For Gemini 2.0 Flash (sentencepiece tokenizer), 1,000,000 words is approximately 1,333,000 tokens (an average ratio of 1.33 tokens per word in English). Code, technical vocabulary, and non-English scripts will have higher token densities.
Sending 1,000,000 words as input costs $0.1333 (or $0.0333 with prompt caching). Generating 1,000,000 words as output costs $0.5332. Output tokens are more expensive because autoregressive token generation requires significantly more computation per token.
Yes! If your input text is part of a repeated context, prompt caching saves 50% to 90% (costing $0.0333). For non-urgent asynchronous batch processing, 24-hour batch queues provide a flat 50% discount across all tokens (costing $0.0667 for input, $0.2666 for output).
At an average human reading speed of 250 words per minute, 1,000,000 words takes approximately 4000 minutes to read. In contrast, Gemini 2.0 Flash can process or generate this text in seconds.
