Agentic Loop Configuration

In 2026, most AI applications use multi-step "agentic loops" rather than single prompts. Calculate costs for workflows like: "5 research steps + 1 summary step = 6 total steps."

Context Caching (Save up to 90%)

Modern APIs (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI) offer context caching that reduces input costs by up to 90% for repeated data. Set your cache hit rate to see potential savings.

0%

Reasoning models (like OpenAI's o-series) "think" before responding. These "thinking tokens" cost extra money and are often missed by older calculators. Enable reasoning to see the true cost.

Developer Code Snippet

Copy-paste code to integrate Gemini 3 Pro into your application

import google.generativeai as genai

genai.configure(api_key="your-api-key")
model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-3-pro')

response = model.generate_content(
    "Your prompt here",
    generation_config={
        "max_output_tokens": 2000
    }
)

print(response.text)

💡 Replace "your-api-key" with your actual API key. Adjust tokens and parameters as needed.

Best Use Cases for Gemini 3 Pro

High-Volume Applications

Gemini 3 Pro is ideal for applications requiring high throughput. With input pricing at $1.25 per 1M tokens, it's cost-effective for processing large volumes of text, images, videos, audio, making it suitable for content generation, data processing, and automated workflows.

Long-Context Tasks

With a context window of 2,000,000 tokens, Gemini 3 Pro excels at tasks requiring extensive context. Perfect for document analysis, long-form content generation, code review, and multi-turn conversations that span thousands of tokens.

Repetitive Operations

Leverage context caching at $0.32 per 1M tokens to reduce costs for repeated inputs. Ideal for applications with recurring prompts, template-based generation, and batch processing where input context can be reused.

Cost Optimization Tips

Use Context Caching

Enable context caching to reduce input costs from $1.25 to $0.32 per 1M tokens for repeated contexts.

Optimize Prompts

Shorter, more focused prompts reduce token usage. Use system messages effectively and avoid redundant context to minimize input costs.

Monitor Usage Patterns

Track your input/output token ratios. If output costs are high, consider using Gemini 3 Profor initial processing and cheaper models for follow-up tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Gemini 3 Pro cost per request?

Costs vary based on input/output tokens, caching usage, and additional features. Input tokens cost $1.25 per 1M tokens, while output tokens cost $10.00per 1M tokens. Use the calculator above to estimate costs for your specific use case.

What is the maximum context window?

Gemini 3 Pro supports up to 2,000,000 tokens in a single context window. This allows for processing of long documents, extensive conversations, and complex multi-step tasks without truncation.

How does context caching work?

Context caching allows you to reuse input context across multiple requests, reducing costs from $1.25 to $0.32 per 1M tokens. This is ideal for applications with repeated system prompts, templates, or shared context.

Can I integrate Gemini 3 Pro into my application?

Yes! Gemini 3 Pro provides a standard API that can be integrated into any application. Check the developer code snippet below the calculator for Python and Node.js integration examples.
