Google Gemini 2.5 Flash — cheapest credible frontier model
Pricing: $0.30/M in, $2.50/M out. RPM/TPM very high on Vertex paid. Native tool use + context caching. AI Studio free tier: 10 RPM / 250K TPM (Flash) — same as Cerebras PayGo. On Vertex AI: pay-as-you-go, billed against GCP credits → effectively free for early-stage projects with credits. Not yet tested by CollabLists.
