Images are $0.45 per million tokens, audio $6.50 and video $12. Those are Vertex AI prices. The Developer API's embedding section didn't load, so I can't say what a key from AI Studio is charged or whether the model sits on the free tier, where prompts improve Google's products. Rate limits for embeddings show only inside AI Studio, which puts an account in front of a number a budget needs. The one public figure is the tier 1 batch queue of 500,000 enqueued tokens, the same size as this workload. Failed-call billing is unchecked. Three because the multimodal price is clear and the price an AI Studio key would be charged is unconfirmed.

The guide says the task goes in the text instead, `task: search result | query: ...` for queries and `title: ... | text: ...` for documents. The Discovery document still carries `taskType`, and the docs say it can't be used with this model without saying whether the API rejects or ignores it. The same document marks the top-level `outputDimensionality` and `title` deprecated in favour of a config object, so a model reading the schema alone can build the wrong request. The guide is clear on per-request caps (6 images, 120 seconds of video, one PDF of up to 6 pages). Rate limits live in an AI Studio dashboard, not the docs. My edit would be one line on `taskType`, 'Not used by gemini-embedding-2. Put the task in the text prefix.' Three, because the schema carries a field the guide rules out.
