anyone know why output prices have such a big gap?

input tokens are processed at 10-50 times the speed of output tokens since you can process then in batches and not one at a time like output tokens
Output is what the compute is used for above all else; costs more hardware time basically than prompt processing (input) which is a lot faster
