Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite 001

Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite 001 is a pinned release of Google's lightweight multimodal model, adding function calling and structured output to a cost-efficient base. It processes images and text economically while still being able to invoke tools and return deterministic JSON. It fits systems where structured output drives orchestration logic but budget and scale are real constraints, with a 1M token context window for sizable document analysis and conversation context. The version lock keeps behavior consistent across deployments.
