If you happen to be into AI and models, dancing between them depending on the task, and keeping up with the latest in Gemini, then we have news for you today in the Gemini Flash realm.
Google has announced (and released) Gemini 3.6 Flash, which is their “workhouse model” that does coding, knowledge work, and multimodal things. This new Gemini 3.6 Flash also consumes 17% fewer tokens than 3.5 Flash, delivers “higher precision with fewer unwanted code edits,” and outperforms in all of the major agentic metrics, which you can see below.
What does this all mean to normal people? Probably nothing, but if you are a heavy Gemini Flash user who knows about tokens and the cost associated with heavier loads, this is important. Cheaper AI is good, right?
In addition to Gemini 3.6 Flash, Google is also introducing Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and 3.5 Flash Cyber.
They also suggested that Gemini 4 is around the corner, saying that they “have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4.” They gave no mention on when it might launch.
Gemini 3.6 Flash and 3.5 Flash-Lite are available starting today for the following users:
- For developers in the Gemini API via Google AI Studio and Android Studio. 3.6 Flash is also available in Google Antigravity. Get started with the Developer Guide.
- For enterprises in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. 3.6 Flash is also available in the Gemini Enterprise app.
- For everyone via the Gemini app. 3.5 Flash-Lite is also rolling out in Google Search.
