Google releases 3 new Gemini models.
- Gemini 3.6 Flash: 17% fewer output tokens compared to 3.5 Flash, lower pricing, and stronger coding, knowledge, multimodal, and computer-use performance. On the DeepSWE coding test the new 3.6 Flash: jumps to 49% from the old 37%. Computer use is now built in, and OSWorld-Verified climbs to 83.0% from 78.4%. So the new 3.6 Flash is quite strong on agentic work. The price drops too, landing at $1.50/1M input and $7.50/1M output tokens.
- 3.5 Flash-Lite: most cost-effective 3.5-class model, delivering 350 output tokens per second. costs just $0.3/1M input and $2.5/1M output, so high-volume work gets much cheaper.
- 3.5 Flash Cyber: This is the odd one, tuned to find and patch security holes. highly efficient, specialized cyber-focused model . finds and fixes vulnerabilities through CodeMender, with access limited to governments and trusted partners.
