OptionalAvatarThe price of avatar video output, charged on top of the session's token cost. 'Per Minute'
prices the seconds of avatar video the model generates; 'Per 1M Tokens' prices the output
tokens the provider counts as video. Set the price and its unit together: the cascade merges
per key, so a layer that sets only one of them keeps the other from the layer below.
Gemini 3.8 Live on Vertex AI is seeded at Google's $1.00 per 1M avatar video output tokens. Google bills avatar video only while the avatar speaks, so a token price follows the bill; a per-minute price would also count the idle avatar between answers.
Prices for realtime output that the model's cost rows (
MJ: AI Model Costs) do not price on their own; the cost rows stay the authority for token prices. A price belongs to the host that charges it, so set this on the model-vendor row: a price on the model or the model type would reach every vendor that serves the model.
