Open the original- What it measures
- Google lists the rate per million input tokens and gives the per-minute figure as an estimate, based on 25 audio tokens per second. The page shows the free tier as free of charge for input.
- What it does not show
- This is the standard rate for the model. Google's per-minute figure is an estimate from its token rate, and the bill for a given file depends on how many tokens that file uses. The price list shows a different row for other tiers, and some rates change on later dates.
