it now seems very likely to me that the new Gemini 3.5 Pro model will be a 10T+ model like Mythos

pricing of 3.5 Pro should be $6 / $27 if they keep the 4x scaling and the trend of undercutting OpenAI

What can one infer from this pricing ?

The pricing signals Gemini 3.5 Flash is a stronger, more capable model than typical lightweight Flash tiers, with output costs aligned to rival mid-tier options like Claude Sonnet rather than cheap fast models. High quotas and the 4x scaling speculation for a potential 3.5 Pro further suggest Google is pushing performance boundaries while undercutting some competitors on value.

Koncep.to@KONCEPTOCHANNEL

How does the newly revealed pricing compare to its predecessors and current competitors?

Gemini 3.5 Flash at $1.5/$9 per million tokens costs 3–20× more than prior Gemini Flash models such as Gemini 1.5 Flash ($0.075/$0.30) or Gemini 3 Flash ($0.50/$3).[1]

It undercuts current competitors like Claude Sonnet 4.6 ($3/$15) and GPT-4o-class models (~$2.5/$10) while sparking debate on whether the higher Flash price reflects upgraded capability.
