So Google quietly shipped two new image-gen models yesterday, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image and Gemini 3 Pro Image and honestly it feels like a bit of a consolation prize while everyone's still waiting on Gemini 3.5 Pro.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Image (budget)

Runs about ₹47 per million input tokens and ₹284 per million output tokens. This one's for people who just wanna crank out a ton of images fast without caring if every single one is gallery-worthy.

Gemini 3 Pro Image (premium)

About ₹189 per million input tokens and ₹1,135 per million output tokens. This is the one for actual design/marketing/enterprise stuff where quality over quantity.
