How low will the Google Gemini 3.5 Flash output token price (paid tier) get in 2026?

Prediction market odds reflect real-money trader conviction and often diverge from published analyst reports on AI pricing trends. While traditional forecasters may rely on historical pricing patterns and vendor roadmaps, this market aggregates live bets from participants with direct exposure to the outcome. Analyst consensus typically emphasizes long-term cost curves and competitive pressure, whereas market odds can shift rapidly based on earnings calls, product announcements, or competitive moves. Comparing the two reveals whether traders are pricing in faster or slower price declines than experts publicly predict.

Technical improvements reducing inference costs may accelerate price declines, moving odds significantly.
