Google is bleeding margins to win volume, and builders are the immediate beneficiaries. This aggressive price cut signals the end of the premium inference era for lightweight models.

Stork's own LLM price catalog recorded a massive shift in Google's first-party list prices today. The lab cut Gemini Flash-Lite Latest by 60%, dropping web search calls from $0.04 down to $0.01 per call. The standard Gemini Flash Latest model saw the exact same reduction, falling from $0.04 to $0.01 per call.
