Updating Gemini section - Google has recently changed the free-tier from 15 requests per minute to 20 requests per DAY - so the free tier is likely not useful for Frigate usage. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1phak8x/gemini_ai_no_longer_free_whats_everyones_plan/

You must use a vision-capable model with Frigate. Current model variants can be found [in their documentation](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models/gemini). Current recommendation is [gemini-2.5-flash-lite](https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing#gemini-2.5-flash-lite), as it is low-cost and fast.

I'd prefer to remove mention of the limits and a recommended model, as they will surely change again. So let's remove this and keep the link to where the current variants can always be found.

## Google Gemini

Google Gemini has a free tier allowing [15 queries per minute](https://ai.google.dev/pricing) to the API, which is more than sufficient for standard Frigate usage.
Google Gemini has a free tier allowing [20 queries per DAY](https://ai.google.dev/pricing) to the API, which is likely not sufficient for standard Frigate usage.
