Gemini 2.5 Flash (batch)

Google's Flash model with native thinking capabilities, optimized for batch processing with a 1M token context window.

Strengths

Balances reasoning ability through thinking with fast inference speed, well-suited to high-throughput scenarios where latency can be traded for cost efficiency.

Best for

Batch jobs requiring reasoning or multi-step problem solving where processing latency is acceptable and throughput matters more than real-time response.

Limitations

Thinking capability adds latency compared to standard Flash models; for real-time applications or simple tasks without reasoning needs, the non-batch Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite or Gemini 3 Flash may be more suitable.
