Google Gemini has a [free tier](https://ai.google.dev/pricing) for the API, however the limits may not be sufficient for standard Frigate usage.


### Supported Models

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).
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.
