A side-by-side screenshot shows Google Gemini 4 Carbon's Flex tier priced at $1.00/$5.00 per million input/output tokens (standard: $2.00/$10.00), currently 50% off — matching OpenAI GPT 6.1 Terra's per-token price.
The screenshot also shows routing differences: Flex via Google AI Studio runs 50 tok/s at 99.83% uptime, while standard routing shows 39 tok/s (85.68%) on AI Studio and 37 tok/s (67.24%) on Vertex. Flagship pricing has converged, so throughput and reliability are becoming the differentiators.
