whats confusing they have different pricing for output. Here [1] it's $5/million output (starting 1st october) and on vertex AI [2] it's $2.5/1 million (starting 7 october) - but characters - so it's overall gonna be more expensive if you wanna compare to equivalent 1 million tokens. It's actually even more confusing to know what kind of characters they mean? 1 byte? UTF-8?

They do mention how characters are counted in the Vertex AI pricing docs: "Characters are counted by UTF-8 code points and white space is excluded from the count"

They CHANGED the pricing for the first link; originally the output said price drop from $10.50 to $2.50 but now it says $10.50 to $5.00.
