Gemini has a very generous Free Tier for their API (including 2.5 Flash and 2.5 Pro): https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey

Keep in mind that using the free tier models means Google will keep what you send and use it for training.

In bold in their terms is: "Do not submit sensitive, confidential, or personal information to the Unpaid Services."

Same here. Plus I want to run this locally because I'm concerned about my data (and hey, I'm a hacker and don't want to be dependent on machines out of my control, and besides I like reproducibility).

it's not that big with gemini flash model, no need for full model for this
