Good luck using 2.5 for anything non-trivial.

I have about 500,000 news articles I am parsing. OpenAI models work well but found Gemini had fewer mistakes.

Problem is; they give me a terrible 10k RPD limit. To increase to the next tier, they then require a minimum amount of spending but I can't reach that amount even when maxing the RPD limit for multiple days in a row.

I emailed them twice and completed their forms but everyone knows how this works. So now I'm back at OpenAI, with a model with a bit more mistakes but that won't 403 me after half an hour of using it due to their limits.
