Google: Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview 04-17

Gemini 2.5 Flash is Google's state-of-the-art workhorse model, specifically designed for advanced reasoning, coding, mathematics, and scientific tasks. It includes built-in "thinking" capabilities, enabling it to provide responses with greater accuracy and nuanced context handling.

Note: This model is available in two variants: thinking and non-thinking. The output pricing varies significantly depending on whether the thinking capability is active. If you select the standard variant (without the ":thinking" suffix), the model will explicitly avoid generating thinking tokens.

To utilize the thinking capability and receive thinking tokens, you must choose the ":thinking" variant, which will then incur the higher thinking-output pricing.

Additionally, Gemini 2.5 Flash is configurable through the "max tokens for reasoning" parameter, as described in the documentation (https://openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/reasoning-tokens#max-tokens-for-reasoning).
