Google drops prices and expands features for Gemini AI.

Google's making its Gemini AI cheaper and more powerful. Time to build some cool stuff!

What's going on here?

Google announced a bunch of updates to their Gemini AI platform, including big price cuts and new features.

What does this mean?

• Gemini 1.5 Flash (their popular AI model) just got way cheaper. We're talking 78% off for input costs and 71% off for output. That's huge for developers building high-volume AI apps.

• Gemini now speaks 100+ languages. No more getting stuck because your AI doesn't understand Thai or Swahili. Google has improved Gemini’s documentation and added cool features like PDF understanding (it can "see" graphs in your PDFs now).

• If you use Google Workspace, you can now access Google AI Studio without any extra setup. Millions more people can easily play with AI tools. It’s also got a bunch of quality-of-life upgrades like better keyboard shortcuts and faster loading times.

Why should I care?

If you're building AI apps, this is awesome news. Cheaper AI means you can do more cool stuff without breaking the bank. The language expansion opens up global markets. And all these little improvements add up to make building with AI easier and more powerful. Whether you're a big company or just tinkering, Google's really making it simpler to work with their AI (which traditionally hasn’t been the case).
