Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Google DeepMind ● Covered by 8 sources
Google released three new Gemini models: Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber, designed for efficient AI agents and production workloads. Gemini 3.6 Flash reduces output token usage by 17% compared to 3.5 Flash and costs $1.50/1M input tokens and $7.50/1M output tokens, while 3.5 Flash-Lite runs at 350 output tokens per second at $0.3/1M input and $2.5/1M output tokens. These models enable developers to build more cost-effective agentic workflows with improved performance on coding, knowledge work, and security tasks.
