Why is gemini flash the same price as pro?
EDIT - This has been reverted, but this has happened before - [https://www.reddit.com/r/windsurf/comments/1pzk1bq/why\_is\_the\_gemini\_3\_flash\_credits\_more\_than\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/windsurf/comments/1pzk1bq/why_is_the_gemini_3_flash_credits_more_than_the/)
Can someone please explain to me why gemini flash is the same price as pro?
From external testing gemini flash uses 1/2 the tokens on average, and it also costs 1/4 the price (minimum). That should mean that flash is at worst 1/4 the price of pro, but it is the same.
Anyone from the windsurf team letting me know would be great, otherwise I'm back to cursor.
