Introducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Google is pitching the new Flash lineup around cheaper, faster agent runs, with a cyber model kept to a limited CodeMender pilot.
Gemini 3.6 Flash is described as a more efficient workhorse than 3.5 Flash, with lower output-token use, lower pricing, and gains in coding, knowledge work, multimodal tasks, and computer use. 3.5 Flash-Lite is the high-throughput option, rated at 350 output tokens per second and priced below Flash for production traffic. Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber is fine-tuned for vulnerability finding and fixing inside CodeMender, but Google says access will be limited to governments and trusted partners. Gemini 3.5 Pro is still in partner testing, while Gemini 4 has begun pre-training. Google DeepMind's note
