llm-gemini 0.19.1. Bugfix release for my llm-gemini plugin, which was recording the number of output tokens (needed to calculate the price of a response) incorrectly for the Gemini "thinking" models. Those models turn out to return candidatesTokenCount and thoughtsTokenCount as two separate values which need to be added together to get the total billed output token count. Full details in this issue.
I spotted this potential bug in this response log this morning, and my concerns were confirmed when Paul Gauthier wrote about a similar fix in Aider in Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 03-25 benchmark cost, where he noted that the $6.32 cost recorded to benchmark Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 03-25 was incorrect. Since that model is no longer available (despite the date-based model alias persisting) Paul is not able to accurately calculate the new cost, but it's likely a lot more since the Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview 05-06 benchmark cost $37.
I've gone through my gemini tag and attempted to update my previous posts with new calculations - this mostly involved increases in the order of 12.336 cents to 16.316 cents (as seen here).
