Questions

Can I route directly to Gemini Flash?

Yes. Use the Gemini model ID directly, or use an alias when you want fallback across comparable fast models.

How should I choose alternatives?

Start with price, context length, privacy posture, and the measured latency tables on the model and leaderboard pages.
