Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Google DeepMind ● Covered by 19 sources
Google released three new Gemini models: Gemini 3.6 Flash with 17% better token efficiency than 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite achieving 350 output tokens per second, and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber for cybersecurity tasks. Gemini 3.6 Flash costs $1.50 per million input tokens and $7.50 per million output tokens, reducing overall agentic task costs. These models enable developers to build more efficient and cost-effective AI agents with improved performance on coding, knowledge work, and security tasks.
