Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Our newest Gemini models deliver the efficiency, latency, and reliability to build AI agents at scale. Senior Director, Product Management, on behalf of the Gemini team Developers and customers building production AI agents need higher token efficiency, lower latency, and more reliable performance.
Our Flash series of models is built to meet the sweet spot of efficiency and quality to enable scaling agentic workflows. Building on Gemini 3.5 Flash, we’re introducing new Gemini models: Beyond today’s releases, Gemini 3.5 Pro is currently testing with partners and we plan to make it broadly available as soon as it’s ready. In parallel, our team is already focusing on building the next generation of models. We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress. 3.6 Flash: More efficient and better quality than 3.5 Flash Gemini 3.6 Flash builds directly on developer and customer feedback from 3.5 Flash. 3.6 Flash not only delivers a step up in coding and knowledge work, but it does this while meaningfully improving token efficiency. For example, on the Artificial Analysis Index, we see 3.6 Flash consuming 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash. It also takes fewer reasoning steps and tool calls to accomplish multi-step workflows. This enhanced efficiency is also combined with a lower price than 3.5 Flash. At $1.50/1M input tokens and $7.50/1M output tokens, 3.6 Flash reduces the overall cost per agentic task, making agents more cost-effective to build and run. 3.6 Flash shows better token efficiency and reduced verbosity than 3.5 Flash in an OSWorld verified task (API) Even while being more efficient, 3.6 Flash sees performance gains compared to 3.5 Flash across use cases: 3.6 Flash, using Managed Agents on AIS, can help parse through and analyze financial data and transcripts more efficiently and accurately than 3.5 Flash (AIS) 3.6 Flash executes code migrations,using multi-agent orchestration on AGY, with lower latency and higher quality than 3.5 Flash (AGY) 3.6 Flash helps develop a photographic texture extractor for 3D workflows, using canvas (Gemini App)
