Google launched Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, an AI model designed to find and patch security vulnerabilities as a lower-cost alternative to larger systems like Anthropic's Mythos. The model will initially be available to governments and trusted partners through CodeMender, Google's security-focused coding agent, which can call it multiple times at high speed and low cost. This enables AI agents to scan more code paths and identify vulnerabilities more efficiently than with expensive larger models.
