Open Gemma instruction model for efficient chat and self-hosted deployments
BGE Multilingual Gemma2 by google is offered by 2 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.10 per 1M input tokens and $0 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is Infomaniak at $0.08 / $0 per 1M, about 1.3× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
The context window is 8,191 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 8,000 to 8,191, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use.
