Google: Gemini Embedding 2

google/gemini-embedding-2

Gemini Embedding 2 is Google's first multimodal embedding model. We currently support mapping text and images into a unified vector space for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It supports input context up to 8,192 tokens and flexible output dimensions from 128 to 3,072 (recommended: 768, 1536, or 3,072). Designed for cross-modal similarity — you can embed a text query and retrieve the most relevant images, or vice versa — making it well-suited for multimodal search, recommendation, and document understanding pipelines.

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick — Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), Floor (cheapest), or Exacto (highest tool-calling accuracy).

Pricing

The average price customers actually pay for this model, next to the prices providers post. Caching and discounts mean the price actually paid is often well below the listed one.

Performance

Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

Apps

Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.

Activity

Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.

Quick Start

Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.

Nano Banana 2 Lite

Nano Banana 2 Lite (Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite Image) is Google's fastest, most cost-efficient Gemini image model, built for high-velocity developer pipelines and rapid-fire visual exploration. It delivers text-to-image generation in roughly 4 seconds — about 2.7× faster than Gemini 3.1 Flash Image — while keeping the character consistency, precise editing, and real-world knowledge of the Nano Banana family.

A single drop-in API handles text-to-image, image editing, and multi-image composition. As a multimodal model it also returns text alongside images. Outputs are generated at 1K resolution across 14 aspect ratios and carry an invisible SynthID watermark so they can be identified as AI-generated.

Positioned as the best balance of quality and speed in the Nano Banana 2 line, it lets you generate thousands of images at a fraction of the cost of heavier production models — ideal for prototyping, real-time apps, and visual workflows at scale.

It offers industry-leading text rendering in images (including long passages and multilingual layouts), consistent multi-image blending, and accurate identity preservation across up to five subjects. Nano Banana Pro adds fine-grained creative controls such as localized edits, lighting and focus adjustments, camera transformations, and support for 2K/4K outputs and flexible aspect ratios. It is designed for professional-grade design, product visualization, storyboarding, and complex multi-element compositions while remaining efficient for general image creation workflows.

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview

Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Preview is a text-to-speech model from Google, and a substantial generational step up from Gemini 2.5 Flash TTS. It takes text input and produces audio output across 70+ languages — nearly 3× the language coverage of its predecessor.

The headline addition is a system of 200+ inline audio tags (e.g. [whispers], [laughs], [excited]) that let developers steer delivery, emotion, and pacing mid-sentence, alongside a "director's chair" workflow in Google AI Studio for defining per-character Audio Profiles and scene-level context. It supports up to two speakers with independent voice and style configuration per speaker, outputs PCM audio at 24 kHz / 16-bit mono, and automatically watermarks all output with SynthID. Context window is 32k tokens.
